DC Fans have made their voice known with a new petition with nearly 100k signs, demanding the reinstatement of James Gunn and Peter Safran. The sudden leadership shakeup that led to the exit of Gunn and Safran has taken the entertainment world by storm. The two had just begun to build the new rebooted DC universe with Superman, Supergirl, and more exciting plans for Batman.

While there is a massive cloud of uncertainty over the beloved DC characters and productions such as Peacemaker and Lanterns, DC fans have begun to voice their opinion in a petition asking Skydance and Warner Bros. to reconsider the decision of leadership change.

Following the takeover by the newly merged Warner Bros.-Paramount-Skydance company, James Gunn and Peter Safran were fired. This decision comes nearly four years after the two were appointed by the company in 2022. Soon, the DC fans, who are not fond with the current shakeup, have expressed their opinions through a new petition on ChangeOrg. asking for the reinstatement of Gunn and Safran.

As of now, the petition has already reached 100K signatures. The petition, started by DC fans, pointed out that Gunn and Safran introduced new storylines for characters such as Superman, which was featured in the 2025 movie and will be further developed in Man of Tomorrow in 2027. The two have also brought several new DC projects to the screen, including Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns, and Clayface.

The fans pointed out that the future of these shows and characters remains uncertain. It claimed that the two should not be dismissed over the initial setbacks such as the Supergirl disappointment. The petition called for Gunn and Safran to be given a chance to continue developing these characters and storylines.

His exit has also raised questions about Superman and whether this could bring Henry Cavill back to the DC universe. The actor recently weighed in on the possibility.

Henry Cavill, in his interview with Inverse, was asked about the recent shake-up in leadership at DC Studios with the exit of James Gunn and Peter Safran. The actor was asked whether he could return as Superman. Although there is no such update, the actor shared that he would not lose out on such an opportunity.

"Look, there's lots of fantastic storylines. There's always a lot of opportunity... I would never say never now,” he said.

He played the role of Superman across five films. In 2025, he was replaced by David Cornswet to play the role and will appear in Man of Tomorrow. Now, whether fans’ request for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reinstatement is accepted or whether new leadership shakes things up again remains to be seen.
