James Gunn Says ‘No One From Skydance’ Has Seen ‘Superman’ Sequel ‘Man of Tomorrow’ as Rumors Fly After His DC Studios Exit
Key Points:
- James Gunn denied rumors that his exit from DC Studios was related to concerns over the quality of the upcoming "Superman" sequel "Man of Tomorrow," stating that Skydance executives have not even seen the film.
- The rumors suggested that Skydance might release "Man of Tomorrow" directly to HBO Max amid a new DC Universe overhaul under president Jeremy Latcham, but Gunn confirmed these claims are false.
- Gunn and Peter Safran's departures from DC Studios were announced on November 9, surprising many as they were recently named part of Skydance's leadership after the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
- Gunn expressed that his time at DC Studios was challenging and that he grew weary of the corporate nature of the job, though he remains engaged in another DC project and is involved in post-production of "Man of Tomorrow."
- "Man of Tomorrow" is scheduled for release on July 9, 2027, and Gunn's tenure at DC included overseeing films like "Superman," "Supergirl," and "Clayface," as well as TV series such as "Creature Commandos" and "Lanterns."
