James Gunn and Peter Safran are about to lift the curtain on the new DC Universe with the debut of Superman. But before the man of steel can take flight, Gunn has taken to building up what will be coming in the wake of the film. 

Once Superman hits the big screen, the next theatrical project that DC has planned is for Supergirl. With House Of The Dragon’s Milly Alcock in the leading role, the film was originally said to be titled Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow. 

While talking to Rolling Stone, Gunn, who is producing the film, confirmed that the film has been retitled to just Supergirl, dropping the subtitle. When asking him about that and the Superman: Legacy retitle, as well, Gunn said he was getting tired of subtitles being pinned onto so many superhero projects, according to Screenrant. 

With Supergirl coming after Superman, the DC Universe still has its sights set on other DC mainstays as well, such as Batman or Wonder Woman. 

Rolling Stone got a good lay of the land when it comes to DC from Gunn as Screenrant reports, with Gunn avoiding possible rumor spreading, especially when it comes to how Batman and Wonder Woman will be introduced. Gunn explained that he’s really trying to make a Batman that will fit into the world he’s setting up, and won’t clash with the ongoing Matt Reeves’ films, or even other takes of Batman. He has a specific portrayal in mind that he wants to bring to life properly. 

When speaking about Wonder Woman, he said that it’s a similar case, but not to the same degree as Batman, given that there’s been less takes on her than there has been Batman. 

He added on to that, saying that it would be too easy to make a boring take on the character, and that’s something he’s trying to avoid. 

However, as Screenrant also noted, some projects aren’t as lucky as others. Gunn said that there was, in fact, a project they had to cancel. He wouldn’t reveal what it was, but said that the issue boiled down to the screenplay. While he made it clear that the enthusiasm around the project was high, the script wasn’t up to snuff with what he was hoping for, and he didn’t want to continue a project with a lackluster screenplay. 

Superman flies into theaters July 11th.
