James Gunn Reportedly Had Big Plans for Multiple Superman Movies and a Potential Justice League Franchise Before DC Studios Exit

James Gunn reportedly had big plans for Superman movies that may have led to the creation of a Justice League franchise, before his shock exit from DC Studios.

Yesterday, Skydance confirmed the departure of DC Studios co-CEOs Gunn and Peter Safran in a reshuffle that sees former Marvel Studios exec Jeremy Latcham take direct control over DC. The change casts doubt on the future of the DC Universe Gunn was only two years into rebooting, with question marks hanging over the planned Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the pair’s exit was a combination of studio politics (Gunn and Safran had complete control over DC Studios, but Skydance boss David Ellison allegedly had other ideas) the DCU’s box office struggles, and an apparent feeling that Latcham will deliver movies “more in line with Ellison’s broader tastes.”

What happens to the DCU? THR claimed Gunn had big plans for Superman in particular. With Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow due out next summer, the writer and director allegedly was in the middle of writing a third Superman movie, and planned to release a new Superman movie every two years before potentially evolving Superman into a Justice League franchise.

Gunn has talked openly about the potential for a superhero teamup movie in his DCU, and teased the overarching villain the likes of Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Batman would go up against. Only last month, Gunn said DC Studios was finally getting ready to cast the DCU's Batman .
