It didn\u2019t take long for James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new co-chairmen and CEOs of Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s
\n WBD<\/a>
\n <\/fbs-ticker> DC Studios, to show the world that the DC Universe is headed in a different direction. The studio today announced an ambitious slate of 10 new film, TV and animation projects under the pair\u2019s creative direction, centered on the theme of \u201cGods and Monsters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The keystone project is Gunn\u2019s big reboot of Superman, Superman: Legacy<\/em>, which is headed for the screen on July 11, 2025. The film will explore a familiar theme in the Superman canon, the balance between Kal-El\u2019s alien origins and human upbringing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuperman: Legacy<\/em> is the true foundation of our creative vision for the DC Universe,\u201d said Gunn in the announcement. \u201cNot only is Superman an iconic part of DC lore, he is also a favorite character for comic book readers, viewers of earlier movies, and fans around the world. I can\u2019t wait to introduce our version of Superman who audiences will be able to follow and get to know across films, movies, animation and gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moving to a Supes-centric model is a big but natural step for DC, after relying on Batman as the main tentpole since the late 1980s. But fans of the Dark Knight need not despair. The Batman – Part II<\/em>, following on 2022\u2019s gothic version starring Robert Pattinson, will follow in September, 2025.<\/p>\n

The upcoming slate of new films reaches deeper into the DC catalog, bringing forward properties like The Authority, Booster Gold and Creature Commandos alongside better known or previously established characters like Supergirl, Green Lantern, Swamp Thing and Suicide Squad\u2019s Amanda Waller. The latter, with Viola Davis reprising the role as the no-nonsense director of the secret organization ARGUS from Suicide Squad, Peacemaker <\/em>and Black Adam,<\/em> appears to have a prominent role in the relaunched film universe.

\u201cAs we craft the plan for DC Studios, we are thrilled to share with fans the first 10 stories they can expect from the unified DC Universe featuring some of our most well-known characters as well as the next generation of marquee characters\u201d said Safran. \u201cChapter 1 tells cohesive stories that highlight love, compassion, and the innate goodness of the human spirit, all designed to minimize audience confusion and maximize audience engagement across platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
