James Gunn is set to direct “Superman: Legacy.”
The irreverent filmmaker, who serves as chairman and CEO of DC Studios with partner Peter Safran, has revealed that he will helm a previously-announced reboot of the Superman franchise. Gunn also wrote the screenplay, and Safran will produce.
“Superman: Legacy” also released its first plot synopsis, saying the film “tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
“Superman: Legacy” is the first in a planned universe of cross-platform storytelling (presumably one that will mingle with streaming projects for HBO Max) in a Phase 1 the studio is calling “Gods and Monsters.” Cast has not yet been announced, but the film is dated for a global theatrical release on on July 11, 2025.

KELLY THOMPSON & LEONARDO ROMERO LAUNCHING NEW 'BIRDS OF PREY' FOR DC THIS FALL06/06/23 @ 12:28 pm EST
Source: ComicBook | Categories: DC | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
A fan-favorite team is coming back to the DC Universe.
Writer Kelly Thompson has announced on Twitter that a new, ongoing
Birds of Prey series is coming to DC this fall. While details on the series were few, Thompson wrote in the tweet that the series would feature Black Canary "building the most dangerous Birds of Prey team yet". The series will arrive in September. Thompson will be joined by Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire on art. Thompson also made the announcement on her Substack.
The new series marks the first DC series for Thompson whose run on Marvel's
Captain Marvel ends this month. It also sees Thompson reteaming with
Hawkeye creative partners Romero and Bellaire.
Thompson teased that the new
Birds of Prey book won't simply be a revisit of what fans have seen before. As fans may recall, the Birds of Prey team has traditionally consisted of Black Canary, Huntress, and Barbara Gordon, though there have been other members over the years, including Lady Blackhawk, Katana, Manhunter, and more.
"I'll offer ONE hint: You guys know I'm not just going to bring back an exact team that's already existed, right?" Thompson wrote. (via

“The hit first season of Impact Winter combined extraordinary storytelling with the highest-quality production value and performances. We’re delighted to deliver two new seasons of this powerful series that has captivated audiences across the globe,” said Zola Mashariki, Head of Audible Studios. “With the addition of new characters and a similarly immersive soundscape, we are confident that this epic tale will continue to provide listeners with a uniquely entertaining experience.”
