With the power struggle among Warner Bros. executives and debates over who caused whose dismissal, various internal leaks are sure to emerge. This is common after major corporate mergers. However, with James Gunn and Peter Safran suddenly departing, it's hard to imagine the DC Universe (DCU) won't become even more chaotic. Reports suggest the DCU has once again entered "reboot mode," and even David Corenswet's Superman may face recasting.
Matthew Belloni of Puck wrote earlier today: "As far as I know, Warner Bros. has already begun overturning most of the plans previously established by Gunn and Safran. Projects still expected to remain include Superman: Man of Tomorrow, directed by Gunn and scheduled for release next summer; The Batman Part II, currently in production; and an HBO series in development. In other words, DC is entering reboot mode again... This isn't the first time."
There have been rumors that Superman: Man of Tomorrow received poor test screening responses, causing Warner Bros. to worry about potential massive losses. This claim mainly comes from a leaker claiming to be an insider at Skydance Media. Now, this person has revealed to Cosmic Book that David Corenswet might not even continue playing Superman in a third film.
But now it seems Everythinggj is back to square one. According to reports, David Ellison wants to release a brand-new Justice League movie as soon as possible. The HBO series Lanterns reportedly failed to generate enough social buzz and will not be renewed for a second season. Perhaps Barry Weiss could even attempt to re-edit a new version of the Justice League Director's Cut.
