One of DC Studios’ top chiefs, James Gunn, has denied reports that the studio intends to supplant Henry Cavill as Superman.
Months in the wake of affirming his re-visitation of the job, Cavill recognized the “miserable news” that he had been dropped in December 2022.
Gunn, then again, said that Cavill was not ended from his situation but instead was not welcomed ready for any future undertakings.
Gunn and Peter Safran have of late taken command of the hero establishment. Gunn uncovered on Tuesday that DC Studios will be supporting various new realistic ventures.
James Gunn, one of the new bosses of DC Studios, has dismissed Henry Cavill’s claims that he was dropped from his role as “Superman,” saying that the actor was never fired, just simply not hired.

Also, “I like Henry, I believe he’s an extraordinary person. I believe he’s getting [messed] around by a many individuals, including the previous system at this organization.
However, this Superman isn’t Henry, for various reasons.”
Cavill’s depiction of Superman in films like “Man of Steel” and “Batman v Superman” was met with both applause and analysis.
All things being equal, he surprised everybody with what seems, by all accounts, to be his last appearance in the Dwayne Johnson flick “Dark Adam” in October.
