James Gunn Announces Start Date for Superman: Legacy and Teases Emotional Portrayal of Clark Kent.

James Gunn's upcoming film, Superman: Legacy, will begin filming in January 2024, but its previously announced 2025 release date may be optimistic due to the ongoing Hollywood writer's strike. The film is seen as the "true" introduction of the DC Universe under Gunn's supervision, and its success is crucial for Warner Bros. Discovery as they try to compete with Marvel at the box office. The direction of the film may be influenced by how fans react to other DCU projects, such as The Flash, which will establish a new status quo for the DC Universe.
