In one Instagram Story, Grillo wrote, “Nothing but love. Wrapped!!” while tagging James Gunn.

In another, he added, “Always sad and happy when a special one ends for me. But I leave with love and gratitude deep in my soul,” tagging Gunn, producer Lars Winther, the Superman account, and DC.

Grillo also said in the video that it was his last day on Man of Tomorrow for James Gunn, adding, “I love love” Gunn and everyone involved.

He called his time in the DC universe “like nothing else” and said, “I think the movie’s going to be f—ing dynamite.”

“I’ve been here now in this DC universe for quite some time,” he said. “It’s like nothing else. And, I am sad to go, but I’m happy to go. I had a great time. I think the movie’s going to be f-cking dynamite, and everybody is great. So more to come.”
