A brand-new Superman motion picture is ultimately en route as component of James Gunn as well as Peter Safran’s new take on the DC Universe. Safran as well as Gunn, who are now coheads of Warner Bros.’ DC Studios, have actually introduced a checklist of 10 tasks (including two Batman movies) that will certainly begin the brand-new DCU beginning with Superman: Legacy in 2025.
While we don’t have a lot of information concerning Superman: Legacy right now, right here’s whatever we do understand about the Man of Steel’s most recent venture right into movie.
Henry Cavill won’t play Superman
The previous Superman, that began his period in 2013’s Man of Steel, has actually hung up his cape forever as well as won’t be returning as Superman for Gunn’s brand-new movie. While we’ve known this since December 2022, we still don’t recognize that will certainly use up the mantle following. Gunn has actually teased that it’ll be a more youthful tackle Clark Kent, although he’ll currently be old sufficient to operate at the Daily Planet.
What’s Superman: Legacy concerning?
Beyond the youth-skewing strategy to the movie, Gunn states his way into the Superman story is “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.”
James Gunn is guiding as well as creating the motion picture
Gunn will certainly deal with the scripting for Superman: Legacy, which must place him in the setting to establish his brand-new DCU anyhow he can. His duty as author plainly makes this a various job than the motion picture J.J. Abrams was developing with Ta-Nehisi Coates previously, which is apparently still in the jobs as a “DC Elseworlds” movie.
Gunn will certainly likewise route the motion picture, which he announced in March after originally being uncertain on whether he’d tackle that duty. In a collection of tweets concerning his choice, Gunn discussed that he originally transformed Superman down years earlier due to the fact that he didn’t feel he had a method right into the tale that really felt distinct. And also after locating his means right into the manuscript, Gunn continued to be skeptical that he needs to create the motion picture. In one tweet, Gunn claimed, “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.”
Finally, after a little bit much more persuading, Gunn decided to direct the movie himself due to the fact that he suched as the manuscript a lot.
This will certainly be Gunn’s initial directorial job after 2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, as well as his initial motion picture in the DC Universe because Suicide Squad in 2021.
When will Superman: Legacy be launched?
Superman: Legacy is readied to get here in movie theaters on July 11, 2025. This appears to be the initial of the brand-new slate of DCU tasks to obtain a launch day as well as will certainly also be launched in advance of The Batman Part 2, which is readied to appear in Oct. 3, 2025.
