James Gunn Is Writing His Next Movie Following ‘Man of Tomorrow’: “Already In It”

Amid Paramount’s industry-shaking acquisition of Warner Bros., James Gunn is remaining focused on his work.

When asked if he’s ready to start writing his next film to follow Man of Tomorrow, the DC Studios co-CEO revealed he’s “already in it” while awaiting the edit for his upcoming sequel to 2025’s Superman.

“I had to do something while I was waiting for the assembly!!” wrote Gunn to a fan on Threads.

After wrapping production on Man of Tomorrow in August, the fourth film in Gunn’s new DCU franchise is set to premiere July 9, 2027 in theaters.

Meanwhile, Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran are safe amid the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger after David Ellison invited the DC Studios bosses to continue working at the company, which has been renamed to Skydance. All film units, Paramount and Warner Bros, are to report into Paramount Pictures co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.

Since Gunn and Safran stepped into their position following the WBD merger in 2022, DC Studios has released Superman and Supergirl, with Clayface premiering Oct. 23 and The Batman: Part II currently in production, scheduled for a Feb. 18, 2028 premiere.
