Superman 2: James Gunn Rules Out 2 DCU Crossover Ideas Involving Batman

James Gunn has recently shared insights on what fans might anticipate with the potential release of a new Superman film, dubbed “Superman 2“, and discussed if the iconic DC superhero, Batman, will make an appearance.

What did James Gunn say about Superman 2?

During a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, Gunn revealed some details about his upcoming movie. He stated that while this next project isn’t a direct sequel to a Superman film, Superman plays a significant role in it. Fear not, fans, as this new movie won’t be another “Batman vs. Superman” tale.

Gunn emphasized that Superman is crucial and stressed that it’s not about a battle between Superman and Batman. Furthermore, he clarified that the upcoming movie won’t follow the pattern of ‘World’s Finest’ with Batman being part of it.

Director Gunn has made it clear that his upcoming, enigmatic project will be his next venture in filmmaking. He hinted that the public will learn more details about it sooner rather than later; however, he didn’t provide a specific timeline for its release.

At this point, it’s uncertain whether the next movie directed by Gunn will primarily focus on Superman. It appears that this film won’t serve as a direct sequel to the 2025 Superman production, but given the significance of David Corenswet’s Superman within the DC Universe as a whole, it seems Gunn has a clear understanding of his role.
