James Gunn remembers Henry Cavill's reaction to “Superman” recasting

As David Coreenswet on the red cloak for James Gunns SuperhumanThe DCU fans could still see how Henry Cavill returned in a different role.

The head of DC Studios recently said that he would “love” it to fill Cavill in his DCU when he said how he and co-chair Peter Safran broke the “absolute gentleman” of an actor that he would no longer play Clark Kent in the franchise.

“It's terrible. Whether you believe it or not, on the day we dealt with it to find out whether we could take the job in DC studios” Happy sad confusion Podcast. “On the day the deal was closed, they suddenly announced that Henry was back. And I said: 'What's going on? We know what the plan is. The plan should come in and do Superhuman. 'It was really unfair to him and a total crap. ”

When he and Safran in 2022 were attracted to Co-Head DC studios, Gunn said: “At that time there was a vacuum and many people … they had an attitude to what they wanted to do at DC, and they tried to force their way, and it was simply never part of the equation for the equation for equation for equation for equation for equation for equation Equation for [WBD CEO] David Zaslav. We came in and that was really unhappy. I am like 'this poor guy.' “

Gunn and Safran “set” with Kavill to break the news. “He was an absolute gentleman and a great guy,” Gunn recalled. “He said,” The only thing I ask is that I can reveal it myself instead of coming from you. “And I said:” This is a class. “

And although Corenswet took over as a steel man, Cavill could still appear in the new DCU. “I talked to him about it that day. I would like to put Henry in something,” said Gunn.

Since DC Studios was taken over with saffron, Superhuman marks the first entry in its new DCU franchise, which begins with the phase of the 'gods and monsters'.
