Gunn celebrated the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike with a post on the social media platform Threads and said that Superman Legacy is still slated for its originally planned release date: July 11, 2025.

“Thanks to the efforts of our talented crew, who never lost faith during the longest strikes in Hollywood history, and who never let their foot off the pedal, continuing to barrel forward, creating the most amazing character and set designs I’ve seen in my entire career,” wrote Gunn.

Superman: Legacy will see Clark Kent trying to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas. Peter Safran, who serves as the co-CEO of DC Studios alongside James Gunn described Superman in the film as “the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way.”

Superman Legacy will star David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, while Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, and Edi Gathegi are expected to join them in supporting roles.

The casting process for The Superman: Legacy has gone on for months, but only a handful of actors made it to the final stage and tested in front of DC co-chairs Peter Safran and James Gunn. The last casting call reportedly included three actors auditioning in full Superman attire.

Corenswet and Brosnahan were eventually cast in the lead roles, and DC is still looking for a supporting cast, including an actor who would play Superman’s arch-nemesis Lex Luthor.

David Corenswet was one of the front-runners for the role since the start of the auditioning process, despite being a relative newcomer in Hollywood. This marks his first major leading role after he starred in Ryan Murphy’s shows The Politician and Hollywood and movies Pearl and Look Both Ways.

Rachel Brosnahan is already a well-established actress, best known for her breakthrough role in Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She won a Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG Award for the leading turn in this series, which wrapped up this year after five seasons.

Gunn took to Twitter to announce he’ll be the one in charge of bringing Superman back to the big screen, sharing details behind this project. His film will center on the superhero’s heritage and show him trying to reconcile his Kryptonian past with his human upbringing as Clark Kent on a small farm in Kansas.

Gunn said that he doesn’t take this responsibility lightly, revealing that he was asked to direct a film about Superman years ago, but he didn’t want to accept until he felt he could do him justice.

“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… I love this script, and I’m incredibly excited as we begin this journey,” he wrote on Twitter.

Superman: Legacy will be released on July 11, 2025, as the first film in DC’s “Chapter One, Gods and Monsters”, and it will be followed by The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and Swamp Thing.

The superhero got his own film in October, with Dwayne Johnson starring as the titular character. It was a role that The Rock had been attached to for 15 years. Although a spin-off of Shazam!, it was hoped that the movie would be the beginning of a new franchise within the DC Universe. 

However, the latest shake-up at DC Studios means a Black Adam sequel has been put on by ice.

James Gunn and Peter Safran were named as joint heads of Warner Brothers at the beginning of November. The decision came about after they had advised David Zaslav, the CEO of the newly-created Warner Bros. Discovery, during his search for a new head of DC Films.

With hopes high for a Black Adam sequel, Johnson released an update that won’t please fans.

“James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling,” the Hobbs & Shaw actor said. “However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”

The news about Black Adam follows that of Wonder Woman not getting a third film, and Henry Cavill being dropped as Superman after having met with Safran and Gunn in early December.

Gunn recently took over the DC Universe alongside Peter Safran, and Cavill’s exit is the latest shocker they’ve announced following the cancelation of Wonder Woman 3. Gunn took to Twitter to explain a new Superman movie will be included in DC’s future slate, but it won’t include Cavill because it chronicles the earlier parts of Clark Kent’s life.

Even though he won’t be involved in this project, Gunn also claimed they had a great meeting” with Cavill and talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.

This announcement was quickly followed by Cavill’s own statement, saying that his turn to wear the cape has passed, despite announcing his return as Superman back in October, prior to Gunn’s and Safran’s hire.

“This news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes,” wrote the actor on social media.

That is the word from James Gunn who has confirmed that the upcoming third chapter of Guardians of the Galaxy will be its last. 

The franchise first hit screens in 2014, becoming the 10^th film in the MCU. Since then, the team comprised of Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, and Drax the Destroyer has also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder. 

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 grossed more than $863 million at the global box office in 2017, with Vol. 3 due out next year. Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillian, and Sean Gunn set to reprise their roles. Will Poulter has also joined the cast. 

As the official trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 premiered at San Diego Comic-Con, director James Gunn said, “This is the end of that story. I’m sorry. Some stories have an end. It doesn’t mean everybody dies.”

The filmmaker was previously dismissed by Disney in 2018 after controversial old tweets emerged, but was reinstated following a massive fan campaign and criticism from several Hollywood stars. 

“For a while I wasn’t going to do this movie. Then I came back,” Gunn said. “And the reason I knew I needed to come back was to tell this story and, in some ways in particular, I have a special closeness to the character of Rocket and I knew I needed to finish to tell his story.”

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 is out on May 5, 2023.

Peacemaker serves as a spin-off for Gunn’s hit film The Suicide Squad and centers on one of its fan-favorite characters. Both Cena and the series creator James Gunn confirmed the show’s renewal on social media.

Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, praised James Gunn for proving his brilliance with Peacemaker and making the first original DC show a huge success. “He took this character, brought to life by the inimitable John Cena, and created an exceptional series that’s simultaneously thrilling, hilarious, and heartfelt, showcasing the humanity beneath this team of misfits living in a superhuman world,” said Aubrey in a statement.

Peacemaker premiered on HBO Max on January 13th, and the first season saw Peacemaker join forces with black ops squad Project Butterfly to target parasitic, butterfly-like aliens together. In addition to Cena, the first season also starred Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick.

The 74-years-old actor announced the news itself on his Instagram account in a video he took down shortly after. However, in a second post, he reaffirmed his involvement in the movie saying how great it was to work with Gunn on the “astounding” movie. Later Gunn himself posted confirmation of the news on his own Instagram account saying it was amazing to work again with Stallone (Sly had a small part on Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2).

Stallone’s career is a long and prolific one, spanning decades and 74 movies. But he did not take part in many superheroes or comic books based movies. Apart from said small part on Guardians, his most notable part in the Genre was the lead role in 1995’s Judge Dredd, which did not do well with critics and is considered a flop in the box-offices.

The Suicide Squad cast also includes Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Viola Davis, Joel Kinnaman, Peter Capaldi, and John Cena.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 opened 6 years ago today. Wow,” wrote the director and posted four pictures of himself posing with different cast members such as Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Sean Gunn as well as with other crew members on the set. All participants seem to have a good time.

Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge success upon its release and garnered a sequel in 2017. The Guardians have also met and worked with other members of the MCU in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Now, a third movie of the franchise is in the works. Disney hired Gunn to write and direct the prequel but later fired him from the project due to the resurfacing of old offensive tweets he had made. Disney had since rehired him.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is yet to have a fixed released date but production is set to begin in February 2021.

Gunn told his fans on Twitter that he’s still planning to release The Suicide Squad on August 6th, 2021 and that the editing process has been pretty smooth so far.

“Right now there’s no reason for #TheSuicideSquad release date to move. We are on or ahead of schedule. We were extremely fortunate to wrap shooting & set up editing from our homes (due to a post-production team & studio with foresight) before quarantine,” wrote the director.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 still doesn’t have an official release date, but Gunn said that his plans for this movie are “exactly the same as they were before coronavirus”. Disney recently shifted release dates for several Marvel Phase 4 projects, but they still haven’t assigned a date to the next Guardians film.

He later added that while plans for both films hadn’t changed so far, it’s not completely his call.
