James Gunn may be pulling double duty on DC Universe's Superman: Legacy movie, as he isn't only writing it but also directing it. The DCEU is getting closer to its end with only a few movies left that will be rolling out in 2023. However, a new DC Universe is on its way from DC Studios, with Gunn and Peter Safran serving as co-CEOs. In late January 2023, the duo announced the first movies and TV shows that are coming from the DC Universe. Called Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters," more projects will get revealed later in the year. One of the confirmed films is Superman: Legacy with Gunn officially writing the script.
Over the last few months, there have been reports that Gunn would seemingly also direct the DC Universe installment. Nothing had been set into stone regarding Gunn's Superman: Legacy directing possibilities.
It appears that Gunn is indeed pulling double duty on Superman: Legacy. In a recent interview with Comic Pop (via @John_ElSuperman,) DC Comics scribe and DC Universe architect Tom King seemingly let it slip that Gunn is actually directing the new Superman reboot. Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios have yet to make any statements on this story.
