James Gunn to Direct Next DC Super-Family Film

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav confirmed that James Gunn will write and direct the next film in DC Studios' 'Super-Family,' following the global box office success of 'Superman' starring David Corenswet, which has surpassed $550 million. Gunn has acknowledged he is working on a new Superman-related project but has avoided calling it a direct sequel, keeping details about the film under wraps. The DC franchise's upcoming projects include 'Supergirl,' 'Clayface,' and 'Peacemaker' Season 2, along with 'The Batman: Part II,' which starts filming in spring 2026 with Robert Pattinson. Gunn and co-chair Peter Safran are developing a 10-year plan for the DC Universe, promising each film will have its own distinct tone and style. The strong performance of 'Superman' has strengthened DC Studios' position as a competitor to Marvel. More updates are expected as Gunn's 'Super-Family' film develops and the DC slate expands.
