Therefore, with the advent of a new cinematic universe, the new supervisors have taken some very tough decisions, and there are more that are yet to be taken, especially with who will be the new faces of the franchise going forward.

Discovery took effect, CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran took the initiative, and the first thing they did was decide to do a complete overhaul. This meant the expulsion of stars like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck from their respective roles. With that situation at hand, many fans were curious about who will be the new faces that will replace them in the upcoming DCU.
