James Gunn has shared a new Superman: Legacy update that positions the upcoming DC film to break a modern Superman movie trend. Gunn is writing and directing Superman: Legacy, which will be the first movie in his and Peter Safran's new DC Universe. The DCU will reboot the hero, doing away with Henry Cavill's darker version of the character from the DCEU in favor of a new take on Superman that plans to bring him more in line with his comic book roots. Gunn recently confirmed the casting of David Corenswet as the new Superman, with the actor set to appear as Superman across movies, TV shows, animation, and video games.
