Currently, Gunn is more focused onSuperman: Legacy.Written and directed by Gunn himself, the newSupermanmovie is in development and the director is quite excited about it. Gunn posted on Threads,
“Superman: Legacy opens two years from today. It may seem far away to many of you, but it’s close to me!”
“We have a lot to do between now and then. But I haven’t been more excited about a project in forever… and this cast, slowly coming together… holy cow…”
As of now, it is highly unlikely that a newJustice Leaguelive-action will roll out anytime soon but certainly, the animated version is an indication of a potential unification of the major DC characters. But if it happens, it will take time because DC is in the early stages of rebooting the major characters and movies.
