James Gunn has officially confirmed that he is writing the sequel to his upcoming film, Superman. The confirmation was made casually on the social media platform Threads when a fan asked if he was writing it, to which Gunn simply replied, "I am."

This is significant because the first Superman film, which will launch Gunn's new DC Universe (DCU), is still a year away from release. This early confirmation of a sequel signals a high level of confidence from Gunn and DC Studios in their new vision and long-term plan.

Key takeaways from the article include:

  • Early Planning: The move to write a sequel before the first film's release shows that a multi-film arc for Superman is a central part of the new DCU's foundation.
  • First Film Status: The current Superman movie, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, has already wrapped filming and is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.
  • No Sequel Details Yet: Aside from Gunn's involvement as the writer, no other details about the sequel's plot, title, or potential release date have been announced.
