James Gunn has denied that DC has cast anyone as Superman following Henry Cavill's exit.
It's fair to say it's been one intense ride for lovers of the DC universe over the last couple of months and it looks like the rollercoaster isn't over yet. In what has been a very stressful period, audiences went from the ultimate high of Henry Cavill's return as Superman in the final moments of Black Adam, to Cavill announcing a formal revival for Kal-El, to then finding out Cavill would not be returning after all in a shocking turn of events.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Responding to a tweet that showcased a photoshopped image of Elordi's head on Cavill's signature Superman costume, Gunn wrote: "My thoughts are no one has been cast as Superman yet. Casting, as is almost always the case with me, will happen after the script is finished or close to finished, and it isn’t. We’ll announce a few things in not too long, but the casting of Superman won’t be one of them.
Interestingly, Gunn also added an emoji of a merman to the end of his Superman tweet which presumably is a nod to Aquaman. Given the widespread speculation talk that lead star Jason Momoa may not return for a sequel, it looks like more clarity will be coming on what happens next, whether that is a recasting, axing of the film or a long-awaited sequel.
Hopefully, we'll get answers to all of those very soon. Stay tuned at Collider for updates. You can check out Gunn's tweet below.
