A letter to Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholders outlined the next several DC projects. The note highlighted the success of James Gunn’s Superman to the tune of $560 million globally and confirmed that The Batman II will begin filming in the spring. The letter reads, “In film, James Gunn is busy preparing the next installments of the DC super family, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026), Clayface (2026), and the next Wonder Woman. In addition, The Batman II (2027) is preparing to begin shooting next spring, among several other projects in development. The 10-year vision for the DC universe also includes an exciting array of television projects, including The Penguin, the upcoming new season of Peacemaker, and the debut of Lanterns in 2026. In a precise and measured way, the DC franchise will increasingly overlay across the studio’s broader efforts: from film and TV to consumer products, games, experiences, and social.”
Gunn received some criticism for the gap between The Batman (2022) starring Robert Pattinson and its sequel in 2027. Gunn defended himself by pointing out years-long gaps between other famous sequels. Notably, Pixar’s Incredibles had a full fourteen-year stretch between films. Gunn recently confirmed that the script was finished, citing the lack of a full script as the reason for the delay. He said, “Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting, and post-production on big films.” Gunn has his 10-year plan mapped out for DC, and once the films hit theaters, audience reaction and box office earnings will tell how successful it is.
