They say the age of the movie star is dead. Tom Cruise proved that to be false with Top Gun: Maverick. Movie stars can possess star power.

You now have a Gunn of your own, but yours is shooting you in the foot, & the bottom line.

Mr. Cavill is Superman and can generate an actual net increase to your brand worth $1B+ if you allow him to. James Gunn cannot. What we wish to see of Superman is the same we wish to see of Batman; him in his prime, not Smallville 2.0 for more modern audiences.

Superman is a beacon of truth, justice, & hope. Hope like that which, under your company's direction & thereby yours, was ignited in the DC fanbase when you had Mr. Cavill announce his return just two short months ago.

Treating your talent & (now previously)paying customers this way is almost as bad as disrespecting canon.

The solution is quite simple: a connected, stand alone trilogy deal with Mr. Cavill as Kent/Superman. I can point you to dozens of lore knowledge rich individuals who would shatter, not subvert, your expectations in the writing room, & if you're looking for a director who will absolutely deliver for EVERYONE, I recommend one Mr. Steve Barron, director of the 1990 TMNT film which still delivers to this day & assisted the late, great Richard Donner on the set of 1978 Superman.

I don't know what the beef or blacklist in Hollywood looks like, & frankly you shouldn't care. Find the best people for the job & deliver a production that is exceptional & worth paying movie ticket prices for, for your customers so it can in turn be profitable for you.

We WILL vote with our wallets.
