DC Preparing to Unite Legendary Superhero Trio — James Gunn Confirms

Who will appear in the upcoming team-up film alongside Superman? This really is a dream team...

Director James Gunn has officially confirmed it: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman will unite in one film. But there's a catch. The Trinity won't come together right away.

As the DC Studios co-head noted, everything depends on how events unfold in the next projects.

The first step is, of course, "Superman" starring David Corenswet. This film kicks off DC's new era. It'll introduce a refreshed hero whom Gunn calls "a good man in a world that's not always good."

And already, according to ComingSoon, interest in the film is massive: over $10 million in pre-sales, with opening weekend projections ranging from $95 to $135 million.

But Gunn hints the next project won't be a direct sequel. What does this mean? We might be getting a Batman solo film or the first movie featuring the new Wonder Woman.

Speaking of which, Gunn has even hinted on social media about who he'd like to see in the role. One contender is Adria Arjona, whom he's already worked with. For Batman, fans are pushing for Brandon Sklenar from "1923," whose performance the director has also praised.

Meanwhile, in "Superman" we'll see not just iconic heroes, but a vibrant supporting team: Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Metamorpho. The universe is expanding — and it's doing so confidently and with real ambition.

So get ready: the legends are coming back. And while their team-up isn't happening immediately, the fact remains. DC is assembling the dream team once again. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com broke down the "Superman" trailer, where flying dog Krypto battles Lex Luthor's gang.
