The director explained that his treatments are not common: they have up to 60 pages with complete dialogues, almost like a finished script. "It'll be sooner rather than later," Gunn assured regarding the start of filming for this new installment.
What does this sequel mean for the DC Universe?
Gunn's vision is not limited to a single film. Warner is preparing a Superman saga that will be integrated into a larger narrative universe within DC.
Although it is not known how many films will make up this phase, everything points to an ambitious plan that seeks to redefine the Man of Steel in cinema.
Upcoming projects
In addition to the sequel, Warner is moving forward with titles such as Supergirl and Clayface, which will expand the new DC Universe under Gunn's direction.
