Behind the scenes, in the hallowed halls of DC Studios, a cosmic energy is brewing, unfurling an exciting canvas of anticipation. At the heart of it, is the maestro of superheroes, James Gunn - the savvy co-head of DC Studios and the acclaimed director of the eagerly-awaited blockbuster, 'Superman: Legacy'. Quite like a kid in a candy store, Gunn could barely contain his excitement as he offered us an exclusive peek into his creative process on Threads!
Intriguingly vague with an element of secrecy, he paraded a storyboard that had fans' curiosities sparked. “Spoiler??!! Well, probably not,” he chuckled virtually, adding to the suspense. He shared, “I’m constantly doodling 'Superman Legacy' shots and storyboards on everything. Here’s one I sent to my department heads to explain how a specific shot was going to unfold.”
Picture this – the camera moving back with the character. The wizard of superhero direction broke down his visual language system, stating, 'For me, the full arrows showcase camera movement while the thin arrows portray subject movement.' Ingenious, isn't it?
Keeping the entranced fans in the loop, Gunn further shared a likely casting list, a blue-ribbon affair, that's sure to quicken the collective pulse of superhero aficionados around the globe. David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced, and Nathan Fillion are set to bring life some of DC's most beloved characters.
And the twinkle in his words didn't stop there. Ever wonder what does Superman's costume look like? Or how does the music sound? Please hold your horses! Our director has your curiosity covered: 'The costume is mostly done, although we're making some tweaks'. And as for the music, 'A lot of the score – perhaps even most of the major themes – have already been created.'
Surprisingly, the anticipated film's composer remains a mystery, leading one curious fan to ask why. Gunn, being the charmer he is, replied in an entertaining and cryptic manner, saying he wasn't sure if the deal was sealed. Well, our director prioritizes creativity over contract formalities, doesn't he?
On the edge of your seats? Well, mark your calendars, because 'Superman: Legacy' is set to skyrocket into theaters on July 11, 2025. So pull up your socks and brace yourselves for an epic DC journey!
