James Gunn to direct Superman: Legacy
James Gunn revealed earlier in a tweet that he will be officially directing Superman: Legacy.
It was previously made public that Gunn will be writing the film. However, when the project was announced in January as part of the unveiling of the updated DC Universe by Gunn and fellow DC Studios co-head Peter Safran, the filmmaker wasn't positive if he would be the director or not.
Gunn tweeted: "Yes, I'm directing Superman: Legacy to be released on 11 July, 2025. My brother Matt told me 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 realised."
