Overview

  • Superman is scheduled for a July 11 release as the first entry in the DCU Gods and Monsters chapter.
  • Gunn is writing multiple unannounced projects, including a secret TV series he has called his favorite thing and withheld to prevent idea theft.
  • DC Studios has adopted a script-first approach, requiring high-quality screenplays before greenlighting both mainline DCU films and standalone Elseworlds tales.
  • He has met with a very famous movie actor—widely believed to be Michael B. Jordan—about an Elseworlds screenplay that must reach masterpiece standards to move forward.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy alumni Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff and Michael Rooker will voice the Kryptonian robots that tend to Superman in his Fortress of Solitude.
