As the public and the press wonder who will play the next Superman, James Gunn denies a new casting rumor.
Rumors about upcoming DC movies are rife, rumors that James Gunn either confirms or denies one by one. This time, as ComingSoon reports, the co-CEO of DC Studios shut down a rumor that an actor had been cast to play the next Superman.
Responding to a tweet from Super Film News that Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi would be the new Superman, James Gunn said no one has been cast in the role yet and that won’t happen until the script is complete. completed or nearly completed. Also, while he has things to announce in the near future, the new face of Superman won’t be among them.
“My thoughts are that no one has been cast as Superman yet. Casting, as is almost always the case with me, will happen after the script is done or nearly done, and it’s not. We’ll be announcing things shortly, but Superman’s cast won’t be part of it.”
James Gunn continues to make headlines since announcing that Henry Cavill will no longer be Superman and that he will write an all-new movie about the legendary superhero. And surprising news such as the removal of several notable The Flash cameos and the halting of development on Wonder Woman 3 have since followed one another. Other rumors also say that Jason Momoa will no longer play Aquaman and that he will subsequently play another character from the same universe. Anyway, there is no doubt that other surprises are to come.
Among the certainties of 2023 however, we know that the next DC Universe film will be Shazam! The Rage of the Gods which will be released on March 29. It will be followed by The Flash on June 14, Blue Beetle on August 16, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom on December 20. The sequel, now in the hands of James Gunn and Peter Safran, remains a mystery.
