Gunn’s Superman will launch a new DC Universe, separate from the DCEU (DC Extended Universe), in which Henry Cavill played Superman and Zack Snyder was the lead creative force. Since Cavill is now being replaced by David Corenswet’s Superman, many of Snyder’s fans are angry and openly campaigning against the new film, as Ayer found out.
Why was David Eyre attacked?
David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, part of the DCEU, has been the subject of a revival campaign. The filmmaker recently asked fans to pause that campaign as the Superman trailer was launching and urged them to support the new film. “When the last Eyre Cut campaign started I didn’t realize James was removing Creature Commando. The new Superman trailer is coming soon and I know there’s another campaign intended for my version of the squad. A movie. As a producer I want to support other film producers, I’m excited to see the trailer and have heard through the rumors that it’s pretty incredible, I just want to say publicly that Thursday for any promotion It would be nice to stay away from the end of the day he “I’m riding a tiger here,” he wrote on social media.
However, this request was met with opposition from DCEU fans, who accused Ayer of being a ‘traitor to the cause’. Many people responded by writing vile comments, even threatening her and calling her a ‘sellout’ on various social media platforms.
David Eyre took a break from social media
On Wednesday, Ayer again took to X (formerly Twitter) and expressed his disappointment over the online attacks. “My Lord. If supporting another filmmaker is so controversial, then I am lost at this point. My childhood was a nightmare when I was a kid. My best friends were comic books. When there were no So he took over and Batman spoke to my wounded soul as an example of how to see a world without darkness. Can’t. And I’m absolutely sure. That’s what it’s like to crush it. And the little kid in me needs it right now. That’s what I can’t control. Let’s step back from all this for a moment,” he said.
