Superman 2: James Gunn Reveals What Batman Crossovers Won't Happen in Sequel
What is the plan for Batman and Superman crossovers in the DCU?
Speaking to Josh Horowitz during a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn was asked what, if anything, he could say about his next movie. Gunn said that the next film he's writing isn't a strict Superman sequel, but that Superman is 'very important' to it, and also said fans wouldn't have to worry about it being another 'Batman vs. Superman' film.
'Superman is very important,' Gunn said. 'And it's not Batman versus Superman.' When asked if the movie would be a World's Finest film featuring Batman, Gunn also shook his head, signaling that wouldn't be the case.
Gunn was also confirmed that this mysterious film will be the next movie he makes, and that fans will hear about it 'sooner rather than later,' but wouldn't give an exact update on when that might be.
As of now, it remains unclear if the next film Gunn does will end up being all about Superman. It seems that the film won't be a direct follow-up to 2025's Superman, but Gunn does know exactly how important David Corenswet's Superman is to the DCU as a whole.

British actor Terence Stamp, ‘Superman' star and famed figure of swinging London, dies at 87
Terence Stamp, the British actor who became synonymous with Swinging London in the 1960s, has died, his family said Sunday, according to Reuters. He was 87 years old. Stamp first came to prominence when he took on the titular role in the 1962 film 'Billy Budd.' The black and white drama, directed by Peter Ustinov, who also starred, saw Stamp nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor - the only Oscar nomination of his lengthy career. He went on to star in a host of films in the 1960s, among them John Schlesinger's Thomas Hardy adaptation 'Far From the Madding Crowd' and Ken Loach's first feature film, 'Poor Cow.' CNN has reached out to his representatives for confirmation of his death. He was a star who rose from humble beginnings in London's East End, about as far from Hollywood as you can get. He was born on July 22, 1938, to parents Ethel and Thomas, a merchant seaman. In a 2013 interview with the British Film Institute (BFI), Stamp revealed that his father tried to deter him from a career in showbiz. 'He genuinely believed that people like us didn't do things like that,' he said. But his mother, he said, 'loved every second of it.' 'In retrospect, my mother must have always wanted me to do it and must have wished that she could have been more supportive. But my dad was the head of the family and I never really knew what he thought of it because he was of that generation. 'He was a merchant seaman, he shovelled coal, and in that confined living quarters any show of emotion would have been considered unbearably flash.' Stamp would become one of the biggest figures of 1960s London, romantically linked to model Jean Shrimpton and actresses Julie Christie - his 'Far From the Madding Crowd' co-star - and Brigitte Bardot. His only marriage came in 2002 - to an Australian pharmacist 35 years his junior - but that lasted just six years, according to the Guardian. Stamp famously roomed with fellow actor Michael Caine, who was also a rising star at the time. The pair lost touch, however, as he disclosed in an interview with The Guardian newspaper in 2015. 'We just went different ways. I can understand it: in many ways he was much more mature than me,' he said of Caine, who was five years older. 'Caine gave me all my early values, like making sure you were doing good stuff, waiting for the right things – then as soon as he got away he did exactly the opposite. Went from one movie to another.' After a few years away from the screen, Stamp appeared in the 1978 blockbuster 'Superman' as the superhero's adversary, General Zod. He reprised the role of the comic book villain in the sequel two years later. Ironically, more than two decades later Stamp went on to voice the role of Superman's father Jor-El in the TV series 'Smallville.' His many screen credits also included his role as drag queen Bernadette in the 1990s Australian comedy 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.' Of his eclectic career - including roles in Hollywood's 'Wall Street' and 'The Adjustment Bureau' - he told the Guardian that he had no ambitions, adding: 'I've had bad experiences and things that didn't work out; my love for film sometimes diminishes but then it just resurrects itself. 'I never have to gee myself up, or demand a huge wage to get out of bed in the morning. I've done crap, because sometimes I didn't have the rent. But when I've got the rent, I want to do the best I can.'

Terence Stamp, General Zod in 'Superman' and 'Billy Budd,' dead at 87
Terence Stamp, the British actor known for his roles in "Billy Budd," "Superman" and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," has died. He was 87. Stamp's death on Sunday was disclosed in a death notice published online, according to The Associated Press. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," his family said in a statement to Reuters. Throughout his six-decade career, Stamp — who was nominated for an Oscar for his film debut role in the 1962 film "Billy Budd" — made a name for himself with roles such as General Zod in "Superman" and "Superman II," Freddie Clegg in "The Collector," and Sergeant Troy in "Far From the Madding Crowd." A representative for Stamp did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Born in London in 1938, Stamp found his passion for film at a young age. His father was in the Merchant Navy and spent much of Stamp's childhood away from the family. As a child, Stamp experienced the World War II bombing of London. "The first film I ever saw was called 'Beau Geste,' with Gary Cooper," he told BFI in 2013. "My mother took me to see that. I was probably under 4 years old. It was Cooper playing a soldier in the Foreign Legion. I didn't realize the impact, but it made an indelible impression on me." "It wasn't until we got our first TV — I would've been about 17 I think, and I was already at work — that I started saying things like, 'Oh, I could do that,'" he told BFI. "My dad just turned me off it. He was probably trying to save me a lot of aggro. He genuinely believed that people like us didn't do things like that." After scoring a Golden Globe Award for his role in "Billy Budd," Stamp became one of the most sought-out actors in the 60s. However, everything seemed to take a turn as a new decade approached. "It's a mystery to me," he told The Guardian in 2015. "I was in my prime. When the 1960s ended, I just ended with it. I remember my agent telling me: 'They are all looking for a young Terence Stamp.' And I thought: 'I am young.' I was 31, 32. I couldn't believe it." "During that time away from the screen, I had transmuted myself," he added. "I no longer saw myself as a leading man. What had happened inside of me enabled me to take the role and not feel embarrassed or depressed about playing the villain. I just decided I was a character actor now and I can do anything." After starring opposite Christopher Reeve in the 1978 "Superman," work picked up for Stamp with roles in the 1984 film "The Hit," 1986's "Legal Eagles," Oliver Stone's 1987 "Wall Street," "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace," and more. Stamp was married to Elizabeth O'Rourke from 2002-08. He did not have children.
