It’s been three years since the release of Matt Reeves‘”The Batman” with Robert Pattinson as the dark knight, and Between the success of “The Penguin” and the tension in a new regime on DC Studiosfans and journalists can’t stop asking DC Chief James Gunn about what happens to “The Batman Part II.”
But in a new interview, Gunn has something new to add: just cold.
“Listen, we’ll get a script in June. I hope it happens. We feel really good with it. Matt is excited. I’m talking to Matt all the time. I’m completely excited about it. So we can’t wait to read the scripts, but we haven’t read it yet, if that’s your question,” Gunn told Gunn Entertainment every week.
If that timeline holds and a script is delivered this month as expected, a source tells indieview that expectations are film would start shooting in January in London.
But it still bugs Gunn to continue to get the question when he tries Promote his own movie “Superman,” And he also didn’t hold back: “People should go off Matts nuts because it is like, let the guy write the script at the time he needs to write it. It’s just as it is. He is not guilty of you anything because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things he does.”
Gunn has been clear Since he first took the job at DC Studios Alongside Peter Safran that he does not intend to make a movie until the script is clear and in a condition he is happy with. It reflects differently to the process – and the drama – which resulted in Marvel when movies like “Blade” would be green and dated without a script, which led to Countless new authors, directors and finally delays.
Gunn also recently wrote on threads that five years between franchise movies is not that unusual. He pointed to a 14 -year -old gap between “Incredibles” films, seven years between “Alien” and “Aliens”, and even six years between his own “Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2” and “vol. 3.”
Still, “The Batman Part II” was announced by the former regime at Warner Bros. and DC on Cinemacon in April 2022And the movie was twice delayed after being datedWith the likelihood that it will not meet theaters until 2027. Plus, with Gunn who previously announced DC’s plans for a Batman movie based on “The brave and bold ”comedyOne who, unlike Reeves’ Batman, will fit into the larger cinematic universe that starts theatal with “Superman”, it is fair to wonder if a second Batman movie is still a priority.
However, Reeves is said to take its time with script, although this is a slightly longer gap between his two “Planet of the Apes” films, but Gunn feels that the perception does not really care about Reeves.
“Well, I don’t think Matt really notices it that much,” Gunn said. “He has many other things that happen, so I don’t think he lets it affect him. He’s good. But I’m annoyed by people. I mean, it’s just the thing that people don’t have to be entitled to.
“Superman” opens in theaters on Friday, July 11.
