Gunn On Wonder Woman, Batman, “Superman 2”

Warner Bros. Pictures

A new “Wonder Woman” movie is “being written right now” according to DC Studios chief James Gunn.

EW has done a major feature piece on Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” movie and within the article he confirms the project is happening and is separate from the HBO “Paradise Island” prequel series set on Themyscira.

Of that series, he says it is “slow moving, but it’s moving”. In terms of the overall DCU, “Superman” and “Supergirl” are both filmed with the new “Batman: Brave and the Bold” in development.

Also coming from DC Studios, but outside the DCU, is Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part II” starring Robert Pattinson. Of that project, Gunn says: “What Matt’s doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary. We’re supposed to see that script shortly, and I can’t wait.”

As for a follow-up to Superman,” he says he’s already developing an “in some way” sequel to the new film, and adds: “But is it a straight-up ‘Superman’ sequel? I would not say necessarily.”

The chat comes as tickets for the Amazon Prime early screenings of the film have gone online, allowing people to check out the movie early on July 8th.
