James Gunn I had everything well prepared. The person responsible for DC Studios has been working with peter safran and the rest of the team a long-term plan for the publisher’s superheroes, along the same lines that Disney has drawn up with the UCM. Now, we finally know his plans in full.
A total of 10 series and films have been revealed at once and among them stands out Superman: Legacy. The last son of Krypton will restart its own time line starting on July 11, 2025, the date of the film’s release in theaters. It will be a most important event, since it has been described by Gunn as “the beginning of the DCU”.
Regarding what we can expect from production, it seems that we are clear that we will not see for the umpteenth time the origin of the superhero. “It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is goodness in a world that thinks goodness is old-fashioned,” he explains himself. Safran.
In charge of the script is the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, although Safran’s idea is that Gunn is also in charge of the project in the role of director. The idea of giving Superman a new start is an idea that David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, was enthusiastic about, so the producer’s support is absolute.
“‘Superman’ is for everyone. That’s a four-quadrant movie that should speak to everyone in the world,” Gunn recounts. On the other hand, the person in charge has confirmed that the plans for the DCU are projected for the next 8-10 years and right now we are in the so-called Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
