Gunn’s already writing the next DCU chapter—while the current one’s still in editing.
James Gunn’s already on to the next one. While Superman: Man of Tomorrow is still in post-production — its assembly cut just wrapped, he’s reportedly deep into writing what comes after. No title, no genre, no studio confirmation. Just a single tweet: ‘Already in it.
I had to do something while I was waiting for the assembly!!’ The comment landed like a grenade in the quiet aftermath of a major milestone. It wasn’t even a full reveal. Just a wink to fans who’d asked if he was ready to start again. But the implication?
He didn’t wait. He didn’t pause. He moved. That’s not just momentum.
That’s obsession. And it’s exactly how the new DCU feels now: relentless. The film itself, set for release on July 9, 2027, will reunite David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, this time forced into an uneasy alliance against Brainiac (Lars Eidinger). Rachel Brosnahan returns as Lois Lane, and the roster expands with Milly Alcock as Supergirl and Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern, John Stewart, finally stepping into his own.
Gunn’s been clear before: he knew the arc beyond this. He spoke of ‘a couple more’ films under his direction. Whether that means another DCU chapter or a pivot remains unconfirmed. What’s certain?
He’s not letting go. Not yet. The next draft is already being written. The next story is already breathing.
And the world hasn’t even seen the last frame of this one.
