James Gunn’s Next DCU Movie Won’t Be a ‘Straight-Up Superman Sequel’

Even though Superman isn’t out in theaters yet, James Gunn might already have plans for a Superman 2 brewing.

What did James Gunn say about his next DCU movie?

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview, Gunn opened up about a potential Superman 2, and said that he wouldn’t classify what he’s working on next as a definitive Superman sequel, but does have something he’s thinking of.

“What I’m working on is in some way…I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes,” said Gunn. “But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.”

Gunn also responded to quotes from WB’s David Zaslav, who recently said at an investor’s meeting that characters like Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman are crucial to the longevity of DC. Gunn said he agrees, but wouldn’t limit it to just those four.

“I wouldn’t say only those four characters, but I would say that those four characters are incredibly important to us,” Gunn said. “Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we’re dealing with the other two.”

“Superman, DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures,” the official synopsis reads. “In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.”

Along with David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, Superman stars Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe.

Superman is set to premiere in theaters on July 11, 2025.
