DC movie fans no longer need to be worried about "studio interference", James Gunn has assured. The filmmaker has been responding to various tweets from curious cinemagoers over the last few weeks and recently, he replied to one that asked him to expand on the claim that higher-up meddling is a thing of the past. 

Addressing a fan on the social media site Mastodon, Gunn said that he has more control over the cinematic universe than Zack Snyder ever did, as he and his partner Peter Safran are "the heads of DC studios." He continued: "The position is different than it was. The only studio interference would be from us!"

Gunn and Safran seem determined to shake up the DCEU in major ways going forward, and have already confirmed that Henry Cavill won't be returning to the franchise as Superman and that there are currently no plans to develop a Black Adam sequel. Patty Jenkins is no longer attached to Wonder Woman 3, and it has also been rumored that Aquaman star Jason Momoa might be recast as DC Comics character Lobo.
