James Gunn Kills Rumor Involving Henry Cavill’s DCU Future
Last night, DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn jumped on Twitter to debunk the most recent Henry Cavill DC casting rumor.
The rumor being referred to claimed that former Superman actor Henry Cavill was approached to play Frankenstein in the upcoming series. When asked about how true the rumor was, Gunn was quick to shut it down, stating it’s “completely false” and that DC already has the actor for Frankenstein set.
Completely false. We have our Frankenstein – our first choice – & it’s not Henry. Was never discussed with him. <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/CreatureCommandos?src=hash&ref_src=» https:>#CreatureCommandos

He then explained that DC has discussed other roles with Cavill — just not that of Frankenstein.
Its on various news sites & I was asked about it. You might consider that this bile you think comes off in my post has more to do with your framing than what I’m actually saying. I’ve said in the past we’ve discussed other roles with Henry – just Frankenstein is not one of them.
