19 Aug - James Gunn recently revealed that a sequel to "Superman" might be coming faster than previously expected.

The DC Studios co-head, who helmed the David Corenswet-starrer, said that he has completed the treatment for the follow-up film and that his team are currently scheduling production.

"I'm totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They're not regular treatments. They're 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything. And so, now I'm just turning that into a script. We're planning out when we're going to shoot that," he said.

Gunn added, "It's going to be much sooner rather than later."

The second film will now be joining the upcoming DC big screen releases that include "Supergirl", starring Milly Alcock in the lead, and "Clayface", which will be helmed by director James Watkins.

"Supergirl" will be released next year
