James Gunn Says He’s Shooting the ‘Superman’ Sequel ‘Much Sooner Rather Than Later’: ‘We’re Scheduling it Now’

James Gunn’s Superman has given DC Studios the fresh start it desperately needed. The film not only soared to become 2025’s highest-grossing superhero movie, but it also introduced fans to David Corenswet’s charming, hopeful, and fun take on the Man of Steel.

During a recent interview with Collider, Gunn said he has completed the treatment for his “Superman” follow-up and that he and his team are currently scheduling production.

“We’re scheduling it now,” Gunn said. “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. 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.”

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.” 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.

“‘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,” Gunn explained. “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.”
