December 10, 2022: James Gunn Says Superman is a Priority

It's been a crazy weekend of revelations and speculation regarding the future of DC movies, with plenty of stories and reactions stemming from the recent article by The Hollywood Reporter that plans for Henry Cavill's return as Superman are still in doubt.

The Hollywood Reporter also claims that before James Gunn and Peter Safran came on board, "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight had penned a treatment for a Superman film starring Henry Cavill, but the script didn't thrill Warner Bros. executives, and development promptly ended.

It has also been reported that former head of DC Films Walter Hamada had plans to eventually bring back Henry Cavill in a "Crisis on Infinite Earths" adaptation, but that Dwayne Johnson's insistance that he cameo at the end of "Black Adam" thwarted those plans. The word is that the upcoming "The Flash" movie would have laid the groundwork for the "Crisis" idea, with multiple timelines and cameos.

Now, on the back of his Twitter notice about today being the 44th anniversary of the release of "Superman: The Movie," DC Studio's Co-CEO James Gunn has also indicated that Superman is very much a priority at Warner Bros.

"Superman premiered 44 years ago today," Gunn tweeted.

When asked whether Superman would be coming back to the big screen, Gunn responded with, "Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority."

The fact that he mentioned Superman but not Henry Cavill prompted another fan to ask Gunn if he could deny rumors that he does not like Henry Cavill. Gunn wrote, "Sure: false."

So, with Superman a huge priority for Warner Bros., and Henry Cavill recently announcing he's back as Superman, and saying he was excited to work with James Gunn, all we can do is sit back and wait for an official announcement one way or the other.
