Warner Bros. is getting ready to make some major changes to the DC Universe after hiring James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of DC Studios. Gunn has revealed that he will be writing a new Superman movie that will not feature Henry Cavill as the Last Son of Krypton. The new Superman movie will not be an origin story but will focus on the character when he first arrives in Metropolis and begins work for the Daily Planet. It was also revealed that the newly minted studio would be working on a bunch of Elseworlds stories and fans have been pitching some cool ideas. One artist has created a new piece of fan art that shows Nicolas Cage returning as the Superman Beyond version of the character.
An artist on Instagram that goes by the handle of @Clements.Ink created an awesome design of the National Treasure star as Superman Beyond. In the fan art, Cage gets the Superman Beyond suit equipped with a black and gray color way. The actor has in no way been confirmed to appear as the Man of Steel, but the fan art sure is fun to look at. You can check out the fan art below!

Gunn and Peter Safranย began their jobs as Co-CEO’s of DC Studios in Novemberย and it’s safe to say that the future of DC is looking bright. When the duo was announced by the new Warner Bros. Discovery boss,ย they released a statement on their excitement for the job.
“We’re honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we’ve loved since we were children,” Gunn and Safran added in a joint statement. “We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We’re excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told.”
The most recently released DC Film to hit theaters was the Dwayne Johnson-ledย Black Adam. Black Adam will star Johnson and will also feature Aldis Hodge (Underground,ย The Invisible Man) as Hawkman, Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I Love Before,ย Charlie’s Angels) as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets,ย Euphoria) as Cyclone, Sarah Shahi (The L Word,ย Sex/Life) as Adrianna Tomaz, and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye,ย Mamma Mia!) as Doctor Fate.
