The DC Studios co-chair hinted the next Superman project may not be a direct sequel, leaving local fans to wonder if Cleveland will return as Metropolis.

Update: Threads-advocate James Gunn has returned to the social media platform to clarify that the "sequel" isn't Superman 2, but the same sequel-adjacent project he's previously discussed: "This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It's not "Superman 2."'

Director James Gunn’s “Superman” released in theaters July 11. Its rare alignment of high scores suggests Gunn’s reboot isn't another seat filler.
