In an interview<\/a> with Howard Stern, James Gunn revealed he\u2019s just about done writing the Superman sequel Man Of Tomorrow. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be out in two years in theaters on July 9th, 2027<\/a>, which is relatively a short time between sequels because we knew immediately where we were going,\u201d the director teased. \u201cAnd it is a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat and it\u2019s more complicated than that. It\u2019s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Superman ends with the titular hero saving the day, and Luthor getting arrested in disgrace. Despite his villainy (and Elon Musk-ish tendencies), Gunn said, \u201cI relate to the character of Lex Luthor, sadly.\u201d Luthor\u2019s envy is \u201cthe center of Lex for me,\u201d the filmmaker added. \u201cThree years ago, before Superman came along, he was considered the greatest guy in the world even with other meta humans and superheroes in the world, and then one fell swoop, this guy comes in wearing a silly costume with dimples and a charming smile and a great chin and he\u2019s forgotten.\u201d That\u2019s a pretty juicy dynamic to explore<\/a> for a team-up film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, the co-head of DC Studios touched on some of the other upcoming projects, including Clayface, which is a \u201chardcore R-rated body horror film, but with the same universe as Superman.\u201d Of Supergirl, he said \u201c[we\u2019re] editing it right now,\u201d and added, \u201cMilly Alcock, who plays Supergirl might be the best bit of casting I think I\u2019ve ever done in my entire life. I think she\u2019s absolutely stunning in this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Superman sequel Man Of Tomorrow suits up for summer 2027<\/a>James Gunn’s Superman walked so that his Peacemaker could fuck<\/a><\/p>\n

Since taking over the studio, Gunn has kept extremely busy, not only producing but directing and writing as well (on Superman, Peacemaker, and the animated Creature Commandos). \u201cOver one year, I wrote 650 something pages. Over the next year, I produced 650 pages, and\u2026 over this year, we\u2019re releasing 650 pages,\u201d he told Stern. \u201cThat was at the beginning when I took on DC and I promised myself I\u2019m slowing down at least a tiny bit, although I am creating the Superman sequel that we\u2019re starting to shoot in April or so.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an interview with Howard Stern, James Gunn revealed he\u2019s just about done writing the Superman sequel Man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-16219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
