With the SAG-AFTRA strike over, James Gunn's Superman: Legacy plans to start filming in Spring 2024.
The Big Picture The actors strike has officially ended its 118-day run as SAG-AFTRA & Studios reached a deal for a new three-year contract — meaning that products, such as James Gunn's DC film Superman: Legacy, can now fly full steam ahead and get back to work, as filming will resume in March 2024. ICYMI: Gunn has taken over as the new co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. His vision will completely reboot the DC Extended Universe, as the films have been pretty hit or miss.
While there's been some success, like with 2017s Wonder Woman having a Rotten Tomato score of 93%, most of the DCU films have predominately been misses — we're looking at you 2011s Green Lantern. That Rotten Tomato score of 25% hurts. Hopefully, Gunn and Safran will bring in a much-needed change for the franchise. And the first step toward that is with Superman: Legacy.
With the strike ending, many priority films have released a status update on filming and release dates. Unfortunately, films like Venom 3 have been pushed back due to production delays. But there is a bright side, as the highly anticipated Gladiator 2 project, starring The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal, is taking priority. Production is fast-tracking the Ridley Scott film, as they've announced that while Pascal has a busy schedule, his role in Gladiator 2 will take priority, per Deadline.
What Will James Gunn’s ‘Superman: Legacy’ Be About? Gunn has stepped in as a hero for DC's Extended Universe in the past, as his version of 2021s The Suicide Squad was a box office success. The film grossed $168 million worldwide and recieved positive reviews — a stark contrast to the 2016 version, which was given a 26% score on Rotten Tomatoes. So, it's no surprise that the studio turned to Gunn to help provide the DCU with some much-needed support.
Well, according to Gunn, Superman: Legacy will bring a new version of Clark Kent and Lois Lane that's yet to be explored. The director took to social media to respond to fan requests surrounding his film, explaining that this won't be an origin story, stating: "I think we've seen his origin enough in film at this time!" Instead, Gunn announced that this film represents the first phase of his DC chapter. A phase that he calls "Gods and Monsters".
