OH. MY. GOD. 😱 James Gunn, the guy who brought you the cinematic masterpiece that is… *checks notes* …Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is allegedly thinking about giving Mister Terrific and Jimmy Olsen their own spinoff shows. Yes, you heard that right. Mister Terrific, the dude who’s, like, REALLY smart, and Jimmy Olsen, the guy who takes pictures… sometimes. This is the future of the DCU, folks. Prepare yourselves.
According to The Wall Street Journal (because who else would break this earth-shattering news?), Gunn is “eyeing” (read: maybe thought about it for five seconds while eating a donut 🍩) potential TV shows for Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific and Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen. Because, you know, everyone’s been clamoring for more Mister Terrific and Jimmy Olsen content. I mean, who needs Superman when you can watch a show about a guy who knows a lot and another guy with a camera? 🙄
Warner Bros., in their infinite wisdom, is apparently calling Superman their “launchpad” for a brand new, squeaky-clean, totally-not-doomed cinematic universe. This universe will include a Green Lantern show called Lanterns (because we haven’t had enough Green Lantern content, right?), a Supergirl spinoff (because girls need to be super, or something), and, of course, MORE Batman movies. Because what the world REALLY needs is another gritty Batman reboot. 🦇
Lanterns and Supergirl are slated for 2026. Mark your calendars, folks! Set your alarms! This is the most important event in human history! (Or, you know, just watch something else.)
Other projects in the pipeline include Peacemaker Season 2 (because the first season was such a cultural phenomenon… said no one ever) and a Wonder Woman prequel called Paradise Lost. Because everyone wants to know about Wonder Woman’s angsty teen years. 👸
Gunn, the mastermind behind this whole operation, apparently announced he was working on a Superman movie back in 2022. So, like, two years ago? That’s practically ancient history in Hollywood years. I’m sure his vision hasn’t changed AT ALL in the meantime. 🙄
He’s also directed, written, and/or produced a bunch of other DC stuff, including The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos. You know, all the projects that everyone’s been raving about. (Crickets chirping.) 🦗
Gunn and his partner-in-crime, Peter Safran, plan to revamp the DC Universe with two live-action films, at least one animated film, two live-action TV shows, and two animated TV shows PER YEAR. That’s right, folks. We’re going to be drowning in DC content. Hope you like superheroes, because you’re about to get a whole lot more than you bargained for. 🌊
Superman stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. So, basically, a bunch of actors you’ve seen in other stuff, doing superhero things. Riveting. 🎭
The film cost $225 million to make and, as of opening day, has raked in a whopping $40.3 million. So, it’s already a HUGE success! (Unless you consider the fact that it needs to make, like, a billion dollars to break even.) The movie also has an 82 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Which means that 18 percent of critics have taste. 🍅
