Following the release of Superman, up next from the DCU on the big screen is the Supergirl movie.

What does James Gunn say about the rumors?

Recent rumors claim that Gunn has cut around 25 minutes of the movie. Rumors claim the flick underwent a course correction as Gunn, DC co-head Peter Safran, and WBD CEO David Zaslav were said to be “scrutinizing” the final cut.

However, Gunn fires back at those claims and replies, “Zero truth to that. And they couldn’t even if that’s something that they wanted to. It’s a DC Studios film.”
