Superhero movie directed by James Gunn, titled 'Superman', set for release this week
In the world of DC Universe (DCU), James Gunn is busy working on a follow-up to his 2025 Superman film, titled Superman: Legacy. This sequel is set to expand the "Superman family" and is being hailed as the next installment in the Super-Family by Warner Bros. Discovery's head, David Zaslav [1].
The 2025 film, starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, serves as a reboot for the Superman film series within the DCU. While specific characters in the sequel beyond Superman have not been confirmed explicitly, references to the "Superman family" and Brainiac suggest that it will feature key Superman-related characters [2].
The digital version of Superman: Legacy will be available for purchase on August 15, costing $30 for a download. The Blu-ray version will follow on September 23 [3]. Despite its success, the film has recently dropped out of the top five at the box office.
Meanwhile, Gunn's next project within the DCU is Peacemaker Season 2. This series, which Gunn partially directed and wrote, is expected to tie directly into the events of Superman: Legacy. A specific release date for Peacemaker Season 2 has not yet been announced [4].
Other upcoming DC projects include the TV show The Lanterns, scheduled for release early next year, and Clayface, set for October 2026. The highly anticipated Supergirl is also scheduled for release in summer 2026, after a few months following the release of Clayface [5].
Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting DC projects!
