James Gunn apparently wrote The Suicide Squad to take place in the DCEU, so he more than likely had Henry Cavill in mind as this continuity’s Superman.
James Gunn has confirmed that The Suicide Squad is a part of the DCEU, clearing up some fan confusion over the movie’s place in DC Films’ movie canon.
In a new interview with IGN, Gunn set the record straight by revealing that The Suicide Squad is in fact a part of the DCEU.
Yes, The Suicide Squad is a part of the DCEU, but I don’t know which Superman it was because I don’t cast the next Superman.
