New DC boss James Gunn goes all in as he slams former DC management while addressing the Henry Cavill rumors.

“History of DC is pretty fu*ked up..”- James Gunn Blasts at Former Management as He Clears Air Around Henry Cavill and Superman

Over the past few months, the new CEO of DC James Gunn has become subject to
criticism from the masses. While the fans are unhappy over numerous decisions,
one of the biggest upsets was firing Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as Superman. Axing out Cavill was
one of the biggest heartbreaks for the DC fandom. And the fans did not hold back
from calling out Gunn and Peter Safran. However recently, Gunn made a shocking
revelation about Cavill.

As of late, everybody has got their eyes on the new DC bosses as the duo plans
to rebuild the franchise entirely. Not long ago, James Gunn announced his plans
for DC as the franchise enters its new era. Apart from laying down the
groundwork for the studio, Gunn also addressed Cavill’s departure from DC.

HENRY CAVILL DID NOT SIGN ANY OFFICIAL CONTRACT BEFORE RETURNING AS SUPERMAN?

When Black Adam first made its way to our screens, everyone was excited about
two things: Dwayne Johnson’s DC debut and Henry Cavill return as Superman.
Although the fans were eager to see more of the British actor stay, their dreams
were cut short. And recently, Gunn took a moment to clear the air around
Cavill’s return as Superman. Firstly, Gunn slammed the former DC management as
he revealed to Variety
[https://variety.com/2023/film/news/dc-james-gunn-peter-safran-creative-vision-screenwriting-1235507276/],
“As everyone here probably knows, the history of DC is pretty messed up, it was
f***** up.”



Following that, Gunn admitted that he did not fire Cavill because the studio
never hired the British actor. Strange as it sounds, the DC boss revealed that
Cavill did not sign any official contract with the studio. On the other hand,
Gunn did not hold himself back as he lashed out at the former DC management.
Gunn revealed how no one in the studio was “minding the mint and everybody was
handing out IP like they were party favors.” Moreover, Gunn added how the
Enola Holmes star was getting “d***ed around” by the former regime at DC.

Meanwhile, the Suicide Squad director revealed that he liked Cavill calling him
a “great guy.” While there seems to be no bad blood between the two, Cavill will
not be a part of the new DC Universe. During his presentation, Gunn revealed
that Cavill would not be the new Superman for various reasons including the age
factor. Apart from Cavill, Ben Affleck too will not reprise his role as Batman.

As DC enters a new era under Gunn’s management, some of the major upcoming
projects include Green Lantern and Superman
