James Gunn, the creative force steering the DC Universe, dropped a bombshell during a lively interview at the Peacemaker premiere, sharing that he’s not wasting any time on the Man of Steel’s future adventures. With the first Superman film still fresh in theaters and racking up impressive numbers, Gunn confirmed he’s already polished off a thorough treatment for what he’s dubbing the “Superman saga.” This has hyped up so many fans of the DCU as this statement suggests we will not only get a sequel to Gunn’s Superman, but even more Superman projects to come in the future of the DCU.
A Superman Sequel In The Works
- Script Progress: “The treatment is done”, Gunn’s treatment is locked in and super detailed, laying a solid foundation for the next installment without any loose ends, showing his hands on approach to storytelling while letting us know that he’s ready to get this sequel to the next srteps.
- Production Timeline: He’s eyeing a swift start to filming, hinting it could happen “not too far away,” which keeps the hype alive and promises fresh content a lot sooner than expected.
- Saga Vision: Framing it as a “saga” suggests epic scope, weaving in deeper lore and character arcs that could tie into the broader DC Universe, giving us hope that David Corenswet’s Superman will be around for a very long time.
Final Thoughts
James Gunn’s Superman was and still is a success, without a doubt. There are those who deny this because he did not hit a billion at the box office, or those comparing it to Man of Steel. Regardless this is a different Superman that we really have not seen before, and for the most part a lot of people love this version in this new and improved DCU.
