The newly appointed co-head of DC Studios seems to have hatred for director Zack Snyder’s Snyderverse in the DCU. The removal of Henry Cavill and focus on a more younger Superman was a clear indication of rebooting a franchise from the ground up.

While alleged reports of Gal Gadot quitting the DCU and stepping down from her role as Wonder Woman in the DCU is also a statement that the American filmmaker would have his way for this new era of DC. With the focus entirely devoted to the young Superman film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom along with The Flash seem to be the last remnants of the DC before James Gunn.
