dailyloe.com – James Gunn has criticized a report about casting for his Superman sequel. The DC Studios co-CEO called Deadline’s reporting ‘shoddy and incorrect’. He made the comments on Threads on April 8.
Deadline claimed four actors had tested for the role of Maxima. The actors named were Adria Arjona, Sydney Chandler, Eva De Dominici, and Grace Van Patten. Maxima is a fiery queen from the DC comics.
Gunn said the report was ‘bulls**t’ after seeing it shared online. He expressed disappointment in Deadline’s journalism. Gunn stated the names were not accurate.
‘If someone would have run these names by us we would have said it’s bulls**t,’ Gunn wrote. He noted he has been friends with Adria Arjona for a long time. Gunn said he is a fan of others but has never met them.
Before Gunn’s comments, DC Studios declined to comment on the story. Deadline later updated its article to defend its reporting process. An unnamed editor said the story was updated after a review.
Another Los Angeles-based news outlet was mentioned in the source. The source text was cut off before naming this outlet. No further details were provided.[]
