As James Gunn's DCU launches with the premiere of 'Superman', his Marvel days appear to be in the past for now.

James Gunn has officially planted his flag in the DC Universe with Superman , and he’s not looking back. During a recent episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard , Gunn was asked if he felt any guilt about leaving Marvel for DC.

James Gunn's newest film, Superman, featuring David Corenswet as the iconic Man of Steel, transcends a mere reboot; it serves as a nuanced and deliberate commentary on the construction of superhero universes.

Now Gunn has revealed on X another look at Alcock’s Supergirl in the first poster for the upcoming “Supergirl” movie from director Craig Gillespie, which opens in theaters June 26, 2026.

Moving over to DC Films would have been a lateral move with mammoth expectations. Whereas James Gunn's ascendance to DC Films co-CEO with producer Peter Safran is more of a promotion, as he only ran a corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Superman is often viewed as an old-fashioned hero, but did James Gunn’s new ‘Superman’ film manage to reboot the character for the modern world?

In a bid to kickoff a new era for DC Studios, James Gunn’s “Superman” opened with $122 million in U.S. and Canada ticket sales over the weekend.
