James Gunn’s SUPERMAN: LEGACY Starts Filming in Atlanta Next Year
James Gunn’s reboot of the DC Universe starts with Superman: Legacy. The film is now in pre-production and scheduled to begin shooting in Atlanta in January 2024.
Superman Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
