James Gunn confirmed Monday that he is already writing his next film, revealing that work is underway even as his Superman picture, Superman Man of Tomorrow, prepares to arrive in theaters.
Gunn did not immediately disclose a title, cast, or whether he will direct the project, but his use of the word “already” indicates the project is in active script development. The filmmaker has built a reputation for moving quickly from script to production on high-profile franchise work.
Gunn is best known for directing Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, and he has been a leading creative voice behind DC’s recent film slate. His confirmation arrives at a moment when studios are trying to establish steady pipelines of tentpole releases and franchise entries.
The announcement underscores Gunn’s prolific pace and raises immediate questions about how the new project will fit with Superman Man of Tomorrow and the broader DC plans. If the film ties into the Superman storyline it could influence casting and scheduling decisions across the studio’s upcoming releases.
Studio officials have not released further details. Industry watchers will be looking for a formal announcement on whether Gunn will also direct, a tentative production timeline, and how the project will relate to the Superman film. Given Gunn’s track record, more concrete information could surface quickly.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.
