Henry Cavill is no longer a part of the Superman franchise, and we are still in the darks who will play next. Now, James Gunn has finally teased some traits that he is looking for in his new Superman, and we wonder who matches those traits. And, well, it’s not Chris Pratt.

Ever since Gunn became DC Universe’s co-CEO, he turned the DC world upside down, including Henry’s exit as Superman to Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman’s third instalment cancellation. For some time, there have been rumours that Chris Pratt might become the new Superman, but James’ recent revelation stated that it’s not true.

In an interview with Variety, James Gunn talked about the traits he’s looking for in his new Superman and also shared that even though they have some great choices in their hands, they are still looking forward. He said, “It’s hard but we’re looking. And we actually have some really great choices, which I’m excited about.”
Going further, James Gunn added, “It has to be somebody who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and compassion that Superman has. And it has to be somebody that you’d want to give you a hug.”
