Since taking over as co-heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran have made quite a few difficult decisions about the future of the DC Universe, and some (most?) of them have not gone over very well with the fanbase... to say the least.

While many do understand the need to shake things up and take the DCU in a new direction, a full reboot is not what anyone expected, and dropping Henry Cavill as Superman, in particular, has come in for a lot of backlash - especially as the actor only recently announced his return as the Man of Steel following his appearance in Black Adam.

Gunn has now taken to Twitter to respond to the negative comments (and outright abuse) he's received over the past week or so.

The filmmaker also debunked a recent rumor that he and Safran are planning to recast every DC character aside from the members of Task Force X we saw The Suicide Squad.

We're not sure if he means The Suicide Squad will also be recast, or that there will be some actors from the previous DCEU era that will stay on in their roles, but based on what we've heard, we're leaning towards the former.

Gunn and Safran are reportedly set to present their "bible" to Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav this week, so a full announcement outlining their plans might well be imminent.

Bet your ass he better not be thin-skinned considering all the disgusting shit he used to write in the past.

All i'm asking him is to not be a f*cking hypocrite.

I want a COMPLETE reboot, i want him to cut ties with the Snyderverse.
MF ditched Henry Cavill, then i don't want to see ONE single mf actor represing his/her old ass role.

Can't even rely on Snyder haters to properly hate Snyder and everything related to him.


Truly, y'all are f*cking worthless.

@Doomsday8888 - The other actors have something Cavill doesn't, even if I don't agree with it.

@Doomsday8888 - At this point, I would go for full reboot. I want better connected stories than the mess which was created and have lots of continuity issues... Get a fool proof plan and execute with heart and conviction, People will trust the product and clamour for more...

@Doomsday8888 - As a fan of the "Snyderverse", and Henry's and Ben's Superman and Batman respectively, I agree. Reboot the whole entire thing 100% or not at all.

I AM quite passionate and quite upset with what happened with Cavill, yes.

A Lifelong Mistake.

Maybe i am ready to move on but i need a full reboot for that.
