Love this flick but I'm always hesitant when studios catch a good one and start fast tracking productions. It took Gunn 3 years to make this movie, MAYBE that's part of what made it so good.
Superman (2025) started filming in February 2024 and ended in July 2024. And then came out a year later.

Anyway, Gunn said that he's finished with the "treatment" (outline of the script) for the sequel. The main actors are also already cast, so there's even less work to do. He just has to write the script and then start filming.

The physical stuff, sure.

But they approached him in 2018 or some shyt, then he had ideas but didn't feel like he could do it until late 2022. That's like 4 years of mulling it over before he actually felt confident enough to build on it. That's where ideas get scrapped and others gestate properly..

With this timeline they'll pretty much be forced to make whatever treatment he just now came up with, with minimal time to course correct.

Not saying it's not possible, he could've spent the 5 years already thinking about sequels as well. I think the track record for Hollywood, and especially Warner Brothers, fast tracking movies isn't great though.

Again with minor Jor-El quibble aside I am all in for this Superman flick, so I'll be there day one for the next one.

:mjlol:Yeah it’s too early for a sequel. Gunn needs to chill, let this movie marinate more, listen/read some of the criticisms from the first movie, let the next few DCU projects shine, and then start writing a sequel. :ufdup:Don’t rush this shyt Gunn.

Folks actually saw this movie and thought it was anything other than a 5.5/10?


Good Lord I need my money back. Netflix level movie. Lex Luthor was the only real standout, everything else:unimpressed:

This movie finally made me accept that this shyt isn't written for my generation anymore.

Everything has to be quips and lighthearted and superficial. Everyone is a clown. Do people really behave like this?
That's what people expect from comic book movies since MCU was hitting big.
I liked Superman for what it was but I completely understand where you are coming from.
