We need to make our voices heard.

Following reports about disagreements between Skydance and James Gunn over the creative direction of Man of Tomorrow, many DC fans are concerned about the future of the DC Universe.

According to Variety, Skydance is reportedly unhappy with the direction of the film and is considering developing its own version, potentially removing many connections to the wider DC Universe.

We believe filmmakers should have the creative freedom to tell the stories they envision without unnecessary corporate interference.

James Gunn has invested his creativity, storytelling and long-term plans into building a new DC Universe. Fans deserve the opportunity to see his vision develop rather than experience another sudden change in direction.

WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR:

Rehire James Gunn to lead DC Studios again. Give him the opportunity to return as the head of DC Studios and continue building the DC Universe.
Protect Man of Tomorrow. Respect James Gunn's original creative vision and allow him to make the film he intended.
Respect creative freedom. Don't let corporate disagreements take away a filmmaker's ability to tell his story.
Give DC a consistent future. Allow the characters, stories and connected universe to develop with a clear long-term direction.
Listen to the fans. Thousands of supporters have already signed this petition because they want their voices heard.
We are not asking for studios to ignore business realities. We are asking them to recognize the importance of creative leadership, consistency and trust between filmmakers and audiences.

Our message to Skydance and Warner Bros. is simple:

Don't replace a creative vision before giving it the opportunity to grow. Rehire James Gunn to lead DC Studios, respect his vision for Man of Tomorrow, and give the DC Universe a chance to move forward.

We have already passed 15,000 signatures. Our next goals are 20,000 and 25,000!

Please sign, share and stand with DC fans. Let filmmakers tell their stories. Let creativity lead. Listen to the fans!💙
