According to Variety, James Gunn has finished writing the script for Superman: Legacy. He is now preparing audition material for the project.
Gunn has worked on the upcoming film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which he says prepared him for the new Superman movie. “I learned so much from making these movies,” Gunn said to Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “But it’s not like Superman is going to have exactly the same vibe as a Guardians movie. It’s actually quite different.”
He has pinpointed an ongoing challenge. He explained that each new project should be better than the previous installment, which is very difficult to create. Gunn has been working within the genre for many years and he has admittingly reached a point of fatigue. However, he wants to continue to create new super hero films as long as it is supported by fans.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to open in theaters on May 5 and Superman: Legacy will debut on July 11, 2025.
