In a recent interview with Collider, Gunn revealed that the treatment for the sequel is complete and that production scheduling is already underway.
"We’re scheduling it now," Gunn said. "I’m totally done with the treatment... We’re planning out when we’re going to shoot that. It’s going to be much sooner rather than later.” He emphasized the detailed nature of his treatments, describing them as "60-page treatments with dialogue and everything."
'Peacemaker' Season 2: A DCU Blueprint
But that's not all! Gunn also teased the significant role that 'Peacemaker' Season 2 will play in shaping the future of the DC Universe. Premiering recently in New York, the new season promises to be a crucial piece of the DCU puzzle. As Gunn, now co-head of DC Studios, explained to The Hollywood Reporter, 'Peacemaker' will directly connect to 'Superman' and set the stage for the rest of the DCU.
"Superman leads directly into Peacemaker… Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker, it’s incredibly important,” Gunn stated. He also hinted at exciting guest appearances and the return of familiar faces from 'Superman'.
A Connected DC Universe
John Cena, who stars as Peacemaker, reinforced the idea of a unified DCU: "Instead of stand-alone properties, all of the DCU is now connected." This interconnectedness suggests a more cohesive and expansive storyline across various DC projects.
So, buckle up, DC fans! With James Gunn at the helm, the future of 'Superman' and the DCU looks incredibly promising. Expect more news and developments in the coming months!
