Superman: Legacy is an upcoming reboot of the Superman franchise set to kick-off the new DC Universe. While it had previously being reported that James Gunn is set to write the film, Tom King may have accidentally confirmed that he will also be directing it in a recent interview.
Tom King is a well-known and highly-respected comic book writer, best known for his work with characters such as The Human Target and Batman. He’s also working closely with DC Studios on their new slate of films given the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film is based on his comic of the same name. In a recent interview with ComicPop Returns, King was asked about the role of fans and experts in the creation of the new DCU, and may have revealed more than he wanted.
It’s no shock to many fans that Gunn would be trying his hand at directing Superman: Legacy, as this was a project in development before he became co-chair of DC Studios with Peter Safran. What this revelation does show is how closely Gunn and the rest of his team seem to be working with the new DC Universe, with many comparable figureheads such as Kevin Feige and Kathleen Kennedy staying as producers for their respective universes. Only time will tell if this hands-on approach will pay off.
