DCs’ James Gunn plan to rule the comic movies world

Author : Christopher Update:Mar 19,2025

The DC Universe is undergoing a significant transformation. Past financial struggles, inconsistent storytelling, and a lack of cohesive vision have led to a major leadership change. James Gunn, known for his ability to revitalize lesser-known comic book characters, is spearheading this new era.

Gunn's success with Creature Commandos, with a sequel already in the works, demonstrates his commitment to the DCU's future. But what's next on his agenda?

Superman: Legacy

Superman Legacy

Release Date: July 11, 2025

Kicking off the new DC Universe is Superman: Legacy, written and directed by James Gunn. This film will focus on a younger Superman navigating a world already populated with superheroes. The cast includes David Corenswet as Kal-El, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho. Milly Alcock is also rumored to be appearing as Supergirl.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Release Date: June 26, 2026

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow promises a darker, more mature take on the character. James Gunn describes Supergirl as a survivor who spent fourteen years on a fragment of Krypton witnessing death and destruction before arriving on Earth. This interpretation will differ significantly from previous portrayals. Matthias Schoenaerts has been cast as Krem, a key antagonist from the source material. Milly Alcock will star as Supergirl, a casting choice praised by the original comic's creator, Tom King. She may even make a cameo in Superman: Legacy.

Release Date: October 1, 2027

The Batman Part II, directed by Matt Reeves, is currently in the scriptwriting phase. Production, originally slated for early 2025, is now expected to begin mid-to-late 2025, allowing ample time for post-production. The film's release date has been pushed back to October 1, 2027.

The Brave and the Bold

This film will present a different Batman than the one seen in Reeves' films. It will focus on Batman and his son, Damian Wayne (Robin), who is described as a trained assassin. Director Andy Muschietti has confirmed the film is in development and that its release date will be strategically planned to avoid conflicting with The Batman Part II.

Swamp Thing

Swamp Thing

James Mangold will direct the Swamp Thing adaptation. Mangold has stated his intention to create a more intimate, Gothic horror-focused story, rather than a large-scale crossover event. He plans to focus on the character's core nature and explore the themes of humanity and monstrosity.

The Authority

While details are scarce, audiences will get a first look at The Authority through María Gabriela de Faría's portrayal of Angela Spica in Superman: Legacy. The team is comprised of powerful individuals with unique abilities and a morally complex approach to heroism.

Following his appearance in Creature Commandos, Sgt. Rock is slated for a larger role in the DCU. Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig are reportedly in talks to direct and star, respectively.
