DC boss reacts to 'Supergirl' global box office flop - Entertainment Weekly

James Gunn has shot down rumors that Milly Alcock was fired as Supergirl and confirmed that he'll show Peter Safran an early cut of Man of Tomorrow later today. The DC Studios co-chairman took to Threads on October 16 to dispel rumors surrounding his comic book movie projects. Although he's found putting a lid on the endless flow of internet rumors to be a little tiring, there were a few he wanted to take aim at when replying to a fan on Twitter/X. First and foremost was the rumor that director Matt Reeves had completely departed The Batman Part 2 as director. Just about everyone now confirmed to be involved in the Elseworlds sequel had already clarified that Reeves would remain involved, so his denial is no surprise here. Another more recent rumor had some fans saying the star of Supergirl was let go, but that one's not true, either. Milly Alcock has deleted all the posts related to Supergirl including her announcement one 🙃 https://t.co/FCHoI2lgOW— Everything_DCU (@EverythingDCU_) October 15, 2026 DC movie watchers feared the worst for Alcock's character after noticing the star had wiped mentions of Kara Zor-El from her Instagram timeline.
