James Gunn Responds To Scathing Man of Tomorrow Rumors Following DC Studios Exit
James Gunn says not to believe rumors about the quality of Man of Tomorrow, as not many people have seen the former DC Studios head's next film yet
Skydance's decision to replace DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran with Jeremy Latcham earlier this week has led to a flurry of rumors and reports. On November 13, James Gunn addressed some of these claims on social media, specifically those regarding the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow. Gunn confirmed he would stay on to finish the film, but later reports from Variety and Cosmic Book News suggested that Skydance's Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein were unhappy with aspects of the movie.
Gunn clarified on November 13 that no one from Skydance had seen the film; only Peter Safran and a small group of trusted individuals had seen it. He stated that any rumors suggesting otherwise were false. Although no public statement from Skydance on these particular rumors has been made, the anonymous sources making these claims appear to favor Skydance.
Man of Tomorrow had reached the assembly cut stage of post-production last month, meaning only a limited number of people had seen it. Gunn is known for his active and transparent approach to addressing DCU rumors on social media, and it seems he will continue this practice despite no longer being in charge of DC Studios. Jeremy Latcham is set to take over as DC Studios head on December 1, with Man of Tomorrow scheduled for a theatrical release on July 9, 2027. The future of the DCU, as envisioned by James Gunn, remains uncertain.
