Brightburn was announced as an "untitled James Gunn horror project" in December 2017, shortly before Gunn was dropped by Disney from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, only to be reinstated. Gunn was attached as producer, with his brother Brian and cousin Mark writing the script. Principal photography began in March 2018 and filming wrapped in May of that same year.
