James Gunn says he’ll direct more DCU projects in future: “That’s what I’m here for”

James Gunn, the creative force behind DC Studios, has hinted at his ongoing commitment to writing and directing projects within the DC Universe, even after completing the script for Peacemaker Season 2.

In a recent discussion on Threads, Gunn expressed his dedication to future DCU endeavors, despite his current directing and producing commitments. He humorously acknowledged the irresistible pull of inspiration, jesting, “Well until I wake up with an idea at 3 am and can’t help myself.”

When pressed about his plans for future DCU projects, Gunn affirmed his enthusiasm, stating, “That’s what I’m here for.”

This suggests that Gunn is poised to take on additional projects within the DC Universe following Superman: Legacy and Peacemaker Season 2.

Superman: Legacy, Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot, is set to commence filming around March of this year. The film promises to explore the iconic superhero’s journey as he grapples with his dual heritage and strives to embody truth, justice, and hope in a world hungry for heroes.

Meanwhile, Peacemaker Season 2 is expected to serve as an appetizer for DCU fans, paving the way for Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. With Gunn’s creative vision steering the ship, the future looks bright for the DC Universe.
