"If an actor can't continue a role I'll change the actor no problem," said Gunn via Instagram Threads. The answer was in response to a fan asking, "If an actor can no longer play a character within the DCU, is there a possibility of changing the actor or will the character be discarded?"

James Gunn isn’t loooking to overcomplicate things when it comes to casting in the DC Universe. The DC Studios co-CEO made it clear that if an actor can’t stick with a role, he’ll simply find someone else to carry the mantle.

Don’t call it Superman 2! James Gunn, the writer-director of this summer’s Superman, has been teasing some sort of follow-up to the first film in the new DC Universe that has grossed nearly $600 million globally since July.
