James Gunn debunks Superman recasting conspiracy theory

Some DC fans had accused the director of lying about Cavill's Superman exit, claiming he knew the superhero would be recast back when he was promoting The Suicide Squad in 2021. To bolster their argument, the fans shared a quote from actor Nathan Fillion, who said he found out he would be playing Guy Gardner/ The Green Lantern in Gunn's upcoming Superman movie at the premiere party for The Suicide Squad. This led them to allege that Gunn knew he would become the new DC boss and phase out Cavill's Superman back then.
