HOT: James Gunn says the ‘SUPERMAN LEGACY’ script is 99.9% done

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that James Gunn says the ‘SUPERMAN LEGACY’ script is 99.9% done.

James Gunn and Peter Safran were tapped to be the co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios last year, and Gunn’s first big project is Superman: Legacy. The cast announcements have been coming along with David Corenswet confirmed to play Superman, Nicholas Hoult signed on as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and more. The movie is currently slated to be released in 2025, and some fans are wondering how Gunn’s script is coming along. 

Gunn recently took to Threads to share that his script for the DC reboot is almost complete. “99.9%,” Gunn revealed when asked how far along he was with writing Superman: Legacy. “I’m always changing small things but it’s been essentially done since well before the strike.

Following weeks of discussion to renegotiate the contract between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers which saw the latter refuse to agree to better pay terms, protection against the use of AI as a replacement for writers, and insurance for writers, many TV shows and films have halted production as the decision to strike was made. With writers obviously playing a key part in the development of film and TV, one would think the decision to go ahead with production without them would be unwise (and one would be right), however, that hasn’t stopped House of the Dragon from continuing to film Season 2 regardless. In a move reminiscent of the once-great series Heroes, which similarly continued with the production of its second season during the WGA’s strike during 2007 and 2008, and as a result, faced an extreme drop in quality, the decision to do so is an unenviable one.
