James Gunn Says Big Brother 28 Star Traded a Man of Tomorrow Role for CBS Competition

Gunn said Devens would have appeared in the Superman sequel, but the Big Brother contestant had to cancel because of filming duties.

  • On Threads, DC Studios co-head James Gunn revealed that Survivor alum Rick Devens missed a background cameo in Man of Tomorrow due to his participation on Big Brother Season 28.

  • David Corenswet will reprise his role as Superman opposite Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor in Man of Tomorrow, while Devens joined Big Brother as one of three surprise houseguests during the premiere.
