Now, Superman to save the world

While Henry Cavill has previously played the role, he won’t return for this edition

Filmmaker James Gunn has announced that pre-production on Superman: Legacy has officially begun. Sharing the news on his social media pages, the filmmaker posted a picture of the script which he wrote, only revealing the cover page.

“I’m honoured to be a part of the legacy. And what better day than #SupermanAnniversary Day to dive fully into early pre-production on #SupermanLegacy? (sic)” he wrote in the caption, adding, “Costumes, production design, and more, are now up and running.”

On Twitter, Gunn also engaged in a conversation with fans who wondered who gave him notes on the script if he, at the same time, is the co-head of DC Studios. “Listening to constructive criticism is the lifeblood for any writer,” he responded to the question, as per reports.

“So, as the head of DC Studios, I give the script to people I trust and get their thoughts about what works well and what could work better, so I can improve the script,” he explained. “I’ve always tried to take the notes that will actually make the film better, and I argue about the ones I think won’t work.”

Gunn will also serve as director for Superman: Legacy based on the script he co-wrote. The film marks the first project in the new DC Universe as supervised by Gunn, and his studios co-head, Peter Safran.
