Superman: James Gunn Is Considering 2 DCU Spin-off 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.'

The show is said to be 'younger-skewing' and was announced at the same time as two other DC animated shows: DC Super Powers and Starfire. Shortly after the announcement, executive producer Jake Wyatt confirmed that the show will be set in the same universe as My Adventures with Superman, which premiered on Adult Swim in 2023 and features Jack Quaid as the voice of Clark Kent. 'My Adventures with Green Lantern will follow high school student Jessica Cruz, who has her life upended when a Green Lantern Power Ring falls from the sky and chooses Cruz to be its champion. Things get even worse when more debris from the Lanterns' ancient space war arrives – along with their alien foes,' the logline for the show reads. What is the My Adventures With Green Lantern update? Per Knight Edge Media, a casting call has gone out for the Jessica Cruz role. DC is looking for someone 18 or older to play the character, who will be between the ages of 14 and 15. 'This role will sing in the series, looking for talent who can sing. Jessica had a normal childhood: she played softball, hung out with her best friends Kyle and Nikki, and stayed out of trouble,' the casting call further reads. 'But Jess' life collapsed when everyone around her hit puberty and got mean. Betrayed by friends and bullied out of softball, Jess withdrew. Better to be small and safe than to be yourself and get hurt. We meet Jess at the top of high school: a chronically anxious freshman who starts the year hoping to keep her head down and get by…but who ends up being chosen by a magic ring to be the cosmic champion of all life – the Green Lantern. Despite her fear, anxiety, and her low opinion of herself, Jess will find that she does have the tenacity and courage to meet this challenge, to become the world's greatest hero.'
