James Gunn Reveals He's Currently Storyboarding Superman Legacy
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn offers an update on the upcoming Superman: Legacy film, confirming there are storyboards for the DCU film.
What to Expect in Superman: Legacy?
According to DC Studios' Peter Safran, the reboot film is not being developed as an origin story for the Man of Steel. The story will instead center around a?younger Superman ?as he tries to uphold his Kryptonian heritage, while staying true to the values he earned from his human upbringing. In addition, Gunn assured fans that his upcoming movie won’t be treated as a comedy, as he aims to deliver a never-before-seen adaptation of the beloved Kryptonian hero. The filmmaker also cited?Christopher Reeves’ portrayal of Superman ?as one of his inspirations for the project...
Do We Know Anything About the Plot for Superman: Legacy?
We don't know too much about the plot for?Superman: Legacy, and technically, neither does James Gunn, as he said he was only halfway through writing the film at the time of?his "Gods and Monsters" announcement . We've known for a while that?Gunn would be writing the film in addition to producing , and he did share a pretty significant detail. Unlike the original?Superman?and?Man of Steel, Gunn has confirmed that?Superman: Legacy?will not be an origin story. ?That means when this Superman takes to the skies, it won't be the first time he's done so, as he'll already have some experience protecting Earth's inhabitants as the costumed superhero. That being said, there's always the possibility that we'll see flashbacks showing Clark's days before taking on the Superman mantle.
It's also anyone's guess whether or not we'll see other popular Superman characters, such as his lifelong love interest Lois Lane, appear in the film. We expect the Daily Planet's top reporter to play a pivotal role, especially when her photographer, Jimmy Olson,?is already confirmed to appear . Still, details on the supporting cast are scarce, and that goes double for whoever the film's villain or villains might be, but given that this is a wholly new version of Superman, we're going to guess it might be someone we haven't seen on screen before. Lex Luthor and General Zod are great and all. Still, there are many other classic Superman villains to choose from, with characters like brutal alien mastermind Mongul and the morally confused Bizzaro being potential candidates. Not to mention that one of Superman's and the DC Universe as a whole's greatest villains, the kleptomaniac AI conqueror Brainiac, has yet to make an appearance in a live-action theatrical film, which is honestly pretty shocking given how popular of a villain he is. That all being said, there's a good chance that we'll see Luthor and Zod make an appearance or at the very least, get referenced...

Most people know that Kal-el, created by two Jewish teens in Cleveland, Ohio, is based on Jewish folklore. I also point out that Haaretz - a valid translation of that Hebrew word is "The Daily Planet" - could also be based on Jewish culture, and even the liberal Israeli paper of the same name. Of course, Superman has been an undocumented outer space alien refugee since first appearing in print in 1938 - a "stranger in a strange land" - common to marginalized people throughout history - including Jews.

Superman: Legacy will introduce the Man of Steel for the upcoming DCU franchise - we rundown 10 long-standing Superman movie issues the DCU can avoid.
Superman doesn't have to be the sole hero in the DCU; other heroes can be given equal emphasis.
Great!
In my [so far fan fiction] film, news reporter Clark Kent is also a hero of the story. This subverts expectations, since Superman is normally seen as most powerful. Remember that quote about the pen being mightier than the sword?

James Gunn Confirms What We All Suspected About His Superman Movie Villain
BY FELIPE RANGEL on April 5, 2024
Following some major rumors, James Gunn has cleared up the status of the DCU's first movie, revealing who is the main villain of 2025's Superman...
In my fan fiction Superman movie, reporter Clark Kent is thrown in jail.
He obtained classified information that newly elected US President Lex Luthor is being corrupted by an evil alien power.
Of course, Clark’s confidential informant source is Superman.
But Lex is very smart…
Technically speaking, Kal-el is both “illegal” - and a real outer space alien.
When Clark ‘confesses’, Lex will have Superman deported back to Krypton.
