James Gunn is a fan of Big Brother, and his friend Rick Devens joined the cast of Season 28 of the CBS competition.
On Thursday’s eviction episode, Devens gave Gunn a shoutout during the live broadcast after sharing his vote to evict.
The DC Studios co-head shared the clip of Devens name-dropping him on live TV and one of Gunn’s followers asked if he would be in the Superman sequel.
“No because he’s on Big Brother! Otherwise he would have been,” Gunn shared on Threads.
Another Threads user asked Gunn if Devens actually knew him, to which 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!”
Big Brother Season 28 features Survivor veteran Rick Devens competing for a $750,000 cash prize. The cast of the series also includes Angela Murray, Ashley Trail (24), Barrett Pfeiffer (27), Chuck Anyanwu (27), Drew Campbell (22), Haley Thogmartin (29), Jason de Puy (35), Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk (32), LaTrice Verrett (57), Lyric Medeiros (25), Mallory Aurichio (24), Melody Morris (24), Rome Seymour (28) and Taylor Brown (27).
Man of Tomorrow is the sequel to Superman, the DC Studios superhero film that opened with $125 million at the domestic box office and eventually became the first DC movie to cross the $300 million mark since 2022’s The Batman. David Corenswet is set to reprise his role as Superman with the film set to release on July 9, 2027.
