Gunn’s previous work in the superhero genre, notably with Marvel Studios, has garnered him praise and recognition. As he takes on this new role, fans are excited to witness his creative vision coming to life in the DC Universe.
Gunn made an appearance on actor Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast, Inside of You. And he explained how each approaches secret identities differently.
The MCU doesn’t necessarily deal much with secret identities and the resulting character duality, except in the case of Spider-Man.
Superman and Batman live in vastly different cities like Gotham and Metropolis. These aren’t known quantities like cities within the MCU, such as Marvel’s favorite playground, New York.
The DCU will be developed with more of an inspiring fantasy element. Gunn went on to express his excitement to start world-building within the DCU.
Superman: Legacy’s release date is set for July 11, 2025.
