In a recent interview with Salon, Youssef hinted that he may have lost a role in the upcoming DCU film after an interview of his with Piers Morgan in October went viral. In the interview, Youssef was discussing the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict and the treatment of Palestine, something he says he believes led to him being removed from the film.
“In the United States of America, you can talk about Joe Biden, you can talk about Donald Trump, but you cannot criticize a foreign government which is kind of, like, very sad, you know? And then because of that, I was cast in the movie Superman, and then they told me, ‘We changed the script’ after this Piers Morgan interview, and I want to assume good faith,” said Youssef when Superman was brought up.
Following the interview, Deadline reported that Youssef had never been formally offered a role in the film. A separate report from IGN claimed that Youssef had been involved in the film, but was removed from the project before his interview.
