DC Studios is officially underway after the unveiling of their new slate, which included several new projects. On the slate were Superman: Legacy, The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and Swamp Thing. Gunn originally announced that he was writing Superman: Legacy with the intention to direct, but nothing was confirmed. Earlier this week, Tom King revealed that Gunn would indeed helm the next Superman movie, and the director has yet to debunk the story. Instead, Gunn is choosing to debunk a different rumor about a casting call for his upcoming film.
