  "account": "James Gunn has dismissed rumors that Milly Alcock was fired from her role as Supergirl and confirmed that he will share an early cut of Man of Tomorrow with Peter Safran later today. The DC Studios co-chairman posted on Threads on October 16 to dispel various internet rumors about his comic book movie projects, though he admitted that it was tiresome. He addressed the false reports that Matt Reeves had left The Batman Part 2, the claim that Milly Alcock had been removed from Supergirl, and another rumor about the film receiving poor reviews. Alcock had deleted all posts related to Supergirl, including her announcement, but some photos and Reels were still publicly visible. Gunn clarified that this did not mean she was leaving the DC Universe, as she had originally appeared in Superman and reprised her role in Supergirl. He also teased that Alcock would return as Kara in the Superman sequel, set to premiere in July 2027. Regarding Man of Tomorrow, Gunn had previously indicated that the film had been well-received, and he was planning to show Safran a director's cut a month earlier than expected, which he described as \"obviously\" the first version he would see.",
