James Gunn is now writing and preparing to direct the next movie in the ‘Super-Family,’ Warner Bros. has announced.
CEO David Zaslav, in a financial call, said Superman marked “the beginning of a new era for DC Studios.”
“We’re thrilled to share that James Gunn is already writing and preparing to direct the next installment within the ‘Super-Family,'” Zaslav said.
But is it a sequel?
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gunn confirmed he has already begun working on Superman’s next DCU appearance, although he wouldn’t go so far as to call it a sequel. “What I’m working on is in some way… I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes,” was his response to Superman getting a follow-up movie. “But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.”
Super confused? Me too. But at least we know a new Superman saga of some kind is in the pipeline. And that makes me super happy.
