James Gunn says Superman is DC Studios’ “biggest priority”.

How James Gunn And Peter Safran continue to plan the future of the DC Cinematic Universe, fans wonder what the future holds for Superman. After all, Superman is one of the most popular comic book characters of all time.

Well, a fan recently reached out to Gunn asking, “Please tell us if we’re going to see a Superman? We’re hungry for the greatest comic book character to hit the silver screen in ages!

Gunn then responded by saying, “Yeah, sure. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority.” This isn’t all that surprising, of course, Superman will be in their plans! But he doesn’t specify if this Superman will be Henry Cavill.

So while Superman is a big priority for DC Studios, there’s still a chance it’s not Cavill. There have been multiple reports that Cavill’s version of the character may not fit into Gunn and Safran’s plans and that his deal to return for a sequel has never been set in stone.

At least we know we’ll see a new Superman movie one day!

Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority.

Gunn recently responded to all outgoing insider reports, including Wonder Woman 3 be deleted, Henry Cavill don’t come back as Superman, Jason MomoaIt’s time for Aquaman to end after the upcoming sequel, and Dwayne JohnsonBlack Adam will not have a sequel. He said:

So. As for yesterday’s story in the Hollywood Reporter, it’s some of it true, some of it’s half true, some of it isn’t true, and some of it we haven’t decided yet whether it’s true or not.

While this first month at DC has been fruitful, building the next ten years of history takes time and we’re just getting started.

Peter and I chose to run DC Studios knowing that we were entering a contentious environment, both in the stories being told and in the audiences themselves and there would be an inevitable period of transition as we move towards telling a coherent story across film, TV , animation and games.

But, in the end, the drawbacks of that transitional period were dwarfed by the creative possibilities and opportunity to build on what has worked at DC so far and help fix what hasn’t.

We know we won’t make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise that everything we do is done in service of STORY and in service of DC CHARACTERS, we know you care and we’ve loved our entire lives.

As for further answers on the future of the DCU, sadly I’ll have to ask you to wait. We are giving these characters and stories the time and attention they deserve and we ourselves still have many more questions to ask and answer.

What do you think Gunn and Safran are planning for Superman? Do you think they will bring Cavill back or do you think they will refund him? What do you want to see them do?
