James Gunn continues to fly high. Earlier this summer, the CO chief of DC Studios celebrated its release of its first independent ”Superman“Function (as he wrote and directed) and will soon see the release of “Peacemaker” season 2. And it is in addition to his work that runs the studio together with Peter Safran (the couple was named CO-CEOS 2022).
Now Gunn is drawing the trigger on yet another project: to write and direct “next installment in the super family”, as Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during the company’s revenue call, as Amount reported.
Although it is not yet canceled if this will be a sequel to “Superman”, it has been confirmed that David Corenswet’s titular character will start in it. Before that, Craig Gillespies “Supergirl” will be released in 2026, with Milly Alcock’s role that was teased in “Superman.”
Gunn and Safran previously revealed a ten -year plan for DCUIncluding a “Wonder Woman” start and 2026 releases “Supergirl” and “Clayface”, the latter that Gunn said to be a “completely different thing” tonal. “Although it is in the same universe it is a complete horror filmand that’s one of the things we want to do, Gunn said CBS mornings By “clayface”, adds, “There is no business style. It’s not like every movie will be like” Superman. “The artists and directors and authors who create each one will give their own meaning to it.
Gunn already teased to Entertainment every week The “peacemaker” season 2 is “very linked to” Superman “and it is very linked to what comes after.”
The “after” section has not yet seen … It makes sense, however, that Gunn will write and direct the franchise payment. Gunn’s “Superman”, which he also wrote and directed, earned $ 315 million in the United States and $ 550 million globally. Gunn acknowledged Police stone That he was surprised at how well the function did at the international cash register.
“Superman is not a famous item In some places. He is not a big known superhero in some places that Batman is. It affects things, “Gunn said.” And it also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American feeling around the world right now. It doesn’t really help us. So I think it’s just about letting something grow. But again, for us, everything has been a total win. Having the film come out and be something that has been embraced by people everywhere – this is only the seed from the tree as Peter (Safran) and I have watered for the past three years. So being able to get it to start so positively has been extremely overwhelming. ”
