James Gunn, co-chairman of DCEU, updates on ‘Superman: Legacy’ release

Co-chairman James Gunn shares comprehensive insights into the evolving landscape of the new DC Extended Universe (DCEU), addressing the minor disruptions caused by the 2023 Hollywood Strikes. Gunn, alongside John Safran, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to provide a nuanced update on several DCEU projects scheduled for release this year.

Acknowledging the challenges brought about by the Hollywood Strikes, Gunn underscores the unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality content, emphasizing that production decisions are contingent on the availability of exceptional scripts. Gunn states, “Like I said from the beginning, we are going to put things in production based on when we have a great script, & nothing else.”

A focal point of the DCEU’s future is the highly anticipated ‘Superman: Legacy,’ positioned as a reboot for the entire universe. Gunn reveals that the production is poised to commence, with a revised release date set for July 11, 2025. In a poignant moment, Gunn shares a personal connection to the project, expressing how the loss of his father three years ago, who supported his love for comics and films, has influenced his journey in filmmaking, particularly with ‘Superman: Legacy.’

Delving into his decision-making process, Gunn discloses that he previously turned down the opportunity to direct a Superman movie due to a lack of a unique and emotionally resonant approach. However, a recent revelation about Superman’s heritage provided him with a fresh perspective, focusing on the influence of both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents on his character and choices.

Turning attention to the animated series ‘Creature Commandos,’ Gunn shares that it is currently in production, with episodes expected to be released later this year. Additionally, he provides a broader overview of the dynamic landscape within the DCEU, revealing that multiple projects are gearing up for production in the coming months. The influx of impressive scripts and the attraction of top-tier talent to both planned and unplanned projects underscore the continued vibrancy and growth of the DCEU.

Gunn offers brief glimpses into various projects in different stages of development, including ‘Waller,’ ‘Lanterns’ (a Green Lantern series), ‘Paradise Lost’ (a Wonder Woman prequel series), ‘Booster Gold,’ and the second season of ‘Peacemaker.’ However, updates on Robert Pattinson’s ‘The Batman II,’ ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ and the horror film ‘Swamp Thing’ are not included in this particular announcement.

In sum, Gunn’s comprehensive update provides fans with a detailed look into the current status and future trajectory of the DCEU, offering reassurance about the commitment to quality storytelling and the diverse array of projects in the pipeline.
