Gunn Denies Skydance Saw Superman Film

James Gunn has moved to dispel several rumors following his recent exit as co-head of DC Studios. Amidst changes at Skydance and the potential Warner Bros. merger, Gunn and Peter Safran stepped down from their leadership roles. Contrary to widespread speculation, Gunn explicitly denied that Skydance had viewed the forthcoming Superman sequel, "Man of Tomorrow."

In a statement posted on Threads, Gunn clarified that "no one from Skydance has even seen the movie." He noted that the only individuals who have seen it are his partner Peter Safran and a very small group of trusted friends and family, labeling all other narratives as false. Principal photography for "Man of Tomorrow" concluded in August, a milestone Gunn celebrated with gratitude towards his cast and crew.

"Man of Tomorrow" is scheduled for release on July 9, 2027. The film features David Corenswet in the titular role of Clark Kent. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and many others. Additionally, Aaron Pierre, who plays John Stewart in "Lanterns," and Xolo Maridueña, reprising his "Blue Beetle" role, are also part of the film's extensive cast.
