James Gunn's Superman Movie Confirmed to Include 'Major Characters'

Yesterday brought bittersweet news for DC fans as it was confirmed that a brand new Superman movie was in the works at DC with James Gunn already writing the script, the unfortunate side being that Henry Cavill wouldn't be reprising the role. According to The Suicide Squad filmmaker, the new Superman film, one of the first movies that is being developed by his newly formed DC Studios, is"focusing on an earlier part of Superman's life.

Responding to fan questions online, Gunn noted that he's"definitely not doing an origin story" and that in the new Superman movie the character is"not meeting the major characters for the first time, either. He's merely younger." With the tease of"major characters" many fans are wondering if that refers to his fellow Justice League members like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, or his Daily Planet cohorts like Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen.

"Peter & I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn't be more over-the-moon about; we'll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year," Gunn tweeted last night."Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman's life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.

0commentsEver since Gunn and his collaborator Peter Safran came aboard at DC the main talk of the town has been how the pair are formulating a 10 Year Plan for the DCU, including interconnected movies, tv shows, and even video games, that will tell a large scale story akin to Marvel Studios' Infinity Saga. One of the biggest questions is what pieces from the previous DCEU they intend to keep on the big screen.

Who cares? Feel very sorry for any actor attached to this abomination

No Henry so who cares ?
