Bassem Youssef and James Gunn are on good terms despite some confusion in the media over the former’s would-be role in Superman: Legacy.Recently, comedian Bassem Youssef made some waves when he said he suspected he lost a role in Superman: Legacy because of the public support he’d shown for Palestine. According to Youssef, he was informed shortly after publicly addressing his stance on Gaza that a role he’d spoken with James Gunn about in the movie was no longer available. A subsequent report stated that Youssef’s role had actually been written out of the script before his comments were made, and Gunn said this was “true” when sharing the article online. In a new video posted to X, Youssef explained how he has since spoken with Gunn to clear the air, and now both sides better understand what happened.”I have a great call with James. He tells me he likes to interview actors to make sure that everybody has good chemistry on set,” Youssef explained. “Everybody in the business knows that this is a great day. You do an audition, in one hour you get the call. It’s an amazing thing. Me and my agents celebrate; the universe is smiling for us.”
