James Gunn might be scrapping the current DC Universe
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn and Peter Safran are planning a new era of DCEU. It is revealed that they might be starting things with a clean slate. Since they have canceled Wonder Woman 3, and it won’t be moving forward. So all the Gal Gadot fans will not see Princess Diana saving lives and venturing the world.
This reboot has also brought clouds of shadow on other popular characters played by beloved actors like Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa. Since the Man of Steel star has recently been seen in Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, fans are not ready to say goodbye to him or the antihero who left fans enamored recently.
Now fans have started a war against the Guardians of the Galaxy director on Twitter, asking for his removal. One post stated “Henry Cavill’s return as #Superman in the DCU could already be dead” as they are rebooting the universe.

He was the wrong person to do a Suicide Squad movie, he was the wrong person to head DC Studios.
And his so called plan is going to tank one of the most valuable IPs in the world in favor of farts, dick jokes, and D list characters.
