When Henry Cavill announced his exit from the DC universe, it created skepticism about Gunn’s plans. But a fan and pop culture speaker, Matt Ramos recently posted how the creator’s ability to touch fans could mean a positive future for the Superman franchise. The poster along with the tweet shows the superhero hugging a little girl. In a way that represents Gunn’s vision of wanting a hero that is humane and huggable.
