Part 4/12:
After the disastrous Snyder era, Warner Brothers' team, led by David Zaslav, attempted a major overhaul. They brought in James Gunn, renowned for his success with ensemble and humorous projects like Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, to reboot the DCEU. His first order of business included firing Henry Cavill shortly after The Rock’s engagement in Black Adam, signaling a clean break from previous continuity. This move upset fans, who had hoped for a fresh beginning, but Gunn justified his decision as part of a larger plan to reset the universe.
