In 2022, a tweet surfaced, hinting at DC&#8217;s quest for a new Superman. Several years later, <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/">Henry Cavill</a> made a triumphant return as the iconic superhero, only to face the disappointment of being dropped once again after reprising the role. This unexpected turn of events ignited a passionate fury among devoted Cavill fans. The backlash was so intense that it even reverberated onto James Gunn.
The ongoing debate over preferential treatment in Gunn&#8217;s castings resurfaced with a tweet from Matt Ramos. It addressed the rumor about the revival of Wonder Woman 3, with Gal Gadot set to reprise her role, potentially as a reboot to align it with the DCU. However, Ramos raised a thought-provoking question: if such adjustments can be made for Gadot&#8217;s return, why not afford the same opportunity to Cavill?
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
I’m going to wait to hear it from James Gunn himself but if Wonder Woman 3 is happening &amp; it’s going to be a soft reboot with Gal Gadot to fit the DCU, why couldn’t the same have been done for Cavill? 
This universe needed a full restart once Henry was let go.

Ramos&#8217; thought-provoking statement resonated deeply with fans of the DC Universe. It ignited a lingering question about the need for a reboot after Cavill&#8217;s departure. His words struck a chord, sparking intense discussions.

As discussions continued to swirl around Gunn&#8217;s casting choices, a user astutely observed the pattern of Superman and Batman being affected alike. They intriguingly proposed that in Ben Affleck&#8217;s portrayal of Batman, a simple retcon could have woven a fascinating storyline involving Batman&#8217;s son.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Also Ben Affleck’s Batman having a son would have worked extremely well, it would have been an easy retcon.
Man just wasted the greatest incarnations of Superman &amp; Batman

A wave of frustration swept through some as they couldn&#8217;t contain their outbursts about Gunn&#8217;s perceived preferential treatment. Fans voiced their discontent with how he seemed to solely focus on his vision rather than considering the desires and expectations of the audience.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Why is this happening? Because of preferencial treatment.
This is about what Gunn wants, not the fans. This was clear from day 1.

Stop supporting <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesGunn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JamesGunn</a> supes he did us dirty. We were all happy about Cavil coming back and he just got rid of him out of jealousy. Gunn is a joke.

While acknowledging Gadot&#8217;s greatness, one user fervently expressed the longing of fans for the cherished elements from the old universe. Their sentiment was a heartfelt plea, as they found themselves unable to move past <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-thats-kinda-fuced-honestly-internet-left-grief-stricken-as-henry-cavill-piles-up-another-bad-news-superman-return-shunned-after-the-witcher-exit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cavill&#8217;s departure from Gunn&#8217;s Superman: Legacy.</a>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
100%. I adore Gal but it’s really tough to start over and feel fresh and excited when we’re still needing context from an old universe with Cavill’s Superman, Affleck’s Batman, etc.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As the debate ensued, other loyal Gunn fans emerged to show their unwavering support. They contended that while they appreciate Cavill&#8217;s portrayal, his age might not align with the vision of a youthful Superman that Gunn is aiming to portray.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
He&#39;s already said why. Are you going to pretend that he hasn&#39;t? He&#39;s telling a story that involves a younger Superman.

Why don&#39;t you guys just get it??
Man literally said Cavill doesn&#39;t fit his Superman.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
There were some who remained unimpressed with the idea of a reboot amidst the passionate debates within the DCU fandom. To them, the DCU seemed like a chaotic maze, one they believed Gunn had inadvertently contributed to.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Even if this is true or not it just goes to show how much of a mess DC is right now. Love James Gunn but I’m not really sure he knows what he’s doing here.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Not soft reeboot, the softesttttt reboot ever.. Why give this whole build up of rebranding it to DCU when it’s just superman and batman that are going to be recasted. SS , peacemaker , gal gadot, Jason Momoa all are staying back. How is this even a reboot.
&mdash; Chaith (@Geminine123) <a href="https://twitter.com/Geminine123/status/1686841869639331840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 2, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Despite Gunn&#8217;s clear intent to pursue a younger Superman, the unwavering devotion of Cavill&#8217;s fans remains steadfast, unwilling to let go of the actor&#8217;s memorable portrayals as the iconic superhero.
