James Gunn is clearly excited about the highly-anticipated Superman: Legacy and has decided to share some additional insight into the movie.
The co-head of DC Studios, who is also helming the superhero project, recently took to Threads to tease the creative planning into the movie with a storyboard shot.
“Spoiler??!! Well, probably not,” he wrote in the caption. “I’m constantly drawing Superman Legacy shots and storyboards all over everything. Here’s one I just sent to my department heads to understand how tight a shot was going to be we had been discussing.”
When a fan followed up with a question, asking what was happening in the image, Gunn added, “The camera is moving back with the character. For me, the full arrows are camera movement, the thin arrows are subject movement.”
Though details surrounding the film’s plot have been kept under wraps, casting has ramped up in recent weeks following the actors strike ending. It was previously announced that David Corenswet will take on the title role as the iconic superhero, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher. Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced and Nathan Fillion are also in the cast as heroes Metamorpho, Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, respectively.
Gunn also offered an update on where Superman’s costume and the film’s music score currently stand.
“The costume is mostly done but we’re still going back and forth on some elements,” the filmmaker said. “A lot of the score – maybe even most of the major themes – have already been written.”
After another fan asked why the movie’s composer hasn’t been announced publicly yet, Gunn explained that he’s not sure if a deal has closed yet.
“I have to check,” he said. “(And yes I know that sounds crazy since so much of the score has been written, but when you’re riding the waves of inspiration, what are you going to do? I wrote most of Peacemaker and all of Creature Commandos before I had a closed deal!)
Superman: Legacy is expected to arrive in theaters July 11, 2025.
