Gunn Clarifies 'Man of Steel' Status Amidst Rumors

James Gunn has refuted widespread rumors concerning the future of the upcoming DC film 'Man of Steel.' Following his and Peter Safran's recent exit from DC Studios leadership, speculation suggested that David Ellison's Skydance would implement significant alterations to the project. Gunn took to Threads to clarify that Skydance has not even viewed the movie yet, and therefore, no major changes have occurred or are being planned by them.

Contrary to several circulating claims, Gunn stated that only a small, trusted group has seen 'Man of Steel.' Specific rumors had alleged that characters such as Milly Alcock's Supergirl and Xolo Maridueña's Blue Beetle might be removed from the final cut. Other speculation included a potential recasting of Wonder Woman and the possibility of the entire film being shifted to streaming instead of receiving a theatrical release. Gunn's statement aims to quell these immediate concerns, although the long-term plans for the franchise remain uncertain under new leadership.
