After choosing to direct Suicide Squad over a Superman film in 2021

Will James Gunn Finally Take Over Henry Cavill’s Superman After Rejecting It for &#8216;Suicide Squad&#8217; Back in the Day?

Hollywood is never short on new content. Time and again, a new film or series
makes their ways to our screens. However, every once in a while a new project
releases and takes the world by storm. In 2013, that project was Man of Steel
starring Henry Cavill, directed by Zack Snyder. Henry Cavill as Superman is an
experience that comes once in a lifetime. Although the audience witnessed Cavill
as Superman in multiple films since 2013, we did not have a sequel to where it
all began, i.e., Man Of Steel 2 until now.

While Black Adam is making the headlines everywhere, it seems like DC has
something else going on too. As per latest rumors, Suicide Squad director James
Gunn is working on a secret project with the franchise. And it seems like it has
something to do with the Man of Steel. So, is James Gunn working on Man of Steel
2? Let us find out.


IS JAMES GUN WORKING ON MAN OF STEEL 2?

James Gunn is one of the most-sought after directors in the industry today. As
we all know, previously the Guardians of the Galaxy director decided to proceed
with the 2021 film Suicide Squad rather than a Superman project (it is not
confirmed if it was Man of Steel 2). However, as per recent reports, James Gunn
is working on a secret project. As per an insider source, “DC is definitely in
play.”  

However since there is no confirmation from the franchise, it is too early to
confirm whether James Gunn is working on Man of Steel 2. But with Cavill
returning to the DC Extended Universe

for a mid credit in Black Adam, there surely is a possibility.

Previously, even Black Adam producer co-producer Dany Garcia talked about
possibilities with Henry Cavill’s Superman

in the future. Apart from that, there are a few upcoming DC films lined up for
the upcoming years such as Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Aquaman and
The lost Kingdom.

Amidst all the buzz after his return in a cameo scene in Black Adam, The Witcher
actor has a few projects lined up for the forthcoming years. One of of them is
Enola Holmes 2, which will make its way to our screens later this year. Apart
from that, rumors

Cavill will also star in Lionsgate’s ‘Highlander’ Reboot.
