James Gunn Gives Massive Update On Henry Cavill's 'Superman' Comeback

Los Angeles, December 11 - The fans of Superman, the iconic DC superhero character, have been on an emotional rollercoaster of epic proportions over the last few weeks.

It has been five years since Henry Cavill's Superman was last seen on the big screen in a full-fledged role. It was recently when Henry Cavill announced via social media that he would be returning as Kal-El and even made a theater-shaking mid-credits appearance in Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam".

The DC Universe, however, is going through a transition period in which the top Warner Bros. Discovery brass is taking some harsh decisions to shape up DC's future for the next 8-10 years. The studio also appointed filmmaker James Gunn as co-head of DC Studio and things are already heating up under his leadership.

While Cavill announced "Man of Steal 2", earlier this week, reports surfaced that suggested Cavill's highly-anticipated sequel could be on the chopping block alongside a slate of other DC projects. This came as a big shock to the fans and they keep asking Gunn to clear things about the future of Superman.

It has been alleged that James Gunn does not want Cavill's superman return, however, the filmmaker has himself clarified things and confirmed that Superman is DC's one of biggest priorities. Amid the cancellation rumours, a fan on Twitter asked Gunn "if we're gonna see Superman", to which the filmmaker responded, "Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority".
