An emoji is worth a thousand words, especially when that emoji is being sent by DC Studios’ new co-CEO.

James Gunn on Monday dropped a pair of praise hands on a Threads post by Superman & Lois star Bitsie Tulloch, who shared the front cover of her script for the CW drama’s final season premiere, which we now know to be titled “The End and the Beginning.” (See the exchange here.)

This may seem like a minor comment to some, but the truth is that even a passing acknowledgement of Superman & Lois is a big deal for Gunn, who’s currently hard at work on the next big-screen iteration of the Man of Steel’s story; Gunn is writing and directing 2025’s Superman: Legacy, which stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

Gunn and producing partner Peter Safran officially stepped into their roles as co-chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios in November 2023, overseeing “the overall creative direction of the storied superhero franchise across film, TV and animation under a new, unified banner.”

Superman & Lois is just beginning production on its 10-episode fourth and final season, which is expected to premiere sometime this spring. The show’s third season concluded in June with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) facing off against iconic DC villain Doomsday, who is now seemingly immortal after getting an assist from Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz). Both Hoechlin and Cudlitz are returning as series regulars in Season 4, along with Bitsie Tulloch as Lois, Alex Garfin as Jordan and Michael Bishop as Jonathan.
