“I’ve already finished a treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the Superman Saga,” Gunn explained. “The treatment’s done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment, and I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”

The director did not offer any details about the film or which characters might be included. However, Gunn previously suggested that his next feature will include the Man of Steel, even if it’s not a direct sequel to Superman.

Gunn also didn’t offer any firm details on when production would start, but we do know that there are several other DC Universe projects further down the pipeline, including one that was teased at the end of Superman.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters next summer. That’s coming on top of the second season of Peacemaker, the second season of Creature Commandos, and the HBO series Lanterns, which hits HBO in 2026.

There are many projects coming in the DC Universe, even outside of the Superman Saga, in particular. Read more about the future of DC.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.
