James Gunn has confirmed that there is currently no script in development for a Teen Titans movie, contradicting earlier reports that suggested writer Ana Nogueira was already working on a second draft. This update comes amid growing speculation about the Teen Titans project and highlights a shift in priorities within DC Studios, where Wonder Woman’s reboot has taken precedence.
Previous Reports and Shifts in DC Studios’ Focus
Ana Nogueira, who initially gained recognition for her writing on the upcoming Supergirl film, was reportedly tapped to write a live-action Teen Titans movie before being assigned to work on the Wonder Woman reboot. Earlier this year, James Gunn and Peter Safran confirmed Nogueira’s involvement with Teen Titans, with Gunn noting that the initial draft was incomplete but promising. However, Gunn’s recent remarks suggest that the Teen Titans film has been sidelined.
It doesn’t exist. She’s been on Wonder Woman for a while,
said Gunn.
This development aligns with a tweet from a fan noting the changes in project focus:
Titans got moved to the backburner and Wonder Woman got moved up. Or Teen Titans never existed and it was always a code project for this secret Wonder Woman movie lol

Ana Nogueira’s Role in Shaping the DC Universe
Despite the uncertainties surrounding Teen Titans, Ana Nogueira remains an important figure in shaping the next chapter of the DC Universe (DCU). Her transition from Supergirl to Wonder Woman reflects the studio’s confidence in her creative vision. Nogueira’s continued involvement on high-profile projects confirms her position as a key contributor to DC Studios’ evolving cinematic universe.
Earlier statements from Gunn underscored Nogueira’s passion and talent:
It was something that Ana was really impassioned about, and she turned over an amazing script for us. She’s fiddling with that now, but it’s definitely not a finished script.
— James Gunn
DCU’s Current Project Landscape and Future Outlook
Wonder Woman has emerged as a top priority for DC Studios, positioned alongside Superman, Supergirl, and Batman as a central figure in the new DC Universe. Meanwhile, the Teen Titans project remains uncertain, with no definitive place for the team in the initial phase titled Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
Other DCU properties like Peacemaker season 2, Lanterns, Supergirl, and a second season of Creature Commandos are confirmed but appear to be pending solid scripts and approvals. It seems many announced projects are on hold until the studio receives quality scripts that meet James Gunn’s standards.
Implications for the Teen Titans and DCU Storytelling Direction
Gunn’s confirmation that no Teen Titans script yet exists signals a cautious approach as DC Studios refines its storytelling slate. The shift in focus to Wonder Woman might delay Teen Titans indefinitely or place the project further down the development queue. This strategic prioritization illustrates DC’s intent to build the universe around a few foundational characters before expanding to team-based stories.
As the DCU continues to evolve, Ana Nogueira’s growing involvement signals strong creative leadership behind the scenes, ensuring that key projects like Wonder Woman will receive focused attention. Fans and industry watchers will likely watch closely to see when, or if, the Teen Titans will return to active development under Gunn’s guidance.
