James Gunn sets the record straight on rumors surrounding the future of The man of tomorrow following the announcement that he and Peter Safran will step down from their executive roles at DC Studios.
Following this announcement, rumors circulated that Skydance was considering making changes to The man of tomorrowincluding potentially removing some characters and making significant changes to the film. Gunn took to Threads to respond to the claims, denying that Skydance has even seen the film.
“There are a lot of false rumors floating around, but one of them is that Skydance saw The man of tomorrow and that all sorts of radical changes are afoot,” he wrote. “No one from Skydance has even seen the movie – the only people who have seen it are Peter Safran and a very small, trusted group of friends and family. So all the stories surrounding this narrative are false.
The man of tomorrowthe sequel to 2025 Supermanstars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult, Lars Eidinger, Rachel Brosnahan, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi and Adria Arjona. Principal photography wrapped in August and the film is scheduled to hit theaters on July 9.
Earlier this week, Gisondo, who also reprises his role as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen in HBO Max The People Against Gorilla Groddshared his reaction to the change in direction with The Hollywood Reporter.
“It’s really sad to see them go. They really changed our lives. I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity they gave me,” he said.
When asked about the future of his DC projects, he added: “I think there’s still a lot I don’t know.”
Both The man of tomorrow And The People Against Gorilla Grodd are in post-production, the latter having finished filming in October. Gunn was also working on a third Superman film before the change of direction. Former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham is set to take over as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios on December 1.
