DC Universe reportedly faces another reboot after Gunn and Safran exit
James Gunn and Peter Safran are reportedly out of Warner Bros.’
DC leadership, and the DC Universe may be heading for another reboot.
Plans beyond Gunn’s upcoming film *Man of Tomorrow*, *The Batman: Part 2* and a planned HBO series are reportedly at risk.
David Corenswet could lose the role of Superman, though that claim comes from an unnamed industry insider and is not confirmed.
Corenswet starred in the 2025 film *Superman*, and *Man of Tomorrow* is currently in production.
The reported changes could reshape the DC film and television slate before many of its planned projects are made.
David Ellison reportedly wants a new *Justice League* film as soon as possible, while the DCU’s new head is Jeremy Latcham.
What happens to the remaining plans is unclear, and no confirmed decision on Corenswet’s future is given.
James Gunn and Peter Safran are reportedly out, and plans for much of their DC Universe slate may be dismantled.
Puck’s Matthew Belloni reported that DC is going back into reboot mode.
David Corenswet could reportedly be replaced as Superman in a third film.
The report says projects including Man of Tomorrow, The Batman: Part 2 and an HBO series may continue.
The reasons for the reported changes have not been confirmed.

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.
So DC Goes back into reboot mode…again.
