Will Lanterns take place before or after Superman?

## What we know

When asked whether Lanterns was set before or after Superman, DC Studios co-chief James Gunn answered: “After.” That’s about the in-universe timeline, not just which project comes out first.

## How specific is it?

The exact gap is still unknown. Lanterns could start days, months, or years after Superman, and there’s no confirmation that Superman himself will appear in the series.

## Which Superman?

This means Superman (2025), starring David Corenswet, in Gunn’s new DCU—not the old DCEU, Arrowverse, or other DC continuities.
