Here's what we know about James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, including who will directing the new films.
Quick Links Once Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom hits theaters, the world of DC adaptations as we know it is going to change forever with an all-new DCU from DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Once upon a time, DC properties were the building blocks of the superhero movie and television genre. To this day, films like 1978's Superman and 1989's Batman are some of the most beloved and influential films not just in the context of superhero films, but for filmmaking in general.
'Creature Commandos' The first project James Gunn discussed was, surprisingly of all things, a new animated series called Creature Commandos. Essentially a new take on the Suicide Squad, even featuring Rick Flag Sr. as a character, this new absurd team-up series will see archetypes of classic monster characters teaming up to fight evil. Gunn himself will be writing all the show's episodes.
'The Authority' Perhaps the most obscure characters in this slate, The Authority was described as a passion project of Gunn's. The new feature film will focus on a group of anti-heroes who try to fix a broken world by any means necessary. The new and darker look at superpowered anti-heroes seems to make the case that The Authority will be DC's answer to projects like The Boys and Invincible.
'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' Tom King's gritty take on Supergirl will come to life with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. This science fiction epic will also be something of a survival film, focusing on a tragedy-stricken Kara Zor-El as she ends up stranded on a part of the destroyed Krypton. When Can You Watch the DCU's Projects? Not all the projects for the DCU have hard release dates attached, but the ones that do will be coming as early as 2024. Keep in mind that the following release windows are not final and will likely change given the long industry hold caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes:
