James Gunn Shares Insight into Cancelled ‘Man of Tomorrow’ Cameo

James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios, recently shared an interesting revelation about a cancelled cameo in the upcoming ‘Man of Tomorrow’ film. The cameo was initially set for Rick Devens, a cast member of the popular CBS reality show ‘Big Brother 28’.

Gunn made the announcement on Thursday’s eviction episode of ‘Big Brother 28’, where Devens gave a shoutout to the filmmaker during the live broadcast. A fan asked Gunn if he would be making a cameo in the ‘Superman’ sequel, to which he replied, ‘No, because he’s on Big Brother! Otherwise, he would have been.’

Gunn’s response sparked curiosity, and one of his followers asked if Devens actually knew him. The filmmaker replied, ‘We do. He was gonna appear in the background of MoT but he had to cancel (his awesome wife and kids still came). He couldn’t tell me why but told me I’d be excited. Obviously, I was!’
