Upcoming DCU Projects: Three New Films Reportedly Set to Enter Production

As a seasoned gamer with a deep-rooted passion for all things DC, I must say, the upcoming projects under James Gunn’s DCU have me more than excited! The prospect of a fresh start and a truly cohesive universe is music to my gaming ears.


James Gunn is currently working on establishing a fresh, new film universe known as the DCU, intended to take the place of the problematic DCEU created by Zack Snyder. Over time, the DCEU has seen its share of both triumphs and setbacks.

The DC Universe officially kicks off in December with the debut of Creature Commandos, but it’s important to note that Superman, scheduled for release in 2025, is seen as the real start of the DC Universe according to Peter Safran and Gunn.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the second season of Peacemaker is in the works! Additionally, a new series titled “Lanterns” is being developed, which promises to deliver a True Detective-like experience by diving deep into the lives of three prominent Green Lanterns: Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan. Can’t wait to see these characters in action!

It’s been announced that the production of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” will commence in January 2025, with an anticipated release date in 2026. However, James Gunn has made it clear that a project being on a release schedule doesn’t necessarily mean it will definitely be released.

As a devoted fan, I’m pondering about the potential future productions, given that Gunn insists on having a fully-crafted script before commencing production. If his standards aren’t met, it seems like the project might be put on hold indefinitely. After Lanterns and Supergirl, there’s uncertainty surrounding which projects will make it to the big screen.

While the director did provide some insight, his response was ultimately vague.

Just the other day, a trusted source on X, Comicodigy, dropped some juicy rumors about what’s cooking in the DC Universe. From what I’ve gathered, we might be seeing the likes of The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, or even Teen Titans make an appearance. Exciting times ahead!

Among the potential upcoming DCU productions, there’s buzz about three titles: ‘The Authority’, ‘The Brave and The Bold’, or ‘Teen Titans’.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I was thrilled when “The Authority” was first unveiled as part of Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters. The anticipation grew even stronger when it was hinted that this team would make an appearance in the upcoming “Superman” movie.

Regarding “The Brave and the Bold,” information is scant, but enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the reveal of who will play Batman in the DCU, given that this film aims to introduce him alongside Damian Wayne. This movie is often referred to as the start of the Bat Family within the emerging universe.

A while back, it was announced that a movie based on the “Teen Titans” was under development, with Ana Nogueira, known for her work on “Supergirl”, penning the script. Recently, this project didn’t appear in the release schedule unveiled by Gunn and Safran, which means we don’t have much information aside from its current stage of development.
