Superman Sequel Updates: Director James Gunn Reveals New Information on the Project Leaving Wondering Fans Anticipating
In the world of DC Universe (DCU), James Gunn's vision is taking shape. After the success of his new DCU project, Superman, on the big screen, Gunn is now working on the next chapter of the Superman saga.
The 2025 Superman film marks the beginning of a new DCU reboot for Gunn. The official sequel to this film, while not yet officially titled Superman 2, is currently in development. Unlike a traditional numbered sequel, this film is part of a wider storyline that integrates the Superman storyline into a larger narrative framework connecting multiple DCU characters and titles.
Peacemaker Season 2, an HBO Max series, serves as a direct sequel to the 2025 Superman movie's plot, while the actual follow-up film is expected to feature David Corenswet’s Superman in a major role. This film is envisioned as part of a broader DCU story arc rather than simply Superman 2.
The DCU under Gunn is building an interconnected universe, including Superman, Supergirl, Batman, and other heroes. The Supergirl movie, scheduled for release next year, may be part of this "Superman saga." If it does fall under this umbrella, it is on the fast track for development, with the screenplay expected to be written within months of the treatment being finalized.
James Gunn has an outline for what's next for David Corenswet's character, and production for the sequel is expected to start soon, potentially as early as spring following the original film's release in 2025. The Supergirl movie, if it is part of the "Superman saga," is likely at least a few years away from being on the screen. Actual filming could start within a year of the screenplay being written.
Gunn is using the term "Saga" to describe a long-term story arc, possibly in the same context as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The DCU is preparing for the next chapter, with Peacemaker Season 2 scheduled for 2025. It's unclear if the next project is a direct follow-up to Superman or a tangentially related project. The next project could be a movie that has Superman in it, but it's not clear if it's a previously announced project as part of Gunn's Chapter One of the DCU.
