Recent reports suggest that director James Gunn may bring back Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck to the DC Universe (DCU), albeit in different roles, signalling an intriguing twist in the ever-evolving DC film landscape.
Gunn's leadership in the DCU has been marked by significant changes and exciting new visions. After taking the helm alongside producer Peter Safran, the duo made headlines by reimagining the studio's direction, rebranding it as the DCU.
This bold move led to the removal of several familiar faces, including Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, who had been part of the previous DC timeline.
However, it appears that Gunn hasn't forgotten the talents of these two actors. According to a report from Screenrant, James Gunn is considering re-casting the old Justice League members for the DCU.
While their return is not confirmed for their previous roles, the report suggests they might take on entirely new characters within the DCU.
This development aligns with Gunn's busy schedule, which includes work on "Superman: Legacy," set to begin production in the coming spring.
Additionally, "Creatures Commando" is in the final stages of preparation, with a scheduled release date in 2024.
This hints at an exciting new era for the DCU, starting with "Chapter One: Gods And Monsters" expected to launch next year.
As fans eagerly await more details about James Gunn's vision for the revamped DCU and the potential roles for Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, it's clear that the future holds exciting changes for the beloved superhero franchise.
