Superman, director James Gunn\u2019s ambitious superhero film, premiered in the theatres on July 11. The movie, headlined by David Corenswet as the titular caped hero, is a reboot of DC Comics\u2019 Superman. Notably, while attending interviews during the film\u2019s press tours, Gunn often spoke about writing a new movie with Corenswet in it. The DC CEO, however, never revealed whether the mystery project would be a standalone Superman sequel or something else. But the announcement has finally been made public thanks to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Variety, David Zaslav, has confirmed that James Gunn<\/a> would not only direct but also write the screenplay of \u201cthe next installment in the Super-Family”. The happy news was announced during Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s earnings calls. \u201cWe are thrilled to share that James Gunn is already writing and preparing to direct the next installment within the Super-Family,” he said.<\/p>\n

A shareholder letter accompanying the financial call read, \u201cIn film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC Super-Family, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026), Clayface (2026), and the next Wonder Woman. In addition, The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development,” as cited by Entertainment Weekly.<\/p>\n

The letter added, \u201cThe 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including The Penguin, which recently garnered 24 Emmy nominations and was watched by nearly 20 million HBO Max subscribers; the upcoming new season of Peacemaker; and the debut of Lanterns in 2026.”<\/p>\n

The concluding words were, \u201cIn a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio\u2019s broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences, and social.”<\/p>\n

Ahead of Superman\u2019s premiere, James Gunn in a conversation wih Entertainment Weekly, teased about a potential sequel. He said, \u201cBut is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.”<\/p>\n
