James Gunn Will Officially Be Director of Superman: Legacy

James Gunn directly confirmed that he would be working on the first film from DC Studios under his leadership, Superman: Legacy. Gunn said Superman: Legacy will release on July 11, 2025. 

. 

"Yes, I am directing Superman: Legacy which will be released on July 11, 2025," James Gunn wrote on Twitter. 

. 

"My brother Matt told me he started crying when he saw the release date. I asked him why, he said 'Dude, it's daddy's birthday'. I didn't even realize it,"

. 

Gunn said that he had long been offered to work on Superman. But then years ago, he turned down the offer. 

. 

"I didn't yet have a way that felt unique, fun, and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserves," Gunn said. 

. 

It wasn't until then, Gunn said, less than a year ago that he came across a number of stories surrounding the life of Superman's legacy and felt they could be his entry point. 

. 

A number of these things were mentioned regarding Superman's background, namely his parents on Krypton who were aristocrats and his human parents on Earth who were farmers. 

. 

Both of these aspects, Gunn calls, influence Superman in determining who he is and making decisions in his life.
