James Gunn Says We’re Not Getting a ‘Brightburn’ Sequel

Reimagining Superman as a villainous character sure sounds like an ambitious idea, but David Yarovesky took on the challenge with his 2019 horror film, Brightburn. While the movie has left audiences divisive since its release to theaters (complete with a 57% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes), some — at one point — have expected the film to spawn an immediate sequel, especially considering the movie's conclusion hinted at a potential continuation of Brandon's story and the evil he is yet to become. However, despite having previously reported that a second Brightburn movie is still happening, James Gunn has just given a disappointing update on the sequel.
