James Gunn revealed the difficult conversation he had with Henry Cavill about the latter not returning as Superman. The announcement of Cavill's return, made before Gunn and Safran's deal closed at DC Studios, conflicted with their plans for a new Superman film starring David Corenswet. Gunn described the situation as unfortunate but stated Cavill handled it with grace. Despite the recast, Gunn expressed interest in working with Cavill again on a different DC project.
