The observant fans wasted no time in noting the X-Men series’ inclusion of every surviving Fox actor as a farewell gesture, while Sony successfully revived all the Spider-Man iterations, and Disney is actively developing sequels for Alita. In contrast, the DC universe has struggled to conclude a Superman franchise without resorting to reboots.
Marvel Studios has enlisted the talented duo of Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin as the screenwriters for Deadpool 3, with the accomplished Shawn Levy set to helm the project. Following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, the future of the franchise seemed uncertain, as the previous two films had been produced under Fox’s banner. However, it is now official that Deadpool has transitioned into a Marvel Studios property.
Will James Gunn Be Able To Save DC With Superman: Legacy
In its nascent phase, James Gunn is actively crafting his creative vision for Superman: Legacy, a forthcoming film that he envisions as a sincere homage to the extensive Superman lore. With this project, Gunn aims to delve into the depths of heroism, seeking to unravel the very essence of embodying such a monumental role.
While the specifics of the Superman: Legacy storyline are being kept under wraps, James Gunn has offered a glimpse into his approach. In response to a comment on his Instagram page, Gunn disclosed that the film would steer clear of exploring Clark Kent’s upbringing in Smallville. This departure from the conventional narrative suggests a deviation from Superman’s traditional origins, including his birth on Krypton and subsequent arrival in Kansas.
The role of Superman in the upcoming film will be portrayed by David Corenswet. Notably, there is a ten-year age gap between Corenswet and Henry Cavill, the actor known for previously embodying the iconic superhero. The director received heavy criticism following Cavill’s exit.
Deadpool is available for streaming on Disney+.
