James Gunn-headed DC recently announced a new animated Just League movie, which will be based on the Crisis of Infinite Earth movements. The New Justice League movie is scheduled to be released in 2024 with a new set of actors. Ever since Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over the DCEU, their obsession with hiring new actors seems to know no bounds.
From firing Henry Cavill to bringing an entire new Justice League crew, many think that James Gunn wants to wash away Zack Snyder’s version of DCEU. Snyderverse has a huge and loyal fanbase and Gunn’s attempt to replace it might not go the way he envisions. However, the new owner of DC opened up regarding the issue.

“Superman: Legacy opens two years from today. It may seem far away to many of you, but it’s close to me! We have a lot to do between now and then. But I haven’t been more excited about a project in forever… and this cast, slowly coming together… holy cow…”, commented James Gunn.
