A tip from DC Studios reveals the plans for the Justice League International movie
Imagine a team of heroes who combine humor, friendship and diplomatic missions on a global scale. It looks like DC Studios, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, are working to make this vision a reality with a new Justice League International movie. Although the official revelation of the DC projects did not give any hint about the Justice League, the rumor is getting stronger.
Details about the future of the DC Extended Universe have been scarce, especially after last year’s Hollywood strike that left many projects in the air. However, some pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place. Among them is the “Woman of Tomorrow” project and whispers that something big is being prepared. The rumored Justice League International movie could be part of this new wave of storytelling.
It is not a very common league
DC fans will remember that Justice League International is not your typical team-up. Created in the late ’80s by Keith Giffen, JM DeMatz, and Kevin Maguire, this issue moved away from the usual seriousness to explore more character dynamics and humor, which seemed to fit Gunn’s vision for the new DC Universe.
The original team included familiar faces and lesser-known heroes such as Batman, Martian Man, Guy Gardner (who would later be replaced by Hal Jordan as Green Lantern), Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Black Canary, and more. According to the rumor, characters like Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific and Metamorpho may be in the lineup that we see on the screen, maybe they will try to hire Superman himself.
Maxwell Lord takes over
A key figure in this group is Maxwell Lord, often described as charismatic if somewhat brilliant, played by Sean Gunn. Under his leadership, the League operates out of the Justice League embassy in New York, facing international threats and carrying out diplomatic missions. In the year Could this be the film’s approach to distinguish itself from the previous Justice League adaptations we’ve seen in 2017 and 2021?
For now, this remains a rumor and many fans are waiting for any statement from Gunn to confirm or deny these plans. If the silence reigns, we may be in for a great project that continues to expand the DC Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile, the idea of Justice League International comics and missions around the world is already creating expectations and debates among fans about what new horizons could be explored in this resurrected superhero universe.
Possible members we will see in the DCU
In Justice League International, we find characters that go beyond the traditional heroes and bring a unique and diverse personality to the team. For example, Buster Gold tries to fight crime using his advanced knowledge and technology from the future, while Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) is a genius inventor who has no superpowers based on wisdom and tools. Black Canary is notable for her martial arts skills and her powerful “Canary Scream”, a devastating sound wave.
One of the most powerful members, the Martian Mentor brings abilities such as telepathy and sculpting, which adds surprise and flexibility to the group. These members, although less well-known than superheroes like Superman or Batman, play vital roles in the League’s missions, emphasizing the importance of diversity and cooperation in a group faced with a global threat.
