There is a new shared universe on the town, as DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn launched Gods and Monsters with the primary few tasks of the newly fashioned DCU. Superman carried out nicely on the field workplace, and the general public is inquisitive about what number of upcoming DC films we should always count on to see David Corenswet’s Clark Kent in. Now the director/producer/author has provided an thought, and it may be shocking how far he is trying forward.
Followers who spent years watching the DC Films so as are being handled to a brand new imaginative and prescient, with Gunn already connecting TV and film tasks in fascinating methods. Throughout a current look on The Viall Recordsdata with Nick Viall to advertise Peacemaker Season 2 (streaming now with a Max subscription), he shared a glance into his artistic course of with Superman, saying:
I’m like considering, ‘What’s the long-term story I’m telling right here? What’s the story that I am gonna inform about Superman over 4 films?’
Effectively, I am psyched. James Gunn has confirmed himself on this style time and time once more, together with the transferring story of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. That was three films and a vacation particular, so 4 may be the magic quantity to each that Marvel property and and DC’s Superman. Give us extra data, Mr. Gunn!
I used to be impressed by how a lot world-building as performed throughout Superman, together with having different heroes like Inexperienced Lantern concerned within the narrative. It appears like he may take Superman’s story nearly wherever throughout 4 films, so the long run is trying significantly vibrant.
In fact, it is potential that this four-movie story won’t all be Superman titles particularly. Possibly he is together with any crossovers which may occur as nicely. It looks like the Justice League can be fashioned finally… even when they seem to be a mess at the moment and known as the Justice Gang. Solely time will inform, but it surely’s thrilling to listen to how James Gunn is noodling round massive image concepts for the Man of Metal.
Clark Kent went by means of an emotionally difficult journey all through Superman, making an attempt to uphold his values and assist individuals whereas being concerned in a worldwide battle and focused by Lex Luthor. He additionally finds out that his beginning mother and father despatched him to Earth to beat it, shattering his concepts of these late Kryptonians. It was an interesting meditation on the beloved DC hero, and the problems of making an attempt to assist individuals. In spite of everything, no good deed goes unpunished.
Superman is in theaters nonetheless in theaters as a part of the 2025 film launch listing, and Peacemaker Season 2 airs new episodes Thursdays on HBO Max. Whereas John Cena cameod within the blockbuster, I am hoping to see these to characters truly work together someday sooner or later. Possibly that is a part of Gunn’s four-movie plan.
