James Gunn Superman Update: Man of Tomorrow Development

James Gunn Already Finished the Script for ‘Superman’ Sequel, ‘Man of Tomorrow‘

despite the recent announcement of a 2027 release date for the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, many were surprised by how‍ quickly it came after ⁣the ‍first film’s success. Typically, sequels⁣ don’t receive release dates until meaningful growth work has ⁤begun. However, it⁢ turns⁣ out James Gunn was‍ well ‍ahead of the game.

Responding⁣ to a fan on Threads, Gunn revealed that the entire script for Man of Tomorrow is already ⁤written, though currently undergoing ⁤extensive revisions. He stated,⁢ “All of it.Just ‍in the necessary and lengthy stage [of] rewriting and rewriting some more. It’s been a⁢ lot of fun.”

This explains why the DC team was ‍comfortable announcing a title and release date so soon after Superman hit theaters. Unlike⁣ other‍ sequels, like the upcoming Lilo & Stitch follow-up which doesn’t even have a script yet,‍ Man of Tomorrow is already well into the development process.It begs the question: when did Gunn find the time to write it?
