After initially declining years ago, James Gunn is directing 'Superman: Legacy'

My brother Matt told me when he saw the release date he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, ‘Dude, it’s Dad’s birthday.’ I hadn’t realized. I lost my Dad almost three years ago. He was my best friend. He didn’t understand me as a kid, but he supported my love of comics and my love of film and I wouldn’t be making this movie now without him.”

He accompanied the announcement with an image from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s “All-Star Superman” series, which may indicate the film’s inspirations.‘Shazam!’ Star Zachary Levi Defends New DC Studios Heads: ‘Give Them Time To Make Something Special’ “I was offered Superman years ago—I initially said no because I didn’t have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved,” Gunn continued.

“Just because I write something doesn’t mean I feel it in my bones, visually and emotionally, enough to spend over two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude. But, the long and the short of it is, I love this script, and I’m incredibly excited as we begin this journey.”
