DC fans may not be over the departure of Henry Cavill, but that has not stopped James Gunn from pushing forward with his upcoming film, Superman: Legacy. While most were initially unsure about a new Superman, David Corenswet has since proved that he is up for the role with his insane transformation. But although the actor has been putting in the work, some fans are still not convinced owing to the fact that Gunn has wiped out most of the faces fans came to love during the past decade.

Perhaps it was the massive uproar from fans of James Gunns’s eye for perfection,one actress has managed to weather the storms that even the likes of Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Ben Affleck could not.

After slashing Henry Cavill, who has James Gunn save for his new DC?

Recently, it was reported by Variety that Viola Davis could be reprising a role for an upcoming DCU film. The post claimed that the 58-year-old could be set to play her iconic role of Amanda Waller from The Suicide Squad. The surprising part was that it would not be for a sequel or a Suicide Squad spinoff. Instead, she would be making an appearance in James Gunn’s 2025 film, Superman: Legacy.

Viola Davis brings Amanda Waller to life in Suicide Squad with a commanding presence and unwavering authority, delivering a standout performance that adds depth to the ensemble cast. Given that James Gunn’s new Superman, David Corenswet, is still a new face, her prowess would do wonders for the film. However, fans are curious as to what role the morally ambiguous Waller could play in Superman:Legacy.

While the introduction of Amanda Waller in Gunn’s new Superman movie comes as a surprise, it is not as shocking as the fact that only two of the original DCEU actors remain on board.

Before news broke that Viola Davis could be making an appearance in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, it was revealed via a DC spokesperson to Variety, that most of Zack Snyder’s cast would not be reprising their roles in the new DCU. This has led to an outpour of love for the director. From Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, , and even Ezra Miller, most of the actors are said to not be returning to their roles. However, they did reveal that John Cena, the WWE superstar, would be coming back as the Peacemaker. Along with Xolo Mariuena continuing as the Blue Beetle.

Though it might be sad for fans to see their favorite stars being removed from their iconic roles, Gunn has promised that they will make way for newer ones. However, it is still up for debate whether fans are ready for new actors to take the place of these DC icons. While fans may have to wait a while before they hear more about the changing DCU, Gunn’s exciting updates have kept them busy.
