James Gunn is directing a Superman film. 'Superman: Legacy,' which Gunn also wrote, is also set for a July 11, 2025, he and his co-chair and fellow CEO of DC Studios Peter Safran announced Wednesday.
James Gunn attends a panel for Marvel Studios on day three of Comic-Con International on Saturday, July 23, 2022, in San Diego. "Superman: Legacy," which Gunn also wrote, is also set for a July 11, 2025, he and his co-chair and fellow CEO of DC Studios Peter Safran announced Wednesday.
The legacy of Superman has been somewhat fraught recently. In October, Henry Cavill announced that he would be returning to the role starting with a cameo in "Black Adam." Two months later, though, Cavill was back on social media with the news that he was out. Gunn and Safran were announced as the new DC leaders just a few days after "Black Adam" opened in October, replacing Walter Hamada, who had headed DC Films for four years. And Cavill as Superman was one of the casualties of the new guard.
Gunn has for several years been the rare director to bounce between both DC and Marvel films. He first came to DC after directing Marvel's well-regarded "Guardians of the Galaxy" films. When the Walt Disney Co. temporarily dropped Gunn over old tweets that joked about rape and pedophilia, he jumped to DC and made the supervillain film "The Suicide Squad," a kind of blockbuster do-over that followed David Ayer's much-maligned "Suicide Squad.
