![]() ![]() It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The first two projects are an amuse-bouche for what’s coming up with Superman: Legacy. Safran: (This) is really the launch of the DCU. Peter Safran: This series will sit between Peacemaker season one and season two. They have this incredibly marvelous story worked out that I think is really fantastic. We have two great creatives working on it: Christal Henry, who was a writer on Watchmen, and Jeremy Carver who created Doom Patrol. This is also going to have some of the Peacemaker team in it as regulars on the show. Gunn: Viola Davis is coming back as her character, Amanda Waller. Then Nina Mazursky. Doctor Phosphorus, a Batman villain. Frankenstein -Eric Frankenstein, specifically. The Bride of Frankenstein, who's the lead. In the image (going from left to right), that's Rick Flag, Sr. I’ve written all seven episodes of this show and it’s in production now. We’re going to cast actors that are going to be able to play the characters in this, as well as in other things, some of which we’ve already cast. Television, movies and games all intertwine within the same universe. What we’re doing with the DCU is we’re having animation tied directly into live action. Creature Commandos is based on the great team from DC. This is an animated TV series and this is art from the animation company that’s doing it. James Gunn: The first series that we’re doing, and I’ve already written the entire series, is Creature Commandos. ![]() ![]() This is a general timeline, but there will be flexibility within it.”īelow, both Gunn and Safran share some details and the thought behind the ten new DC movies and TV series revealed today. “That first chapter’s called ‘Gods and Monsters.’ Many of the following projects are already being worked on, but we’re remaining flexible and we’re going to adjust because we’re never going to put a project into production before the script is right. “What we’re starting with today is the first part of the first chapter of our universe,” reveals Safran. While all ten of the below projects are in active development, some are further along than others and both Gunn and Safran emphasize that things may shift around. We are telling a big, huge central story that is like Marvel, except that I think we’re a lot more planned out than Marvel from the beginning because we’ve gotten a group of writers together to work the story out completely.” “We’re coming into a world where superheroes exist and have existed for some time in one form or another, and that’s the universe. “Here at DC, we have Metropolis, Gotham, Themyscira, Atlantis, Bialya… This is the world that we’re creating,” Gunn shares. Familiar characters like Superman and Batman are obviously represented, but Gunn, Safran and the creative teams they’ve been working with are pulling from unexpected corners of the DC Universe as well. So, strictly adult fare like Todd Phillips’ Joker, or kids animation like Teen Titans Go!, we’re going to make it very clear that those are DC Elseworlds, just the same way that they do it in the comic books.”īut the focus today is on the core, connected DC Universe and the initial shows and TV series that will help it take shape on the screen. “And if something isn’t DCU, we’re going to make that very clear. “The DCU’s a multiverse, but we’re going to be focusing on one universe from that multiverse,” explains Safran. However, while not included below, there will be films set outside the shared continuity-like the already announced Joker: Folie à Deux from director Todd Phillips and Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman sequel. All ten of them are set within the same shared universe and will frequently share characters. ![]() Well, the wait is over DC fans! Gunn and Safran have unveiled the first ten interconnected DC Studios projects-five movies and five HBO Max TV series. Since then, of course, DC fans have all pretty much been wondering the same thing: what new movies and TV series are they working on? Discovery announced that blockbuster filmmaker James Gunn and producer extraordinaire Peter Safran had been hired as Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios, the new studio tapped with overseeing all DC film, TV, animation and game projects going forward. It’s certainly been true for our comics, and it’s equally true for our many movies and TV series. From the days of Crisis on Infinite Earths,DC has understood the importance of new starts, taking our favorite superheroes in unexpected new directions and establishing a DC Universe that reflects the world of today. ![]()
