James Gunn says he's working on a follow-up to his upcoming Superman movie – but it's not necessarily a straightforward sequel.
"What I'm working on is in some way…I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes," Gunn said in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly when asked if a sequel was in the works. "But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily."
Intriguing. A follow-up movie that's not a cut and dry sequel could imply a crossover with other characters – maybe one (or more) of the Man of Steel's Justice League counterparts? Gunn dismissed that theory pretty swiftly, telling EW, "There is no Justice League in this world… not yet."
But back to Superman. David Corenswet is taking on the titular role in Gunn's new take on Clark Kent, alongside a cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen.
As for what else is next in the DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock, is currently in the works and set to hit the big screen next June, and Clayface is heading to the big screen next year, too. Gunn also recently revealed that he's working on a new Wonder Woman movie, but that doesn't have a release date yet.
Superman flies into theaters on July 11. In the meantime, get up to speed with the rest of this year's biggest movie release dates.

MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad
MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad originally appeared on The Spun. The silence was deafening during Saturday's broadcast of Reds-Cardinals when St. Louis announcer Chip Caray made an awful slip while reading an ad for the team's upcoming Disability Pride Night. Advertisement While the veteran play-by-play voice quickly corrected the unfortunate mistake where he read the word "flag" with the "l," the half a minute or so to follow made for some of the most awkward television you'll ever see. The dead air was eventually broken by partner Brad Thompson who swooped in to note Sonny Gray's pitch being called a ball. There didn't seem to be anything intentional about Caray's comment, but that didn't change how tough of a listen it was. Ironically, Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman was caught using a much more pointed use of the homophobic slur a handful of years ago when calling the team's doubleheader vs. the Kansas City Royals. Advertisement "One of the [expletive] capitals of the world. 'Reds Live,' the pregame show, presented by Ray St. Clair Roofing…" Brennaman said, before apologizing later that night. I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith... I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again, I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds, I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at FOX.

Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images© Jeff Curry-Imagn Images I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for FOX Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I'd like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Brennaman had been exiled from broadcasting for nearly four years following the incident before returning to the booth with The CW last summer.
