The tenure of James Gunn within the DC universe isn’t conclusively over following Superman, since he has Justice League still lingering in the recesses of his thoughts. However, there remains uncertainty as to whether David Corenswet‘s character will feature in this upcoming project.
Let’s not jump the gun – our revamped version of Superman still hasn’t had his standalone film debut yet. The movie is set to release on July 11, 2025, and it will delve into the tale of Clark Kent aka Superman as he navigates his Kryptonian roots alongside his adoptive family in Smallville, Kansas.
2021 started off with a gaming-fueled frenzy about
The direction Supe’s story takes next remains unclear, yet it’s certain that Gunn has some exciting projects in store. Among these possibilities, it seems that a revamped Justice League could be on the horizon, but the specifics – such as whether Corenswet will reappear – still remain to be seen.
James Gunn’s Justice League “awesome” for David Corenswet’s Superman
As a thrilled fan, I can’t help but express my excitement when hearing rumors about potential Justice League plans! However, I try not to speculate too much since it would be disappointing to build expectations only for them to lead elsewhere.
I prefer to remain unaware of things and be surprised later by James. If he’s thinking about the Justice League, that’s fine with me. I’ll keep it in the back of my mind and let events unfold naturally.
Rest assured, the Justice League project is indeed underway; it’s merely a matter of timing according to Gunn. When asked about the team-up, he simply replied “of course,” but clarified that currently, there isn’t a Justice League in this universe… not just yet. He also hinted at broader plans for the DCU with a casual “sure.
Based on what we know so far, Gunn’s interpretation of Justice League is expected to be significantly distinct from the 2017 version. According to the comics, the team consists of Green Lantern, Flash, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. In another universe called Prime Earth, Cyborg and Shazam were also part of the team.
It’s probable that a new group of actors will be brought in for the upcoming Wonder Woman movie instead of Gal Gadot or Jason Momoa reprising their roles. Although no castings have been finalized as of yet, Adria Arjona is currently the top choice among fans to take on the role of Wonder Woman.
It’s quite possible that Supergirl will appear in some capacity, as Gunn has stated she is one of the key characters in his plans for the franchise (alongside Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman). On the other hand, it remains uncertain if Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Batman will reappear in Justice League, given that The Batman 2 won’t hit theaters until more than two years from now.
