James Gunn Debunks Supergirl & The Batman Part II Rumors After DCU Fans Sound the Alarm

James Gunn has responded to multiple rumors about upcoming DC movies, addressing concerns raised by DCU fans online. He rejected several claims involving The Batman Part II, Supergirl, and Man of Tomorrow on Threads.

The rumors suggested that Matt Reeves was no longer directing The Batman Part II and that Milly Alcock had been fired from Supergirl. Another claim alleged that Man of Tomorrow received a poor test screening because its ending featured the death of a popular DC hero.

James Gunn pushes back against false Batman II & Supergirl claims

James Gunn responded to a social media user frustrated by misleading DC headlines. Gunn urged fans to stop believing unverified claims and explained why he rarely responds to online rumors. He also shared an update on his upcoming project.

The DC Studios CEO said, “Oh brother. You guys just have to stop listening to BS, and I’m mostly done shooting down rumors as there are so many, and I’m not on here much. But all three of these couldn’t be more false. I’m showing PETER SAFRAN my first Director’s Cut today – he’s the first person to see it obviously – and that’s a month early.”

The rumor about The Batman Part II gained attention after Steven Soderbergh stepped in to help finish principal photography while Matt Reeves dealt with a family matter. Reeves later clarified on X that he wasn’t leaving the sequel and thanked Soderbergh for helping him finish filming. His statement addressed concerns about his continued involvement in the movie.

Meanwhile, speculation about Alcock’s future as Supergirl followed changes to her Instagram profile. Fans noticed that several posts related to the role had disappeared, prompting questions about whether she had been dropped from the DC Universe. However, the changes did not confirm a casting decision, and Gunn rejected the firing claim.

Gunn also dismissed the alleged Man of Tomorrow test-screening report. He didn’t share plot details or confirm whether the rumored ending involved a DC hero’s death. Instead, his response made it clear that the test-screening claim was false.
