DC Universe lovers are constantly being gifted presents courtesy of James Gunn and DC Studios. The DC Studios co-head recently announced that they Superman realm would be expanded soon.
“I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the ‘Superman Saga,'” Gunn said. “The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”
This treatment is a big step toward a major screenplay which means that Gunn has gotten the ball rolling fairly quickly. “We’re scheduling it now. I’m totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They’re not regular treatments. They’re 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything. And so, now I’m just turning that into a script. We’re planning out when we’re going to shoot that. It’s going to be much sooner rather than later.” A fully fleshed out treatment shows strong signs of a storyline with very little loose ends.
How Peacemaker Helps the Superman Saga
HBO Max series ‘Peacemaker’ is supposed to be the transition into the universe that’s currently being built. Next week, the second season of ‘Peacemaker’ starring John Cena as Christopher Smith will premiere. It’s incredible the way Gunn has blended various aspects of the universe as a method to provide hints at what’s next to come in their world. In the recent ‘Superman’ film Peacemaker made a cameo, sort of a teaser for the impending season.
Gunn has even explained how the plot line of ‘Superman’ flows into that of ‘Peacemaker.’
“It’s a big part, definitely ‘Superman’ leads directly into ‘Peacemaker,’ it should be noted that this is for adults, not for children, but ‘Superman’ leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of ‘Peacemaker’, it’s incredibly important,” Gunn said. “Lots of guest stars coming up, lots of characters that are showing up that we’ve already met in ‘Superman’.I don’t think there’s anything that I’ve ever done that I love more than this season of ‘Peacemaker’.
