The DC Revolution Begins: James Gunn Reveals the Fate of Superman & Peacemaker

The rumor mill was churning, but now there is clarity: David Corenswet will once again portray the iconic role of Superman. James Gunn recently confirmed that the sequel to the successful "Superman" film is already in the starting blocks and will be part of a larger "Superman Saga." The "treatment" – a very detailed plot outline – for the next story has already been completed.

"I have already completed the treatment for the next story in what I will call the 'Superman Saga'," Gunn revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He added that the production is "not too far off," which gives fans hope for a soon-to-start filming. This is crucial news for everyone eagerly following how the new DCU establishes and develops its core characters.

The Heart of the DCU: Peacemaker Season 2 as a Bridge

A key to Gunn's vision of a deeply interconnected DCU is the second season of "Peacemaker." The series, starring John Cena, will play a crucial role in connecting the various storylines of the universe.

"It's a big part, definitely, 'Superman' leads directly to 'Peacemaker'," explained Gunn. He emphasized that the series, which targets an adult audience, is "incredibly important" to prepare the rest of the DCU in this season. John Cena himself confirmed that the second season will "drive the narrative forward" rather than function as a standalone story. "The whole of the DCU – it leads the '11th Street Kids' through their next adventure, but it also has a lot to do with the future development of the DCU," said Cena. Fans can look forward to numerous guest appearances and characters already introduced in "Superman." Gunn himself is full of enthusiasm: "I don't think I've ever done anything that I love more than this season of Peacemaker."

A Success Story Continues

The current "Superman" film was already a box office hit, grossing an impressive 589 million US dollars worldwide, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of 2025. This underscores the strong foundation on which James Gunn is building the future DCU. In addition to the "Superman Saga" and "Peacemaker Season 2," the "Supergirl" film is also planned for June 2026, further underpinning Gunn's ambitious plans for a cohesive and exciting superhero universe.

The future of the DCU looks promising. With a clear vision and a deep interconnection of storylines, James Gunn promises to take fans on an epic journey that will captivate them time and again.
