Gunn Already Writing New DCU Film Amid Merger!
4 Oct
Summary
- James Gunn is actively writing a new film while awaiting Superman's edit.
- DC Studios leadership is secure despite the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.
- Gunn's next DCU film is slated for a July 2027 theatrical release.
James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, confirmed he is already immersed in writing his next film project, even while the edit for the upcoming "Superman" is in progress. This creative endeavor commenced after production wrapped on "Superman" in August.
The film, the fourth in Gunn's new DCU franchise, is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 9, 2027. This development occurs amidst significant industry consolidation, with Paramount acquiring Warner Bros. and renaming the entity to Skydance.
Despite the merger, Gunn and fellow DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran have received assurances of continued operations. They were invited by David Ellison to remain in their roles. All film units, including Paramount and Warner Bros, will now report to Paramount Pictures co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.
Since assuming leadership in late 2022 following the WBD merger, DC Studios has released "Superman." "Supergirl" is set for an October 23 release, and "The Batman: Part II" is currently in production with a planned February 18, 2028 premiere.
