James Gunn has introduced that he will likely be writing a brand new Superman film, however the large information is that Henry Cavill won’t be returning to reprise his position. That is one thing I’ve recognized about for a while and I’ve been teasing it, and now right here we’re.
The Superman story that Gunn will likely be writing will put concentrate on an earlier a part of Superman’s life. Now, whereas Cavill won’t be reprising his position as Superman within the movie, Gunn and Peter Safran have been speaking about different tasks to work on.
Gunn defined in a collection of tweets:
Peter & I’ve a DC slate able to go, which we couldn’t be extra over-the-moon about; we’ll be capable of share some thrilling details about our first tasks firstly of the brand new yr.
Amongst these on the slate is Superman. Within the preliminary levels, our story will likely be specializing in an earlier a part of Superman’s life, so the character won’t be performed by Henry Cavill.
However we simply had an incredible assembly with Henry and we’re large followers and we talked about numerous thrilling potentialities to work collectively sooner or later.
So, it appears to be like like DC Studios is to shut the curtain on the Snyderverse and begin recent. It is sensible to do this, and I’m truly wanting ahead to seeing what this way forward for the DC Cinematic Universe finally ends up being.
Gunn beforehand stated that “Superman is a large precedence, if not the largest precedence.” This primary movie goes to set the tone for what the remainder of this new DCU goes to be. They’re setting on a mission to inform the “Greatest Story Ever Informed throughout a number of movies, tv exhibits, & animated tasks.”
Gunn is a super-talented filmmaker and storyteller, so carry it on! I’m able to see what his imaginative and prescient of the DCU goes to be! With this new story specializing in a youthful model of Superman, will they take the Smallville method?
