James Gunn says work on 'Superman' sequel is going on in full-swing

DC Studios chief James Gunn details his comprehensive Superman project, promising a unique approach to the superhero narrative.

"My treatments are incredibly intense. They're not regular treatments. - James Gunn, Collider"

Los Angeles, Aug 17

Filmmaker and DC boss James Gunn has shared an update with regards to his sequel of 'Superman'. James has said that he has completed the treatment for his 'Superman' follow-up and that he and his team are currently scheduling production.

He also said that his treatment rendered to the superhero is quite intense, reports 'Variety'.

He told Collider, "We're scheduling it now. I'm totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They're not regular treatments. They're 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything".

He further mentioned, "And so, now I'm just turning that into a script. We're planning out when we're going to shoot that. It's going to be much sooner rather than later".

As per 'Variety', James Gunn recently revealed across various interviews during his 'Superman' press tour that he is writing a new film featuring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, although he remained vague whether it was a standalone sequel or an entirely new project.

Other upcoming projects on the DC slate include 'Peacemaker' Season 2, 'Supergirl', the 'Lanterns' TV series, 'Wonder Woman' and 'Clayface'.

James Gunn said during a recent interview with CBS Mornings that all projects under the DC umbrella will have their own unique tone and style, much like the comics they are based on.

He said, "'Clayface' is a totally different thing. Although it's in the same universe, it's a complete horror film, and that's one of the things we want to do".

"There's not a company style. It's not like every movie is gonna be like 'Superman.' The artists and the directors and the writers that create each one will bring their own sense to it. We don't want people being bored", he added.

As an Indian comic book lover, I really hope they don't Americanize Superman too much. The character has universal appeal - remember how we all loved the Christopher Reeve version growing up in India!

DC needs to stop announcing 10 projects at once and focus on making 1 good movie first. Remember what happened with the DCEU? Too many eggs in the basket!

Excited for the horror take on Clayface! Indian audiences love horror - if done well, this could be huge in our market too. Hope they don't water it down for international appeal.

Honestly, I'm more excited about Supergirl than Superman. After Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic passing, I've been hoping DC would cast an Indian actress for some role. Maybe Zaira Wasim? She'd be perfect!

As someone who's lived in both US and India, I appreciate Gunn's approach of giving each project its own tone. That's how comics work - Batman and Superman stories have always felt different. Hope they execute this vision well!

I just hope they don't make Superman too dark like Snyder did. Superman should inspire hope - that's why he's so popular in India. We have enough darkness in real
