DC fans were looking forward to seeing this movie, but James Gunn just canceled it

Three years ago, James Gunn took the lead of the DC Universe with the promise of a series of projects that would gradually arrive in theaters and on HBO Max. However, the recent decision to discard ‘The Authority’ has left many fans disappointed. In an exchange on Threads, Gunn revealed that, although the script was not yet fully ready, the main reason for relegating the project was that it did not fit into the broader context of the DC Cinematic Universe, both narratively and practically.

Three years ago, James Gunn took the helm of the DC Universe with the promise of a series of projects that would gradually arrive in theaters and on HBO Max. However, the recent decision to discard ‘The Authority’ has left many fans disappointed. In an exchange on Threads, Gunn revealed that, although the script was not yet fully ready, the main reason for sidelining the project was that it did not fit into the broader context of the DC Cinematic Universe, both narratively and practically.

When I have time

‘The Authority’, based on the comic series created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch in 1999, has been considered a key but controversial work in the history of comics. With heroes that are often parodies of iconic figures, such as Apollo instead of Superman, its inclusion was meant to provoke reactions due to its violence and representation of LGBTQ+ characters, aspects that were questioned by DC at its release.

Gunn confirmed that he never intended to write or direct ‘The Authority’, arguing that he simply did not have the necessary time for it. Maybe someday, he commented, suggesting that the project might not be completely dead, although its development is not expected in the short term.

Despite the rejection of ‘The Authority’, the good news for fans of the DC Universe is that Gunn is moving forward with other projects in development, such as ‘Booster Gold’ and ‘Paradise Lost’. However, Gunn has faced criticism for repeating mistakes that characterized Marvel by announcing projects that were later canceled, raising questions about the approach he is taking with the future of the DC Universe.

Supergirl heads to the cinemas with a simple premise: what will she be willing to do to save her dog?

The new DC Universe has begun to take shape in cinema, with Superman (2025) marking the start of this new era under the leadership of James Gunn. The film, which featured David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, positioned itself as a box office success, reaching the tenth place among superhero movies in 2025 with a gross of $618.7 million.

Three Days to Save Krypto

Now, the attention turns to Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie, which will premiere in Spanish cinemas on June 26. The film features a first trailer that has already been released and promises more action and drama within this renewed universe. Milly Alcock plays Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Kal-El, and her story delves into a deeply traumatic experience from her childhood when Krypton was destroyed. Unlike Clark Kent, Kara, who was a teenager at the time, chooses to cope with her pain through a life of excess.

A central element of Supergirl is the connection with her dog Krypto, who has been poisoned by gang members. Kara, with only three days to find the cure and save her loyal companion, embarks on an exciting adventure that links her past with the present.The cast also includes prominent names such as Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa, who reprises his role as Lobo, a character that introduces a new dynamic in the DC universe.

As Supergirl prepares for its premiere, it remains to be seen whether its success can match or surpass the impact of Superman, thus making this new phase of DC a sustainable trend in the world of superhero cinema.

Guillermo del Toro, acclaimed filmmaker known for his work on iconic projects like Blade and Hellboy, has had his fair share of successes and failures in the film industry. One of his most anticipated yet frustrating projects for superhero fans has been the adaptation of Justice League Dark, which has been stuck in development limbo for several years. Although del Toro stepped away from the project in 2015, it has remained a source of interest among followers of the DC universe.

A movie that could have been legendary

In 2020, J.J. Abrams tried to revitalize the idea with a television approach, but that initiative also ended up being canceled. Before Abrams, Doug Liman had made an attempt in 2015 to bring the story to the big screen, just after del Toro left the project. During that process, the director mentioned in the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he already had an actor in mind to play Deadman and that a cameo of an iconic hero from the DC universe would be included.

Despite the fact that del Toro has expressed his interest in Justice League Dark,as well as a conversation with James Gunn about the possibility of reviving the project, there are still no confirmations about its continuity. The director, known for his unique style and elaborate narratives, has praised the recent Superman movie, but has not given concrete hints about the future of the dark adaptation.

For the moment, fans will have to settle for the animated version of Justice League Dark, released in 2017, which offered a refreshing look at DC’s less conventional characters. The community hopes that, someday, del Toro can bring his vision of this intriguing group of heroes and anti-heroes to the big screen.

A new project joins the DC universe with the announcement of a series centered on Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s friend, who will be played by Skyler Gisondo. The creators of this highly anticipated spin-off are Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, known for their work on the series American Vandal. The plot of the first season will revolve around Gorilla Grodd, an iconic DC villain characterized by his superintelligence and psychic powers, who seeks to conquer Gorilla City and the world, a character that has been present in the DC universe since 1959.

Jimmy Olsen has everything to be a star

Interestingly, neither Clark Kent nor Lois Lane will be part of the supporting cast of this project. Both characters are busy filming the sequel to Superman, titled Man of Tomorrow. However, it is rumored that they could appear as cameos, which would generate excitement among fans of the Superman universe.

The series promises to explore the more humorous and eccentric aspects of the DC universe, moving away from the more obvious narratives associated with superheroes. Jimmy Olsen has a rich history in comics, where he has starred in various adventures that include science fiction plots and encounters with absurd situations, reinforcing the idea that this approach is the right one for the series.

Skyler Gisondo, known for his role in the series Righteous Gemstones, is considered a suitable actor to lead this big-budget production, given his television background. The expectations are high, as the series has the potential to offer a refreshing and comedic take on the world of Superman, focusing on the lesser-explored characters within its narrative. While more details about the production are awaited, film and television fans will remain attentive to updates on this and other projects in the DC universe.

The Peacemaker continues to generate controversy after its finale, but James Gunn believes it is a revolution for the DCU

The finale of the second season of Peacemaker has sparked intense debate among fans. While some believe that the ending is worthy and paves the way for the future of the DC Universe, others see it as a disappointment after a season full of memorable moments. In this last episode, the protagonist Chris finds himself trapped in Salvation, a multiversal prison with a latent danger, which has led James Gunn to assert that this concept is fundamental for future stories in the DC Universe.

Everything has changed for the DC universe

Gunn has made it clear that the cliffhanger of the final episode is not just an improvisation, but part of a master plan that will unfold across various series and movies. “I like the concept of creating a prison that is impossible to escape from, but that is also a bit reckless,” he comments. However, despite speculation about a third season of The Peacemaker, Gunn has been blunt about it, stating that his focus is on developing future stories where this cliffhanger will be relevant.

Viewers are wondering if they need to have seen The Peacemaker to understand the upcoming DCU productions, such as Man of Tomorrow and Supergirl. Gunn has assured that his intention is to avoid the mistakes of Marvel, stating that it is not necessary to have a deep understanding of Salvation to follow the narrative thread of the new stories. “You will know everything you need to know about the metahumans disappearing throughout that movie,” he stated.

As the DC Universe continues to expand, releases such as Lanterns and Clayface are anticipated, in addition to The Batman 2, which could open new possibilities under the direction of other filmmakers. Gunn maintains plans to continue telling stories from this universe, stating that his commitment to the characters is strong: “I love the character. Chris is incredibly human.”

The second season of Peacemaker is coming to an end, and fans of the series are eager to know the future of its characters. James Gunn, the creator and writer of the series, has confirmed that episode 8 will not provide a traditional answer regarding a potential third season. While some characters may return, it will not be Peacemaker 3 as many had hoped. Gunn has indicated that the series presents some surprises that could be addressed in the final episode, suggesting that narrative decisions could go in unexpected directions.

That news can be good or bad

Despite the success of the second season, Gunn has faced significant challenges in developing new projects within the DC Universe. In particular, he mentions that The Authority has become a complicated project to advance, describing it as the most difficult script he has handled to date. Nevertheless, Gunn has hinted that he is working with a new creator, which could breathe new life into the story. However, this also suggests that the situation remains uncertain.

Additionally, Gunn has expressed his concerns about the difficulty of capturing the audience’s attention for films based on lesser-known characters, which he has considered a limiting factor for the production of new films. In fact, after the final episode of Peacemaker, the DC Universe will take a breather before the premiere of Lanterns, a series based on Green Lantern, scheduled for early next year. This new installment will mark the first time that Gunn will not be in charge as creator or screenwriter, which represents a new challenge for the narrative of the cinematic universe he has been building.

James Gunn, the creator of the series, initially envisioned former wrestler Dave Bautista for the role; however, Bautista had to decline the offer due to commitments with other film projects that offered him better financial conditions.

Batista was not available for the bomb

Gunn found in Cena a perfect alternative after his performance in the movie Trainwreck, where he showcased an impressive sense of humor that led him to be considered for the role. “I have always been a fan of John, especially since Trainwreck. I thought he was incredibly funny,” Gunn commented. Since then, the relationship between the two has flourished, resulting in multiple collaborations, including two seasons of Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad.

The Peacemaker arc has resonated with the audience, leading him to make cameos in other DC projects, including Superman. Cena has proven to be a versatile actor, effectively balancing violence and comedy, thus attracting both comic book fans and new viewers. His ability to embody the character’s quirks and humor has been recognized and celebrated.

Currently, the second season of Peacemaker is available on HBO Max, with new episodes premiering weekly. Fans of the series can expect more content from the DC universe in the future, as multiple projects are in development. The story of how Cena landed the role of Peacemaker is a reminder of how creative decisions can shape new stars in the entertainment industry.

DC video games have faced significant challenges in recent years, marked by a series of errors and project cancellations. Despite the success of iconic titles like the Batman: Arkham series, the overall offering of games based on the DC universe has lacked consistency. This situation is something that James Gunn, co-director of DC Studios, seeks to correct as part of his long-term ten-year plan.

Un plan a largo plazo para que los videojuegos de DC sean buenos de nuevo

Desde el lanzamiento del renovado Universo DC en 2023, Gunn ha enfatizado la importancia de la narración transmedia, señalando que los actores interpretarán a sus personajes “a través de todos los medios, incluidos los videojuegos.” Aunque ha habido poco movimiento público desde esa declaración, Gunn confirmó recientemente que hay “un ligero movimiento en diferentes cosas.” Esto podría implicar un futuro donde figuras como David Corenswet den voz a personajes como Superman en películas y otros formatos, aunque Gunn no proporcionó detalles específicos sobre esto.

Gunn also highlighted the existence of several small DC games in development, as well as the possibility of more ambitious projects in the planning phase. “I’m excited about one thing in particular, but it takes time,” he said in an interview with GamesRadar. Both Gunn and Peter Safran are taking a proactive approach to shaping the future of DC video games. In previous comments, Safran mentioned that they are trying to correct the course to offer fans must-play games again.

Additionally, it has been confirmed that Rocksteady is returning to its roots with a new single-player Batman project, while WB Games centralizes its efforts on its most important franchises. Gunn warned that any major release of a new DC game will be, at least, a couple of years away, leaving fans anticipating a more promising future for the company’s video games.

James Gunn, director, screenwriter, and producer of the film, has expressed his great confidence in the success of this renewed direction of DC Studios.

More attention to small productions

One of the most interesting surprises is the announcement of a series of shorts starring Krypto, Superman’s dog, which will be released shortly after the movie premiere. Gunn has a personal connection to the character, as Krypto is inspired by a dog he adopted, which at one point even destroyed a computer at his work. This series, which will showcase Krypto’s antics, is scheduled to debut in September 2025, approximately two months after the Superman movie.

Despite the fact that Krypto has not had a leading role in major film productions in the past, he has appeared in projects such as League of Super-Pets, released in 2022, where the character was voiced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Peter Safran, co-producer of the new films, has also emphasized the fun of the adventures that Krypto will star in, anticipating that both comic book fans and the general audience will fall in love with this mischievous canine.

In a context where Marvel Studios has decided to slow down its production to consolidate its multiverse, DC Studios seems to be launching a strong offensive. The anticipation for the new Superman and his best friend, Krypto, promises to revive interest in the DC cinematic universe, with Gunn leading the new phase of these iconic stories.

DC divides its universe in two with a definitive villain in between

And the fact is that the publisher has announced that starting in September, there will only be two main universes: the one we all know and the Absolute, a new version of the classic heroes.

In May 1953, in issue 59 of ‘Wonder Woman’, our protagonist traveled to an alternate universe where she meets Tara Terruna, who looks just like her. Since then, DC has continuously played with the multiverse, creating many Earths and impossible narratives to handle. Every now and then they try to fix it with a Crisis but sooner or later everything derails again. Until now.

An absolute comic

And the publisher has announced that starting in September there will only be two main universes: the one we all know and the Absolute, a new version of the beloved heroes in which we will see a gigantic Batman (by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta), a Superman who must protect his secret identity more than ever (by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval), or a Wonder Woman facing the greatest challenge of her life (by Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman).

At the same time, the usual collections will continue to be published, with the intention of expanding the Absolute Universe, in which superheroes are social outcasts who must act on the margins. The only thing we know is that Darkseid will be the villain who threatens both worlds, and they will have to ally themselves to defeat him. Although, of course, we cannot forget that Darkseid is, regardless of the universe he is in.
