James Gunn has officially confirmed he's directing the new Superman: Legacy movie. A new DC Universe is in the works from DC Studios, with Gunn and Peter Safran leading the charge. The DCEU will finish out this year, especially with The Flash movie resetting the entire franchise. One of the big projects coming out of the DC Universe is Superman: Legacy, with Gunn writing the reboot. Since it will focus on a younger Man of Steel, Henry Cavill is not returning for the installment. The reboot will officially arrive in theaters on July 11, 2025, as the proper beginning of the DC Universe.
