In 2022, a tweet surfaced, hinting at DC’s quest for a new Superman. Several years later, Henry Cavill made a triumphant return as the iconic superhero, only to face the disappointment of being dropped once again after reprising the role. This unexpected turn of events ignited a passionate fury among devoted Cavill fans. The backlash was so intense that it even reverberated onto James Gunn.

The ongoing debate over preferential treatment in Gunn’s castings resurfaced with a tweet from Matt Ramos. It addressed the rumor about the revival of Wonder Woman 3, with Gal Gadot set to reprise her role, potentially as a reboot to align it with the DCU. However, Ramos raised a thought-provoking question: if such adjustments can be made for Gadot’s return, why not afford the same opportunity to Cavill?

Ramos’ thought-provoking statement resonated deeply with fans of the DC Universe. It ignited a lingering question about the need for a reboot after Cavill’s departure. His words struck a chord, sparking intense discussions.

The controversy stirred passionate reactions from fans and critics alike, shedding light on the complexities of Hollywood decisions and the impact they have on beloved franchises and their dedicated fan bases.

Henry Cavill controversy unleashed as fans react to Wonder Woman 3 reboot

As discussions continued to swirl around Gunn’s casting choices, a user astutely observed the pattern of Superman and Batman being affected alike. They intriguingly proposed that in Ben Affleck’s portrayal of Batman, a simple retcon could have woven a fascinating storyline involving Batman’s son.

A wave of frustration swept through some as they couldn’t contain their outbursts about Gunn’s perceived preferential treatment. Fans voiced their discontent with how he seemed to solely focus on his vision rather than considering the desires and expectations of the audience.

While acknowledging Gadot’s greatness, one user fervently expressed the longing of fans for the cherished elements from the old universe. Their sentiment was a heartfelt plea, as they found themselves unable to move past Cavill’s departure from Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.

As the debate ensued, other loyal Gunn fans emerged to show their unwavering support. They contended that while they appreciate Cavill’s portrayal, his age might not align with the vision of a youthful Superman that Gunn is aiming to portray.

There were some who remained unimpressed with the idea of a reboot amidst the passionate debates within the DCU fandom. To them, the DCU seemed like a chaotic maze, one they believed Gunn had inadvertently contributed to.

Despite Gunn’s clear intent to pursue a younger Superman, the unwavering devotion of Cavill’s fans remains steadfast, unwilling to let go of the actor’s memorable portrayals as the iconic superhero.
