After a long wait, DC Universe has finally landed in the future, thanks to James Gunn and Peter Safran. The newly rebooted DC Universe will be led and managed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Gunn’s passion for comic books is evident throughout the lineup. There have been significant changes since James Gunn took over, which should help DC Universe move forward.
DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran presented the next age of the DC Universe in late January, which would include ten movies and television projects over the next few years. The first “true” DCU entry will be Superman: Legacy, which will draw inspiration from some of the character’s most uplifting and positive tales. Gunn and Safran are attempting to revive “The Man of Steel” with a younger and less experienced Clark Kent.
As Warner Bros. begins planning for the first film in the DC Universe’s (DCU) Chapter 1, Superman: Legacy, an obvious name has emerged as a possible director option. And a new report suggests none other than James Gunn will most “likely” end up directing Superman: Legacy.
Although Warner Bros. is still early in the production of this new Superman narrative, it is apparent that Gunn will write the script for the film, bringing the character to justice.
Will James Gunn direct “Superman: Legacy”?
According to rumors, James Gunn will direct the highly anticipated “Superman: Legacy.” According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn will most likely direct the planned Superman: Legacy film. This was corroborated by the One Take News Twitter account, which stated that Gunn will not only write but probably also direct the movie. Gunn has a reputation for bringing fresh and unique insights to his work, which is fantastic news for fans of the DC universe.
