Superman Legacy Reaches Major Milestone, But Casting Announcements Still Some Time Away

gamespot.com:

Writer-director James Gunn is not only the co-head of DC Studios, but he's also the writer for the next Superman movie, Superman Legacy. That film has now crossed a major milestone, as Gunn confirmed that Superman Legacy is now in «early» pre-production.

Gunn made the announcement today, April 18, to celebrate Superman Anniversary Day. What this means for Superman Legacy is that efforts to create costumes, design sets, and establish other aspects of the movie's production are now «up and running,» Gunn said.

«I'm honored to be a part of the legacy,» he said.

Gunn went on to share a few more tidbits about Superman Legacy. Starting off, he confirmed that he will not announce the actor playing Superman anytime soon. He said a casting announcement will not be made in April or May, so June is the theoretical soonest that could happen. Earlier in April, Gunn confirmed that a casting search is now underway. A casting announcement at San Diego Comic-Con in July would seem to be fitting, but that's just conjecture.

Gunn also clarified that Warner Bros. Discovery is not giving notes to Gunn and his team for Superman Legacy because WB Discovery and DC Studios are different units. Finally, Gunn reiterated that the entire script for Superman Legacy is now finished, though of course scripts can change during production.
