Superman: James Gunn Is Considering 2 DCU Spin-off Shows
James Gunn is considering making at least two -related spin-off television shows.
Superman is now playing in United States theaters. Written and directed by Gunn, the DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures movie stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Gunn is considering making DCU TV spin-off shows for Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, and Jimmy Olsen, played by Skyler Gisondo.
These projects have not been officially confirmed to be in development at DC at this time. If they were to get made, it's also unclear when they would arrive: Peter Safran previously said that DC is looking to release two live-action and two animated shows every year.
At this time, only Peacemaker Season 2 has a release date (August 21, 2026) when it comes to DC's television schedule, though Lanterns is expected to premiere in 2026. A number of other television shows have also previously been announced, including Waller, Paradise Lost, Booster Gold, and more.
The cast of Superman also includes Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spca/The Engineer, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
The official synopsis for the movie reads, 'Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor, and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.'
