The DCU Is Reportedly In Reboot Mode, Even David Corenswet’s Superman Could Be Replaced, And I’m Just So Tired

There will be no shortage of insiders spinning tales about whose power struggle led to whose firing at Warner Bros. That’s what happens during a post-merger bloodbath. But with James Gunn and Peter Safran suddenly out, it’s hard to imagine things not getting even messier for the DCU from here on out. It’s reportedly in “reboot mode,” and even David Corenswet’s Superman could be on the chopping block.

“I’m told plans are already afoot to dismantle much of what Gunn and Safran had plotted out beyond next summer’s Gunn-directed Man of Tomorrow, the currently shooting The Batman: Part 2, and an in-the-works HBO series,” Puck‘s Matthew Belloni wrote earlier today. “So DC Goes back into reboot mode…again.”

There have been some rumors swirling about Man of Tomorrow doing poorly with test audiences and Warner Bros. being in panic mode about how much money it could lose. That’s the narrative being pushed by one alleged Skydance Media insider who is now claiming to Cosmic Book that even Corenswet could be unlikely to return as Superman in a third movie.

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I have it in me to care about Hollywood’s hunt for a potential third Son of Krypton in just a decade. I thought 2025’s Superman was pretty good. I’m interested to see how Man of Tomorrow shakes out. I’m very much not interested in seeing new DCU head Jeremy Latcham try to sketch out yet another referentially dense, Easter egg-laden take on DC comic book lore.
