James Gunn, co-chairman of DC Studios, addressed multiple rumors about upcoming DC films on social media in mid-October 2026. He confirmed that Milly Alcock remains cast as Supergirl and will reprise the role in the upcoming film Man of Tomorrow, contradicting online speculation that she had been dismissed from the project. Alcock had previously deleted social media posts referencing Supergirl, which fueled speculation about her departure, though Gunn clarified that her role is secure and that her dynamic with David Corenswet's Clark Kent will feature in the new movie.

Gunn also refuted claims that Matt Reeves had left The Batman Part 2, stating that Reeves remains involved as director. Additionally, he dismissed reports that Man of Tomorrow had received negative test screening feedback, calling such rumors "couldn't be more false." He noted that he plans to show an early version of the film to DC Studios partner Peter Safran later that month, a timeline he described as "a month early."

The statements come amid broader industry speculation about the direction of the DC Universe following the mixed reception to recent releases like Supergirl and The Flash. While Gunn emphasized that he is increasingly reluctant to engage with online speculation, he indicated a willingness to share updates when appropriate. He previously debunked rumors about casting choices, including speculation that Jenson Ackles would portray Batman in the DCU.

For audiences tracking developments in the DC Studios slate, Gunn's public clarifications offer a rare direct response to persistent rumors. As production timelines shift and fan expectations evolve, his involvement continues to shape the public narrative around upcoming releases.
