James Gunn's newest installment in establishing a new DC Universe (DCU), following the failure of the DCEU, is kicking off with a brand-new Superman movie. The film is set to feature the classic trio of any Superman story: Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor. Additionally, the story will include potential Justice League members such as Guy Gardner's Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho. James Gunn has looked to the source material as inspiration for his iteration, using books such as All Star Superman and Superman For All Seasons as reference points. The events of Superman will take place after the first season of Creature Commandos, with other projects like Peacemaker Season 2 set to follow. James Gunn has emphasized the importance of leveraging iconic characters like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to support the introduction of lesser-known figures. While the DCU may greenlight projects featuring popular heroes like The Flash or Aquaman, it is equally open to producing films about more niche characters, such as Clayface. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently slated to be the second major DCU film, with Jason Momoa reportedly set to play Lobo in a potential minor role.
