James Gunn’sSupermanis on the horizon, with several rumors and conspiracy theories dominating the discussion among fans. While many details of the movie are under wraps, the theories surrounding the movie have caught the attention of the director as he responded to the speculations slamming some 9f the.. Particularly, theroies on the removal of Henry Cavill’s Superman.
Starring David Corenswet, Gunn’sSupermanis one of the most ambitious projects from DC following the revamp after Gun and Peter Safran took over the studio.Supermanwill be the first movie in the new dawn of the DC Universe. However, the rumors and theories have frustrated Gunn, and he asked fans not to believe anything that is not from the official sources.
James Gunn Responded to a Conspiracy Theory
DC bossJames Gunnhas responded to a new conspiracy theory involving his DC tenure. The director was asked by a fan if the dismissal ofHenry Cavill’sSuperman was always the intention.
“I’m going to infer that the ‘we were lied to’ angle is regarding a popular conspiracy theory that you were always planning on rebooting DC and making your own Superman movie when you first got hired by Warner Bros. and finished The Suicide Squad, hence ‘intending on always screwing over Cavill’ and ‘lying to the fans’ since you said you had (at the time) no interest in running DC, and didn’t want to make a Superman movie,”the user asked Gunn onThreads.

Gunn responded by refuting the claim and added that a new Superman was always in the pitch of the movie.
“I don’t quite understand how that fits. Aside from the fact I had no interest in running DC until Peter decided to do it with me so he could do the exec stuff & I could focus on creative, when I was hired to write Superman it was always intended as & pitched as a new Superman story, so why would I lie about not planning that at the Squad premiere which would have amounted to the same thing at the end of the day? How does this particular conspiracy theory make sense?”Gunnresponded.
Cavill’s dismissal, alongsideBen Affleck’sBatman from DC, has been upsetting for many fans. However, it is clearly visible that the room for the Snyderverse heroes is very narrow to fit in his vision of making a new version of the DC Universe.
How Did The Conspiracy Theory Spark?
Many fans blame Gunn for the dismissal of Henry Cavill’s Superman from DC. The new conspiracy theory sparked afterNathan Fillion’sCollider interview during his promotional tour of the second season ofMonsters at Work. Fillion revealed that his casting as Guy Gardner/The Green Lantern dates back toThe Suicide Squadpremiere party in 2021.

“We were actually at the premiere party after Suicide Squad and he was in a huge crowd of people. We saw each other in the crowd and I congratulated him, ‘Oh, my God, that was amazing. It’s so great.’ He goes, ‘Hey, did Peter [Safran] tell you what we’ve got for you next?’ I said, ‘No, he hasn’t said.’ He looked around like someone was gonna be listening. We were in a throng of people, but he leaned over and said, ‘You’re gonna be Guy Gardner,’”Fillion toldCollider’sChristina Radish.
The interview sparked controversy as fans started to blame Gunn, claiming that he had been lying to them while he was allegedly involved inCavill’s departure from DC. Fans have linked Fillion’s casting to Cavill’s release, which was allegedly planned for 2021. However, Gunn has clarified the huge confusion among fans.
