The future of the DCU is one of the hottest topics on the Internet right now. Since it was announced that James Gunn is looking forward to rebooting the whole universe, fans have been widely divided. Although the studio didn’t spark any recasting rumors, Gunn faced an intense backlash. Amidst all this, the co-CEO of DC is now accused of hating Henry Cavill. Even after he was quick to deny the accusation, the YouTuber Joshua Lucas is convinced about it.
The return of Cavill’s caped Kryptonian was one of the most anticipated events among DCU fans. Their wish was also fulfilled by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson who brought Henry Cavill back in his Black Adam. But soon after the Man of Steel 2 reports started to headline everywhere, various sources cited that James Gunn will likely reboot the universe, therefore, canceling the whole SnyderVerse started by Zack Snyder and trashing numerous planned projects.
James Gunn is accused of hating Henry Cavill
In a recent tweet by YouTuber Joshua Lucas who owns the channel The Den of Nerds, he accused James Gunn of hating Henry Cavill. What followed after is a series of tweets and replies between the YouTuber and the CEO who claimed that it is outright false.
Finally, the Peacemaker director lost his cool and put an end to the conversation with a reply that immediately impressed his fans.
So weird. You seemed so plugged in! Anyway, I just had forty people reach out to me to say you just got kicked out of your Mom’s basement. So sorry, man.

Gunn has also reportedly scrapped the entire script of Wonder Woman 3 by Patty Jenkins and it is highly unlikely that the director will opt for another take. But that doesn’t mean the end of the Gal Gadot era as the Amazonian. James Gunn has repeatedly stated to not believe in any rumor now as nobody but he and Peter Safran are only the bearers of knowledge about the future of the studio.
Although the Twitter altercation with Joshua Lucas somewhat saw an end here, a reply from The Suicide Squad director to a fan indicated a very bright future for Superman.
James Gunn knows the importance of Superman
The controversies related to the Guardians of the Galaxy fame and Henry Cavill were fueled after a report also stated that a Henry Cavill cameo in The Flash is absent from the final cut of the movie. This raised panic among the fans who suspect that the British actor’s future in the studio as the Man of Steel might be in jeopardy.
It must be remembered that Gunn knows very well about the importance of Superman in DCU. It also resonated in his tweet to a fan who wanted to know a clear answer on the future of the Kryptonian.
Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority.

Although some fans might argue that he mentioned Superman’s importance and not Henry Cavill’s which might hint at a bleak fate for The Witcher actor. Besides, he also clearly stated that this time he would return for a long term in the DCU following his appearance in Black Adam which makes it more surprising.
Now it is only upon James Gunn to let us know what is actually cooking in the studio and if they are really planning to recast some of them if not all. They are reported to reveal their 10-year plan at the start of 2023.
