James Gunn<\/strong> simply dropped one other fact bomb about how the ‘Superman’ fiasco took place — and it seems like Henry Cavill<\/strong><\/a> was kinda getting used as a pawn … or so it appears.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Here’s the deal … the brand new co-chief of DC Studios responded to followers Sunday who inquired about an IG Story he threw up over the weekend, which touched on when precisely he’d been employed to start out engaged on new DCU flicks — together with an enormous precedence, ‘Superman: Legacy.’<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In his IG Story, Gunn clarified that whereas one movie he is in command of has already gone into pre-production — ‘Creature Commandos’ — each that film and his ‘Superman’ undertaking had truly been getting labored on quietly behind the scenes earlier than he and Peter Safran had been formally employed, which was on Oct. 25 … a day after Cavill stated he was “again<\/strong><\/a>” as Supes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He additional confirmed in follow-up tweets — noting he’d been employed to put in writing ‘Superman: Legacy’ over SIX MONTHS in the past and that his film was all the time going to be separate from Zack Snyder’s model of the character … the identical one Cavill briefly thought he was reprising.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The backside line is that this … James is saying he already had the inexperienced mild to start out charting a path for a complete new Superman storyline, nevertheless it would not seem Cavill was conscious of that.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

According to him, he was instructed by the WBD to announce he was formally returning to the position … though it now appears clear Warner had no actual intentions of pursuing that — evidenced by the hiring of Gunn\/Safran as co-bosses, and their choice to present HC the boot.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In different phrases, Cavill seems to have been getting jerked round<\/strong><\/a>. As for who’s guilty … properly, laborious to say. There’ve been so many modifications at WB over the previous 2 years — with execs coming\/going — it is not likely clear if Cavill was completely misled (and by whom). Alternatively, there would possibly’ve simply been a miscommunication that led to the confusion\/psych-out. \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

All we all know, Henry in all probability ain’t gonna be working with them once more after this. His subsequent few movies are all with completely different studios — and we do not see a water tower in his fast future.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
