James Gunn Shares "Superman: Legacy" Costume and Score Updates
Posted on December 15, 2023 by Neil Cole
As pre-production on "Superman: Legacy" continues to move forward, director James Gunn has provided an update via Threads on the Man of Steel's suit when asked if it will be "more classic, modern, or something totally new and different."
"All of the above," stated Gunn. "The costume is mostly done but we're still going back and forth on some elements. A lot of the score - maybe even most of the major themes - have already been written."
When asked why a composer has not yet been announced, Gunn noted, "I'm not sure the deal is closed yet. I have to check... And yes I know that sounds crazy since so much of the score has been written, but when you’re riding the waves of inspiration, what are you going to do? I wrote most of Peacemaker and all of Creature Commandos before I had a closed deal!"
"It's uncommon but I've been having scores written before the movies are shot - we play the music on set - all the way back to Super."
Gunn also touched on the various comic book story-arcs that are inspiring his approach to "Superman: Legacy" but noted that the overall basis of the film is not based on one specific title.
"There are a lot of elements in 'Birthright' that have inspired Legacy, just as there are elements from 'All Star', 'For All Seasons', back to the original Siegel and Shuster stories, and much, much more."
"Superman: Legacy" is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
