WBD’s stock market would still have taken a massive dip of Gunn didn’t take over. Then y’all would be blaming it on Cavill 🙄

The stock market is so much more complicated than one guy being dropped from not even the main part of a company dramatically affecting stock prices. Theres very few times where you can point to one specific incident that directly affected stock prices

After the exit ofHenry Cavillfrom the DCU, James Gunn finally addressed the controversial decision. While taking on the role of co-head of DC Studios, Gunn said he knew that there would a minority of people that would be displeased by his decisions.
“A certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least. We were aware there would be a period of turbulence when we took this gig, & we knew we would sometimes have to make difficult & not-so-obvious choices, especially in the wake of the fractious nature of what came before us,”
Albeit a controversial one, James Gunn has also found supporters for his decision to uproot the entirety of the DCU and replant it once again. The idea of a younger version of Clark Kent is enticing for several people to watch how Gunn and Safran’s DCU will be received by the people.
