won\u2019t even reach Man of Steel\u2018s $670M gross without inflation<\/a> (that would be over $900M in today\u2019s dollars!).<\/p>\nSo Gunn\u2019s DCU isn\u2019t going with Superman 2, as well! It\u2019s something fans have wanted since the first Man of Steel. Even Henry Cavill pitched Man of Steel 2, but WB didn\u2019t bite. Now Gunn isn\u2019t giving the fans what they want. It all sounds like something Mxyzptlk would be involved with!<\/p>\n
What did James Gunn say about the Superman sequel?<\/p>\n
James Gunn has been answering fan questions on Threads about his next DCU movie, which he is currently writing. The bad news is that if you like his Superman, there won\u2019t be a straight-up sequel; the good news is that whatever it is will feature David Corenswet as the Man of Steel in a major role.<\/p>\n
Gunn posted an update on Threads that he is busy with, \u201cPeacemaker press!! And sequel writing!!!<\/p>\n
A fan questioned Gunn: \u201cI\u2019m a little confused right now. Is this the same movie you\u2019ve talked about in the past, the one where you said Superman had a major role but wasn\u2019t exactly a sequel? Or is this a different movie, and this one is actually \u2018SUPERMAN 2\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gunn responded: \u201cYes, yes, sorry. This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It\u2019s not \u2018Superman 2.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Another fan questioned: \u201cSo not a direct sequel to Superman?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gunn shot back: \u201cI\u2019m not sure how you define \u2018direct sequel.\u2019 I pretty much think of Peacemaker Season 2 as a direct sequel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another fan asked about the announcement: \u201cAre we close to an official confirmation as to what this movie you are writing currently is, or is that still a ways off?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gunn said: \u201cIt\u2019s a ways off.\u201d<\/p>\n
What is the Superman sequel? Not World\u2019s Finest<\/p>\n
There has been speculation that Gunn is writing a World\u2019s Finest movie, which would pair the David Corenswet Superman with the new DCU Batman. <\/p>\n
However, while recently speaking with Josh Horowitz, Gunn shook his head \u201cno\u201d that it\u2019s World\u2019s Finest and said it\u2019s not Batman vs. Superman.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuperman is very important,\u201d said Gunn, who confirmed he is going to direct and that announcement will be coming sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s next for David Corenswet\u2019s Superman? Your guess is as good as ours. Gunn says it\u2019s \u201ca ways off,\u201d and it\u2019s not Superman 2, not World\u2019s Finest, and not Batman vs Superman. Maybe Justice League International? Or how about since Gunn did cosmic at Marvel with the Guardians, SUPERMAN & THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shades of the DCEU!
