Yesterday, Variety published a piece about what plans DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have for the DCU‘s immediate future. But this morning, Gunn took to Twitter to dismiss some of the publication’s claims, including the future of Wonder Woman and Ezra Miller staying on as The Flash.
James Gunn Responds To “Disrespectful Outcry” From Fans Over DC Changes
20.12.2022 - 01:57 / deadline.com
DC studios co-CEO James Gunn has long engaged with fans on Twitter, both as director of movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy and in his new executive capacity at Warner Bros. Discovery. But some of his recent replies have taken a sharper tone since fans began reacting to the news that Patty Jenkins’ plan for Wonder Woman 3 was not moving forward and, more stridently, the revelation that Henry Cavill would not be returning as Superman.
“One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least,” Gunn wrote this afternoon on Twitter. “No one loves to be harassed or called names – but, to be frank, we’ve been through significantly worse. Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions.”
Gunn also repeated that his decisions with DC co-CEO James Safran have been all about serving the story which, in the case of the next Superman movie, Gunn himself is writing.
“Our choices for the DCU are based upon what we believe is best for the story & best for the DC characters who have been around for nearly 85 years. Perhaps these choices are great, perhaps not, but they are made with sincere hearts & integrity & always with the story in mind.”
