James Gunn, director of the Superman movie and a key creative leader at DC Studios, reflects on the challenges faced on the road to success in the new cinematic universe. Gunn recalls an unfortunate situation where he was already working on a new version of Superman without Henry Cavill, only to learn that Cavill was returning as the iconic character in Black Adam. Despite the complications and fan expectations, Gunn admires Cavill’s professionalism and would welcome him back to the DC Studios universe if he chooses to return.
