However, this time the production he announced is a mysterious film that has not been previously announced. James Gunn stated in a statement he made on social media that he started this project in the “pre-writing and idea work” phase.

James Gunn is Opening a New Page in the DCU
James Gunn announced that he has taken the first step for the new film while answering fan questions on Threads. Gunn, who continues to work on the Superman and Peacemaker season 2 projects, said that he is focusing on a new film that has not been announced before after these productions. This statement brought with it many theories and speculations on social media. Many possibilities are on the agenda, from Justice League International to solo films for characters such as Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.
Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav’s previously approved 10-year DCU plan included many projects. However, some of these projects have been shelved for now. The development process of productions such as Swamp Thing, Booster Gold, The Authority and Waller has been postponed for various reasons. On the other hand, some productions such as the Teen Titans movie have been brought forward and included among the priority projects.
It is not yet known when Gunn’s new project will be announced. However, with San Diego Comic-Con only a few months away, it is thought that this event could be a potential announcement platform. If DC Studios attends the event, the first clues about the name and concept of the new film could be given. Gunn’s active involvement in this process reinforces his creative leadership in the DCU.
The projects currently on the official calendar include films such as Superman: Legacy, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, The Brave and the Bold and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The addition of this new production, written directly by James Gunn, to this list is enough to excite DC fans. Official statements to be made in the near future will clarify which characters will stand out in the evolution of the DCU.
