James Gunn Man of Tomorrow rumors now center on a reported rewrite. Supergirl and Blue Beetle could be removed from Man of Tomorrow, while David Corenswet is said to remain as Superman.
One report says reshoots are scheduled soon, and several cameos originally planned for the film are likely to be cut. That would narrow the project’s DCU footprint at the same time DC Studios is being reshaped under new leadership.
James Gunn and Peter Safran
James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in October 2022, then lost their jobs after the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. David Ellison let them go, and Jeremy Latcham will now run the studio.
The shift matters because the reported changes to Man of Tomorrow look less like routine trim and more like a reset. Gunn’s own recent box-office history shows why the title still carries weight: Superman collected $619 million worldwide, while Supergirl managed just $126 million.
Skydance and Man of Tomorrow
Gunn pushed back on the reshuffle by saying, “No one from Skydance has even seen the movie.” That line draws a sharp line between the finished sequel he says exists now and the version the new leadership may be steering toward.
The report’s most practical takeaway is simple: if the reshoots move ahead as described, the film’s supporting roster may be pared down before release. For a reader tracking the DCU, the immediate question is not just who stays in Man of Tomorrow, but which characters survive into the next round of projects.
David Corenswet Stays
David Corenswet reportedly remains attached as Superman, so the core of the movie appears intact even as the surrounding pieces shift. Supergirl and Blue Beetle are the names in play, and that makes the reported cut a signal about direction, not just runtime.
Whether Supergirl and Blue Beetle actually disappear from Man of Tomorrow will be the thing to watch once the reshoots begin. The reported move would leave Superman as the anchor and tell audiences exactly how far the new DC Studios regime wants to go from Gunn’s plan.
