James Gunn has offered new hints about upcoming James Gunn DCU projects, confirming that work is underway on multiple films and a yet-to-be-approved television series. Speaking in a recent interview with GQ, Gunn shared that two movie scripts are currently moving forward, reflecting ongoing development within the DC Universe.
Details on Film Scripts and a Pending TV Series
Gunn expressed enthusiasm about the projects, saying,
“Right now, there’s actually two really cool film scripts that I’m hoping to take to the next level that we have general plans for, and I’m excited about both of those.”
He further discussed a television project, adding,
“And then I’m excited about one TV project in particular. I don’t know why we’re not greenlighted on that already – it’s just figuring out the budget.”
Gunn also noted the focus on solidifying the character of Supergirl among other undertakings, stating,
“So there’s a couple of things that are very present that I’m excited about. Dealing with getting Supergirl into shape, all these other things.”
Anticipated Films and Expanding DCU Slate
Though Gunn did not specify which projects these are, fans anticipate that the upcoming films Supergirl and Clayface, scheduled for release next year, along with Man of Tomorrow slated for 2027, could be part of these efforts. Additional titles in development that might align with Gunn’s comments include The Brave and the Bold, The Authority, a new Wonder Woman movie, and Swamp Thing. These projects highlight the expanding pipeline for the DCU on the big screen.
Television Shows and Animated Series in Progress
On the television front, several series remain underway, including Waller, a spin-off from Peacemaker, and Paradise Lost, which serves as a Wonder Woman prequel. Furthermore, animated programs centered around Blue Beetle and Mister Miracle are also in production. Gunn’s mysterious TV show could be one of these confirmed projects or something entirely new, leaving fans curious about what might soon be revealed.
The Future Outlook for the DC Universe
Since DC Studios announced its Chapter One slate in January 2023, updates on the progress of its projects have been relatively sparse, prompting some concern and anticipation among fans. Gunn’s recent remarks suggest that the DCU remains actively developing content, maintaining momentum behind the scenes. His excitement signals positive movement despite the current uncertainty, as viewers await confirmation on which films and shows will be prioritized.
As James Gunn continues to navigate the challenges of managing this vast franchise, the coming months will be crucial for shaping the direction of the DCU’s next phase. Whether unveiling new films or introducing fresh television series, these projects could significantly influence the future landscape of the DC Universe.
