James Gunn reminds everyone he's "never said" that Brainiac is in the Superman sequel, but promises a new villain will appear in Man of Tomorrow

Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor in Superman.

James Gunn is back in full debunking mode, this time with all the whispers and rumors surrounding Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow and its apparent villain, Brainiac.

Replying to a report that suggested Guardians of the Galaxy actor Dave Bautista was being lined up to play Brainiac, Gunn wrote on Threads, "Let's forget a moment I've never said Brainiac was in the movie. I freaking love [Dave Bautista] & I have many ideas for who he could play in the DCU. But he & I have never discussed a role in Man of Tomorrow, nor have we discussed it amongst ourselves at DC. In addition, truly, NONE of the names, from the six or seven I've seen rumored for a role, have auditioned or been discussed at all."
