James Gunn reveals why he turned down Superman movie for DC’s The Suicide Squad

Filmmaker James Gunn is making some revelations regarding DC Universe. Gunn, who is currently working on the reboot of DC's The Suicide Squad, admitted that he was offered some kind of Superman movie before but he turned it down to direct another DC project.

During an Instagram Q&A with fans, a fan asked, “Would you accept The Man of Steel if it were offered to you? Plus has it been offered?” The filmmaker responded: “As has been reported many times, DC offered me whatever film I wanted to do, including some sort of Superman movie (not specifically Man of Steel 2 as I’ve seen reported). I chose The Suicide Squad because it’s one of my favorite properties in the world. It’s the story I wanted to tell more than any other.”

James Gunn has two projects in the pipeline - Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 and DC's The Suicide Squad. The DC film is a reboot of  2016’s Suicide Squad with Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney and Viola Davis reprising their roles. The new cast includes Idris Elba, John Cena, Nathan Fillion, and Peter Capaldi and it is scheduled to release on August 6, 2021.
