DCU Movie & TV Output Outlined, James Gunn Reveals ‘Endgame’ Movie

James Gunn and Peter Safran have clarified some of the goals for the DCU for the years to come.

In December of last year, the DC Universe was launched with the series Creature Commandos, currently available for streaming on Max. The next venture, set within this freshly minted DC universe crafted by Gunn and Safran, is the David Corenswet-led Superman, slated to debut in December of this year.

Moving forward, it’s anticipated that Peacemaker Season 2 will debut towards the end of 2025, while Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has been scheduled for a 2026 release. Additionally, The Lanterns series featuring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre is also set to premiere in 2026.

According to Variety, Safran mentioned that DC Studios aims to put out three movies annually – two live-action and one animated. It’s important to note that these films don’t necessarily need to be part of the DC Universe. For instance, The Batman Part II, which is scheduled for release in 2027, is set within Matt Reeves’ Batman Crime Saga universe, rather than the DCU.

Additionally, Safran mentioned their intention to roll out two live-action and two animated television shows annually.

According to Variety’s report, the executives emphasized again the underlying principle driving their creative decisions: no initiative will move forward unless both Gunn and Safran are content with the finished script.

James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is working its way up to something big

Gunn and Safran also mentioned they have a six-year vision for DCU, which will weave a broader narrative leading up to a significant project, much like the Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame movie. The Hollywood Reporter’s article likens this six-year plan to Avengers: Endgame.

Instead of providing more details or suggesting the type of project DCU might be working on (although a Justice League project appears to be the most likely option), Gunn mentioned that each separate project stands independently.

He explained that it’s not as if they’re individual chapters forming a larger narrative, but rather, they are characters contributing to the overall story.
