Rumours about the future of an array of DC superheroes have been doing the rounds online since James Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as the new co-chiefs of DC Studios back in October.
So far, “Black Adam 2” has been shelved at DC Studios, along with Patty Jenkins’ third “Wonder Woman” film and Henry Cavill’s return as Superman.
On Monday, Gunn tweeted a thread about his plans for DC Studios amid “a period of turbulence” that requires making “difficult & not-so-obvious choices.”
But this means little to us in comparison to our jobs as artists & custodians in helping to create a wide & wonderful future for DC.
