James Gunn squashes rumors that Skydance is tinkering with Man Of Tomorrow

“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 wrote. “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.”

The rumor that Man Of Tomorrow may be Whedoned, à la Zack Snyder’s Justice League, is bewildering, given that Gunn remains on board as director as the film completes post-production. (Gunn has even said he’s working on a new project for the studio after Tomorrow.) It makes one wonder where people come up with this stuff—whether it’s somehow-still-salty Snyder fans angling to reinstate Henry Cavill as Superman by engaging in online smears, or a mass delusion brought on by endless fandom scrolling. Either way, it’s important to remember that when it comes to updates on DC Studios, the only source worth putting stock in is Gunn himself—at least until the incoming DC honcho, Jeremy Latcham, takes the helm in December.
