Hollywood is in the middle of another WGA Writers Strike, with the last one lasting 100 days from November 2007 to February 2008. Whether this new one will go for nearly as long or perhaps longer remains to be seen, but for now, various TV shows are already feeling the effects of the writers strike, and it’ll obviously start affecting film productions too. However, word’s come in that Superman: Legacy, which DC Studios co-head James Gunn is directing and writing, is safe on the scripting side of things.
As the first upcoming DC movie slated for the new DC Universe’s Chapter One slate of projects, there’s a lot riding on Superman: Legacy, the first standalone theatrical Superman movie to be released since Man of Steel in 2013. Well, according to The Wrap, Gunn turned in his first draft last week, mere days before before the writers strike kicked off. As such, this event is not expected to interfere with the timetable, with Legacy’s preproduction having begun last month and principal photography expected to start around February 2024.
