Yes, I’m going to direct Superman Legacy.

“Yes, I’m going to direct Superman Legacy, which will be released on July 11, 2025. My brother Matt told me that when he saw the release date of the movie, he started crying. I asked him why. He said, “Dude. It’s my father’s birthday. I could not understand”– said the Guardians of the Galaxy.

“I didn’t get it. I lost my dad almost three years ago. He was my best friend. He didn’t understand me when I was a kid, but he supported my love for comics and movies.”he continued.

“It’s been a long road to get here. Superman was offered to me years ago. At first I turned it down because I still didn’t know how to give Superman the dignity he deserves in a unique, fun and emotional way.”revealed by James Gunn.

It has come a long way. I was offered Superman years ago. At first I refused because I still didn’t know how to give Superman the credit he deserves.

“Then, just over a year ago, I found a solution that revolved around Superman’s heritage, how his Kryptonian aristocratic parents and his Kansas farmer parents influenced him and the choices he made.he explained.

“So I chose to take on the script. But I didn’t want to direct it, despite constant pressure from Peter Safran and others to take the helm (sorry, Peter).”– said the film director.

Just because I can write something doesn’t mean I feel visually and emotionally strong enough within myself to dedicate two years of my life to making it happen, let alone a project of this magnitude.

“The end of this story is that I love this script and I can’t wait to start this adventure.”James Gunn concluded, clearly excited at the idea of ​​taking on this new adventure for the Last Son of Krypton.

This Superman legacy in particular should revolve around the Kent farm exploring father-son relationships, as James Gunn suggests in a watermark on Twitter when he mourns his father.
