&#8220;The next Superman has to be&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; James Gunn Has Spilled the Beans About What He Wants From Henry Cavill’s Replacement in DCU

On the red carpet for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the new DC boss
opened up about his DC project. James Gunn recently shared his expectations for
the new Superman movie. The film is in development at Warner Bros. Fans saw
Henry Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as their recent
Superman. With Gunn’s upcoming film, Superman Legacy, the new DC boss wants a
new face for the superhero instead of the British actor. Therefore, Gunn, who
has experience directing superhero movies, expressed his take on the iconic
character.

James Gunn recently attended the premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,
where he excitement about seeing a new vision of Superman on screen. One that is
different from what audiences have seen before. He said that he hopes the new
film will bring something new and exciting to the character, rather than simply
retreading the same storylines and themes. Gunn revealed the qualities he was
looking for in the next Superman, as he would have to replace The Witcher star.

“The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has,
but he’s also an alien,” revealed Gunn to Variety
[https://variety.com/2023/film/news/james-gunn-superman-legacy-actor-1235598076/].

The Guardians of the Galaxy director said the new Superman needed to be somebody
with kindness and compassion. Additionally, he would be like somebody who you
want to give a hug. The new Superman movie is still in the early stages of
development. It does not have a director or cast attached as of yet. Warner
Bros. and DC expect the new Superman to be a major release with the potential to
kick off a new era for the character on screen.

WHO COULD PLAY SUPERMAN REPLACING HENRY CAVILL?

The studio still has not found a new face for the iconic character. But Gunn
once revealed he wanted a younger actor than Cavill. Because Superman Legacy
will mark the beginning of the DCU, Gunn probably wants someone younger to stay
with the franchise for a long time. 



Nevertheless, an ex-Superman star, Dylan Sprayberry, once expressed his wish

to star in Superman Legacy. However, James Gunn has not talked about it. But
overall, it seems James Gunn is excited about the possibilities that a new
Superman movie could bring. As a director with experience in the superhero
genre, he likely has a good sense of what makes these movies work. He seems to
know what audiences are looking for.
