“They haven't even seen the movie yet”: James Gunn responded to rumors of “Superman” sequel reshoots
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Following the announcement of DC Studios heads stepping down, reports surfaced suggesting the film might be reworked without the director's involvement.
James Gunn refuted rumors that Skydance leadership had watched “Man of Tomorrow” and demanded extensive changes. According to the director, only Peter Safran and a few people close to him have seen the “Superman” sequel so far:
“Nobody at Skydance has even seen the film yet. Only Peter Safran and a very small circle of friends and family I trust have watched it. So all of these stories are untrue.”
The rumors surfaced following the November 9 announcement that Gunn and Safran were stepping down from their leadership roles at DC Studios. It was reported that the sequel could be sent for reshoots without Gunn's involvement to recast Wonder Woman, as well as to cut down or completely remove scenes featuring Supergirl and Blue Beetle.
The release of “Man of Tomorrow” is still scheduled for July 9, 2027.
