Gunn announces plans for new Superman feature, but says Cavill won’t be returning
DC STUDIOS CO-HEAD James Gunn has announced plans for a new Superman movie that will focus on the hero’s younger years. Gunn also revealed that Superman veteran Henry Cavill would not be returning.
“Peter & I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn’t be more over-the-moon about; we’ll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year,” Gunn tweeted on Wednesday evening.
“Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.”
