Recently, James Gunn took to Threads to discuss the fate of the Brightburn sequel. According to Gunn, a Brightburn sequel is not in the works, at least for the next few years. However, several months ago, Deadline had reported that a Brightburn sequel was in development, with James Gunn lined up as producer. Unfortunately, James Gunn did not mention what would prevent a sequel to the film from being made in the near future.
Is that because James Gunn is busy with various DCU Reboot projects? Meanwhile, the film Brightburn, which was released in 2019, has a cliffhanger ending regarding the fate of the main character. Brightburn itself is a horror film directed by David Yarovesky. The film tells the story of a husband and wife couple, Tori and Kyle Breyer, who discover a baby from outer space who fell to Earth.
They raise the child as Brandon, hiding his mysterious origins. As he grows older, Brandon exhibits superpowers such as invulnerability to weapons, incredible speed, and strength that makes him different from ordinary humans. However, as time progressed, Brandon began to show an increasingly strong dark and cruel side. He also does not hesitate to kill the people he loves, and destroys anything that gets in his way.
Brandon begins a series of violent acts, using his powers to commit crimes and hide his identity. Tori and Kyle must face the reality that the child they love may not be a hero, but rather a terrible threat. This is not your average superhero film, and offers a darker tone. The main character himself does have powers similar to Superman, especially if you look at his character's background.
The film stars several names such as Elizabeth Banks and David Denman who play the roles of husband and wife, Tori and Kyle Breyer. Jackson A. Dunn plays the character Brandon Breyer. Brightburn received positive reviews, so it's natural that this film is planned for a sequel. But it is not known when this film will get a sequel soon. Even though people are really looking forward to this film. Let's just wait, geeks, for the development of this film.
