James Gunn says he planned a cameo for Big Brother 28 contestant Rick Devens in his film Man of Tomorrow, but Devens ultimately cancels due to competing filming commitments. Gunn shared the update after Devens appeared on the Thursday live eviction episode of Big Brother and gave Gunn a shoutout during the broadcast. Gunn then posted the clip and explained that Devens had been slated to appear in the DC Studios co-head’s movie, though the cameo did not happen because Devens “had to cancel.” The reports describe the conflict as a scheduling issue tied to Devens’s obligations for CBS’s Big Brother, which has overlapping production demands with movie work. Gunn’s comments focus on the fan-friendly connection between the two projects, but he does not indicate any change in the creative plans beyond the cameo’s cancellation. All outlets agree that Devens’s shoutout on the live show prompted Gunn to publicly discuss the missed cameo.
