DC announces ten new movies and series

Filmmaker James Gunn and producer extraordinaire Peter Safran has unveiled the first ten interconnected DC Studios projects—five movies and five HBO Max TV series. The team is now starting the first part of the first chapter of our universe, which is called “Gods and Monsters.”

According to DC Comics, all ten of them are set within the same shared universe and will frequently share characters.

Safran said, “The DCU’s a multiverse, but we’re going to be focusing on one universe from that multiverse. If something isn’t DCU, we’re going to make that very clear.”

Characters like Superman and Batman are there for sure, but the team has been working on pulling from unexpected corners of the DC Universe as well.

Some details and the thoughts behind the ten new DC movies and TV series were revealed by both Gunn and Safran. According to them, the audience will have “Creature Commandos,” “Waller,” “Superman: Legacy,” “Lanterns,” “The Authority,” “Paradise Lost,” “The Brave and the Bold,” “Booster Gold,” “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” and “Swamp Thing.”

The first series will be “Creature Commandos,” based on the great team from DC. The seven-episode series has already been written by James Gunn, and the show is in production now. The series will be an animated TV series. The series will have characters like Rick Flag Doctor Phosphorus, a Batman villain, Eric Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, who’s the lead, G.I. Robot and Weasel.

“Waller” will be a live-action series that will sit between Peacemaker seasons one and two. Viola Davis is coming back as her character, Amanda Waller.

James Gunn is currently writing the live-action movie “Superman: Legacy” and is also expected to be its director. “Superman: Legacy” focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The movie is expected to be released on July 11, 2025.

Live action series “Lanterns” will have two of the favourite Green Lanterns—Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The series will revolve around a terrestrial-based mystery.

“The Authority” will be another live-action movie from DC. “The Authority” is a very different kind of superhero story. They are basically well-intentioned, but they think that the world is completely broken and the only way to fix it is to take things into their own hands, whether that means killing people, destroying heads of state, or changing governments.

Live-action series “Paradise Lost” is a Game of Thrones-type story about the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman. The events take place before Diana’s birth.

The live-action movie “The Brave and the Bold” is going to feature other members of the extended Bat Family. About “The Brave and the Bold,” Gunn said, “This is the introduction of the DCU’s Batman. It is not Robert Pattinson. It is not Ben Affleck. We’re working with Robert on The Batman – Part II with Matt Reeves, and we’re working with Ben Affleck, who has been a part of our team trying to bring things together, and he really wants to direct one of our projects. We’re excited for him to do that.”

The series “Booster Gold” will follow a loser from the future who uses his basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.

The film “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s wonderful comic. It will be about Kara, who was on Krypton. She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and she lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. The character will be harsher and more f*cked up than one would expect from Supergirl.

The last one is the movie, “Swamp Thing.” This is a film that will investigate the dark origins of “Swamp Thing.”
