After denying Henry Cavill as Superman, James Gunn reportedly planning new movie with this character from Zack Snyder&#039;s &#039;Justice League&#039;

Henry Cavill Out, but This Hero From DC’s Trinity Still in James Gunn’s Plan for the Reboot

The DC Universe is in the news for its changes and shocking twists. Fans have
witnessed everything from director swaps to reshoots and now complete reboots.
In a surprising turn of events, two beloved members of the original Justice
League, Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as Superman
and Ben Affleck as Batman, will no longer be part of the upcoming projects.
However, one of the original trinity, from Zack Snyder’s vision, is to return as
James Gunn plans his slate reboot.

While DCU fans were crushed after Cavill’s exit, Justice League lovers may have
something in store for you.


THIS JUSTICE LEAGUE CHARACTER MAY REMAIN IN THE NEW DCU

Since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as the new DC bosses, everything
changed. Henry Cavill was supposed to reprise his role as Superman in an
upcoming

Man of Steel sequel after his cameo in Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam. However, in
the last round of talks, James Gunn stood firm on developing his vision with
Superman: Legacy.

However, as per the original DCEU vision by Zack Snyder, the trio of Ben
Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot starred together in the mixed bag of Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, even though Gunn has done away with the first
two actors, Gadot is reportedly returning for a sequel reboot to her last Wonder
Woman: 1984.

Talking to ComicBook
[https://comicbook.com/movies/news/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-3-james-gunn-peter-safran-dc-films/],
Gadot revealed that “From what I heard from James and from Peter is that we’re
gonna develop a Wonder Woman 3 together.“ It is safe to assume that James Gunn
is potentially still keeping the Gal Gadot card to play later. The actress made
her solo DC debut Wonder Woman with Patty Jenkins, who had confirmed that a
threequel is no longer in the works.

Gunn returning with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is doing nothing more than
confusing fans with the upcoming DC lineup. Only time will tell how clear his
plans are.


HOW JAMES GUNN IS SHAKING AND SHAPING UP THE NEW DC UNIVERSE SANS HENRY CAVILL

James Gunn, the filmmaker has directed DC projects The Suicide Squad and the
anticipated Peacemaker series. However, after teaming up with Peter Safran,
co-CEO of DC Studios, Gunn unveiled a new slate: ten new movies and shows that
will showcase a diverse range of beloved and lesser-known characters from DC
comics. Along with his Superman: Legacy set to release in two years, a Supergirl
and Swamp Thing movie is in the works as well. And now we may have a potential
Wonder Woman reboot.



However, the current DC slate is confusing for fans to follow. The
soon-to-be-released Blue Beetle is expected to start the new slate, but again,
news of returning characters seems to counter the ‘new slate’ theory. The
recently released The Flash movie paid its tributes and reset the DC timeline to
allow Gunn’s projects to go through. But replacing beloved actors like Henry
Cavill and Ben Affleck has already left a sour taste in fans’ mouths.
