Då var det alltså officiellt, James Gunn kommer regissera Warner Bros nästa stora stålmannen-rulle, filmen han själv också skrivit manus till. Detta lät han själv precis meddela via sitt Instagram-konto och filmens premiärdatum är satt till den 11:e juli 2025. Superman: Legacy kommer dessutom bli startskottet för den första delen av det nya DCU som går under namnet 'Chapter One, Gods & Monsters'.
"Yes, I'm directing Superman: Legacy to be released on July 11, 2025. My brother Matt said, when he saw the release date, he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, "Dude, it's Dad's birthday." I hadn't realized.
It has been a long road to this point. I was offered Superman years ago - I initially said no because I didn't have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved.
Then a bit less than a year ago I saw a way in, in many ways centering around Superman's heritage - how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes.
So I chose to finally take on writing the script. But I was hesitant to direct, despite the constant pestering by Peter Safran and others to commit (sorry, Peter).
Just because I write something doesn't mean I feel it in my bones, visually and emotionally, enough to spend over two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude.
But, the long and the short of it is, I love this script, and I'm incredibly excited as we begin this journey."
Vi är så klart fantastiskt glada över nyheten och det är sannerligen på tiden att stålis får en alldeles egen film igen.
