Unfortunately, despite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s relentless hyping up for the Man of Steel’s return in the DC, as well as Henry Cavill taking to Instagram about his reprising of the role, Man of Steel 2 has been reportedly scrapped. At least, in the case of ever seeing Henry Cavill back on screen again sporting the cape.

In a recent Q and A thread on Twitter, insistent fans keep asking more details on the future of the DCU, but most especially involving how Gunn is “doing another origin story that no one wants.” To that, the DC Studios head had only one thing to say. Check out his tweeted reply below:
