If Gunn and Safran and Warner Bros. want to establish that this is going to be a new DC universe, they could take the more radical step of a hard reset – wiping out all the previous canon, characters, and actors, and starting from absolute zero.
This comes with enormous risks, of course. For one, as we noted earlier, actors like Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Henry Cavill have proven quite popular in their roles, even if some of the films have let them down. Showing them the door might anger some longtime, dedicated fans.
There’s also the question of just how fresh a start they can make. Surely seeing the origin of Superman, Wonder Woman, or The Flash yet again would not be inspiring to audiences either, who might feel like they’re seeing the same old stories one more time, with different faces.
On the other hand, keeping some of the actors around from years past would keep the links to the “Snyderverse” alive, and if there’s one thing that Warner Bros. probably wants to do, it’s get past that whole debacle and the toxicity of a certain subsection of its fan base.
The “Snyderverse” ultimately sunk under the weight of its own ponderousness and grimdark sensibilities, with high points like Wonder Woman or Shazam! going directly against the grain in order to succeed. All the fallout from Zack Snyder’s misinterpretation of much of the DC universe is something that the studio, as well as Gunn and Safran, might not want to deal with anymore.
If we know James Gunn, he’d like to at the very least introduce a Superman who enjoys being a superhero, as well as some of the crazy weirdness of characters like Lobo, and make DC fun on its own terms (without necessarily going the more comedic route of Marvel).
