    James Gunn to Direct “Superman: Legacy” for DC Studios

    This just in-

    DC Studios co-head James Gunn has confirmed he will direct the upcoming new Superman film, “Superman Legacy,” which he also wrote. The filmmaker revealed a little bit more about why the project’s release date- July 11th, 2023- is important.

    Yes, I’m directing Superman: Legacy to be released on July 11, 2025. My brother Matt told me when he saw the release date he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, “Dude, it’s Dad’s birthday.” I hadn’t realized.

    I lost my Dad almost three years ago. He was my best friend. He didn’t understand me as a kid, but he supported my love of comics and my love of film and I wouldn’t be making this movie now without him.

    It has been a long road to this point. I was offered Superman years ago – I initially said no because I didn’t have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved.

    Then a bit less than a year ago I saw a way in, in many ways centering around Superman’s heritage – how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes.

    So I chose to finally take on writing the script. But I was hesitant to direct, despite the constant pestering by Peter Safran and others to commit (sorry, Peter).

    Just because I write something doesn’t mean I feel it in my bones, visually and emotionally, enough to spend over two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude.

    But, the long and the short of it is, I love this script, and I’m incredibly excited as we begin this journey. #UpUpandAway

    No casting for the part of Superman has been confirmed yet, nor anything else about the project. It was announced earlier this year during a press conference held by the Warner Bros. Pictures comic film arm.
