## Summary

James Gunn was reportedly writing a third Superman film and planning a Justice League team-up before he and Peter Safran left DC Studios. The reported plans suggest the pair had mapped out the DC Universe well beyond their forthcoming film, Man of Tomorrow, though it remains unclear whether the projects will continue under new leadership.

The Hollywood Reporter said Gunn was developing a Superman trilogy, with films intended to arrive roughly every two years and potentially build towards a team-up. Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Fritz said tentative dates had been set for Superman sequels in 2029 and 2031, following a planned introduction of DCU Batman in The Brave and the Bold in 2028. Gunn said he was also writing another DC project, but gave no details.
