James Gunn confirmed that they are still working on the Wonder Woman series, Paradise Lost, but it is not in production with other DCU projects.
Behind the scenes of the big studios and beyond the expectations of fans, James Gunn has emerged as an authoritative voice explaining the current landscape of DC Studios. From the animated adaptation of Creature Commandos to the highly-anticipated Superman movie starring David Cornswett and Rachel Brosnahan, Gunn has found himself in the eye of a creative storm, not only writing but also directing these titanic projects.
The city of Cleveland marked the final day of filming on Superman, a major milestone in the re-invention of the DC universe led by Gunn and Safran. Meanwhile, the second season of The Peacemaker with John Cena continues unabated, denying the frequent rumors circulating online.
Dive into multiple projects
Not just action movies. Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow, The Penguin and Lanterns are just a few of the titles slowly making their way into production, with Gunn working to fend off a storm of baseless speculation. Gunnu himself explains the critical difference in the industry: nothing is officially green in “production”. This is reflected in projects like Paradise Lost, which are still in strong stages of development, awaiting a script that meets DC Studios’ exacting standards before moving on to production.
Over-enthusiasm sometimes leads to disagreements, as in the case of Matt Reeves’ The Batman II, which went from the recently announced filming to rumors of cancellation. Gunn, however, maintains a practical approach, emphasizing that only green projects will be officially considered in production.
Vision of the expanding universe
While some projects are attracting attention for their animation potential, the Wonder Woman series remains the subject of speculation. Although not officially in production, DC Studios’ commitment to creating exciting, quality content is palpable, promising a deeper exploration of popular characters in both classic and new formats.
The future of DCU, according to Gunn, is not only about producing high-quality content, but also about openness and transparency with fans and collaborators. In a world where the lines between reality and fiction are easily blurred, Gungun stands as a symbol of certainty in the tide of film production.
Other characters that may have a series or movie
In the ever-expanding DC Studios universe, there are many unknown characters who could shine on the big screen or in a special streaming series. Among them, Zatanna, a sorcerer and sorceress, stands out for her rich history and her deep connection with magic in the DC universe, which can provide a narrative shrouded in mystery and dark magic. Elsewhere, Booster Gold, a time traveler who uses his knowledge of the future to become a superhero, offers a unique blend of comedy and action, with themes of fame and redemption.
Another suitable candidate for development is Black Canary, a martial arts expert with a powerful sonic boom. Her story lends itself to exploring themes of justice and women’s empowerment. In the same way, thanks to the Naboo helmet, the sorcerer Doctor Fate, who has unlimited powers, opens the door to explore ancient legends and cosmic conflicts, which further enriches the structure of the DCU.
These characters not only replicate the DC show, but also attract new fans with their unique and visually stunning stories, each bringing a different and refreshing flavor to the shared universe.
