The Suꦬperman direc🦋tor is prepping material for auditions, nothing more

Stop me 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查⛄询:if you’ve heard this෴ one before: writer-director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn has taken to Twitter to debunk more casting rumors for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Superman: Legacy.
In response to a report ♔that DC Studios could be "close" to casting Clark Kent, Gunn , "Not true. Haven’t had a singl💝e talk with a single actor about the role. Just making private lists, prepping material for auditions."
In a follow-up tweet, he𒉰 replied to speculation from YouTuber Grace Randolph that Percy Jackson actor Logan Lerman was "top choice" to play Superman with "For the record, I don’t know w♉ho that is."
Later, he clarified his comments: “Guys, this isn’t a dig at the actor. I don’t know lots of actors’ names. Now that you tell me who he is, I recognize him from stuff and think 🅷he’s talented. But I’ve never met him, and he’s never been part of a conversation about playing Superman.”
Superman: Legacy, written and directed by Gunn, is set to release on July 11, 2025. It’s set to be one of the leading lights in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe as part of Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran’s Chapter One, titled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gods and Monsters.
Gunn, meanwhile, is set to bring his stint in the MCU to a close with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in May. Speaking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film in its new issu𒉰e – out t♌oday – he revealed why he felt so strongly about coming back for the threequel.
"T𒀰he most important thing for me was Rocket's story, and then, following that, everybody else. Rocket is the secret protagonist of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and has always been the centre of it for me; and this is really fulfilling that. The reason I came back, and decided to do this movie, was because I really felt like Rocket's story needed to be told – and it was left hanging after Vol 2. So that's the most important thing."
