James Gunn and Peter Safran planned to gradually turn the Superman movie series into a Justice League story. According to The Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Fritz, Wonder Woman was set to debut as early as “Man of Tomorrow,” scheduled to premiere on July 9, 2027. Gunn hoped to release two more Superman films in 2029 and 2031, using them to assemble the heroes into a single team.
In addition, “Dynamic Duo,” an animated feature about two Robins, was slated for 2028. And in 2029, there were plans to introduce the main DC cinematic universe’s Batman in the film “The Brave and the Bold,” focusing on Bruce Wayne and his son Damian.
Unlike “Man of Tomorrow,” which has already wrapped filming, the fate of the remaining projects remains uncertain following the leadership change at DC Studios. Voice actors have already been cast for “Dynamic Duo,” and Christina Hodson was working on the script for “The Brave and the Bold.” Furthermore, Gunn and Safran are working on another unannounced movie, though it is unknown whether it is tied to their previous plans.
Which of these projects will be retained by the studio’s new head, Jeremy Latcham, is not yet clear. He will take office on December 1, and more details regarding their fate will likely emerge shortly thereafter.
