Gunn and Safran announced in January 2023 that they officially had a new ten-year plan for DC, shooting for two films a year and two HBO Max series a year. Kicking off the new plan will be Superman: Legacy, the first film in what Safran and Gunn call DCU's Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
Is there going to be a new Superman for James Gunn?

There are several reasons the film didn't perform well at the box office, such as dwindling interest in DC heroes and the character's lack of popularity. However, a few reasons for Blue Beetle's poor performance could be foreshadowing other issues that Gunn will have a hard time escaping while building his universe.
However, it underperformed at the box office, grossing $131 million worldwide against a production budget of $104–125 million, which made it the lowest-grossing film in the DCEU.
