Get ready, DC fans! James Gunn, the mastermind behind the upcoming DCU, has dropped some exciting hints about what's in store for 2027, and it's a mix of familiar faces and intriguing new projects. Gunn, known for his engaging interactions with fans on social media, recently hosted a Q&A session on Threads, sparking a wave of speculation and excitement.
During this session, Gunn addressed various rumors and fan theories. He clarified that there's no news on Wonder Woman casting, there won't be a Batman appearance until after The Batman 2 hits theaters, and he's just as puzzled as everyone else about Grant Gustin's hair change (leading to Flash return speculations).
But here's where it gets interesting: Gunn subtly revealed potential plans for 2027 that have been largely overlooked. When asked about the 2027 lineup, Gunn initially responded to a somewhat rude comment about only one confirmed project, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, with a simple, yet telling, "Uhhhhh The Batman 2 bro.”
And this is the part most people miss... While The Batman 2 isn't part of the DCU, Gunn's response highlights how Warner Bros. schedules releases. He explained that release dates depend on script readiness, emphasizing that he wouldn't want to overshadow The Batman 2.
However, the real bombshell came when someone inquired about Creature Commandos Season 2. Gunn confirmed its possibility for 2027, further fueling anticipation. Someone mentioned that Creature Commandos Season 2 is currently in animation, and Gunn said, “CC and more yes.”
So, what can we expect from the DCU in 2027?
While official announcements are still pending, Gunn's comments offer a glimpse into the future. Expect Superman: Man of Tomorrow and The Batman 2 in theaters. Animated shows could also be on the horizon, with Creature Commandos Season 2 as a strong contender. Gunn has also mentioned a potential animated series for Blue Beetle, and a live-action Jimmy Olsen show is also in the mix.
Rumors also swirl around animated series like Mister Miracle and Huntress, but these remain unconfirmed. For now, it seems Creature Commandos Season 2 is the most likely addition to the 2027 lineup, alongside either the Jimmy Olsen show or Blue Beetle.
