James Gunn may have just made fun of the details of the story for his sequel to Superman

James Gunn’S Superman He gave Dc Studios the new beginning of which it is desperately necessary. The film not only went uphill to become the superhero film with the most recessed of 2025, but also introduced fans to David CorenswetIt is fascinating, confident and fun to interpret the man of steel.

Of course, a sequel is in progress. But if you have paid attention, the discovery of Warner Bros. Superman 2. Instead, David Zaslav He was referring to the next chapter as a “Superman family” film. Gunn had previously echoed that idea revealing that he has already completed a treatment for the next “Superman Saga” film.

Here’s where things become interesting.

The next big DCU project on the release list is Supergirlthat will expand Milly AlcockThe surprise apparition like Kara Zor-El in Superman. Based on what we know, the sequel we are getting will not only concern Superman. In fact, it could be a full -blown team with Superman, Supergirl and Krypto.

A video now private behind the scenes called Adventures in the creation of Superman In short, he showed Gunn’s Rozzi Storyboard on brand 2:18. In them, Superman, Supergirl and Krypto are seen flying together.

Below them? A panel with a calm head covered with knots similar to light bulb, a not so thin part that longtime fans will recognize as Brainiac.

Although that image was not destined to ruin anything, or if they were the first storyboards, it is clear that Gunn thought of Brainiac for a while. He also admitted to having thought of using the iconic villain in Superman Before deciding on Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hault.

For those who are not familiar, Brainiac is one of Superman’s most formidable enemies. Created in 1958 by Binder Otto AND To the plastineIt has evolved over the decades, sometimes depicted as a green alien, other times as a highly advanced cyborgs. Regardless of the version, Brainiac is all about the acquisition of knowledge, usually reducing cities from the whole universe and bottling them as cosmic souvenirs. One of those cities is the capital Kryptonian, Kandor.

If Superman Lex Luthor gave us, Brainiac is the next logical step. The villain has never arrived at the live-action film, which is wild considering its status. It is as if the puzzle did not show up in anyone Batman Movies so far.

But Brainiac’s debut could have an emotional weight. In 2008 Superman: Brainiac Comic by Geoff Johns AND Gary FrankSuperman and Supergirl manage to defeat Brainiac, but not before Jonathan Kent suffers a fatal heart attack while Clark is saving the world. If Gunn is pulling from this story, we could be directed towards a moment of tears.

Superman He is now available to release home e Supergirl Will hit the rooms on June 26, 2026. As for the sequel? We will just have to wait and see what Gunn has planned.
