Overview
- Gunn posted a clip on Threads on Sunday that showed Rick Devens name‑dropping him during a live Big Brother eviction episode, and he used the post to confirm the two know each other.
- Gunn said Devens had been scheduled for a background cameo in Man of Tomorrow but cancelled because of his Big Brother filming obligations, and that Devens’ wife and children still appear in the film.
- Devens delivered the on‑air shoutout during the Season 28 eviction broadcast, a moment that prompted Gunn’s public clarification about the planned cameo.
- Man of Tomorrow remains in production under Gunn and is slated to open on July 9, 2027 with David Corenswet returning as Superman.
- The episode highlights how tight reality‑show shooting schedules can preclude optional background roles and underscores Gunn’s well‑known fandom for Big Brother while Devens competes for the $750,000 prize.
