James Gunn‘s last directorial effort in the MCU — Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — has come out and he's now shifting gears to DC full-time as the co-head of the DCU with Peter Safran. As he heads into production on Superman: Legacy, the director addresses the never-ending rumors surrounding his future slate.
“I'm getting barraged with bulls**t DC rumors this morning,” said Gunn in a Tweet.
He continued, “I'll just reiterate the general rule not to believe anything unless it comes from me or Peter [Safran]. But, unless it's especially egregious, I'm going to slow down on calling s**t out (Sorry, I know it's one of my favorite traditions). 1) Some people are making up lies to get attention from me or to get clicks & I don't want to encourage that. 2) I've read a hundred rumors this morning. ONE of them is half-true. So I don't want to be used as a way for people to throw nonsense at the wall until something sticks. 3) I'm storyboarding Superman Legacy and don't have the time! Have a great day!”
In addition to calling out the attention seekers on Twitter, the biggest revelation from Gunn's tweet has to be that he's storyboarding Superman: Legacy. We knew that he was in pre-production on the film, but storyboarding means that we're one step closer to having his vision fully realized.
Twitter user MrDarkGG (@MrDarkGG) asked, “You're storyboarding based on the first draft?”
“It's far from the first draft,” replied Gunn, meaning that the film's really is in full swing.
It’s far from the first draft.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was James Gunn's swan song to the MCU. It brought the team back together for one last ride and the gang back together. The film has grossed over $659 million during its two-and-a-half weeks in theaters so far.
