James Gunn is clearing up some rumors following his exit as co-head of DC Studios.
With Skydance making changes amid the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger, Peter Safran and Gunn announced they would not be heading DC Studios.
Amid their exits, many rumors have circulated. One prominent story was that Skydance saw the Superman sequel, titled Man of Tomorrow, and planned to make some edits, but Gunn has shut down those allegations.
“There are a lot of untrue rumors going around, but one of them is that Skydance has seen Man of Tomorrow and that all sorts of sweeping changes are being made,” Gunn posted on Threads.
He continued, “No one from Skydance has even seen the movie – the only people that have are Peter Safran and a very small trusted group of friends and family. So any stories around this narrative are false.”
