James Gunn kick-starts the refreshed version of the DC Universe with “Superman (2025)”, signifying a new beginning for DC’s cinematic world. The lineup for future DC Universe films includes Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, The Authority, and sequels like Peacemaker Season 2 and Lanterns.

Instead of the disjointed approach seen in previous DC attempts, Gunn’s new phase of DC Universe storytelling promises a unified narrative encompassing films, TV shows, animation, and more. Some fans anticipate that this revamped universe could potentially recreate DC’s golden age of superhero entertainment.

List of every upcoming movie and show set up by Superman

David Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman in his project includes appearances by DC Universe superheroes, leading to speculation among fans about forthcoming DC Universe films. Here’s a glimpse into the future direction of the franchise for the upcoming years.

Peacemaker Season 2

In an exciting development, Peacemaker Season 2, featuring John Cena (who also made a brief appearance in Superman), is set to premiere on August 21 exclusively on Max. Previous indications suggest that this season could showcase multiple guest appearances.

In a chat with Entertainment Weekly, the filmmaker subtly suggested that Superman and Peacemaker could have crucial parts in shaping the larger narrative. The upcoming season 2 of Peacemaker will see Frank Grillo reprising his role as Rick Flag Sr.

Supergirl

Viewers of Superman have already caught a glimpse of the lively relationship between Supergirl (played by Milly Alcock) and Krypto. This turbulent duo will reappear in the 2026 film, which is both directed by Craig Gillespie and penned by Ana Nogueira.

The film is set to offer a delightful space journey starring Supergirl and her lovable pet Krypto, as they jet off across the cosmos for Supergirl’s 21st birthday celebration. Along their travels on various planets, Supergirl crosses paths with Ruthye Marye Knoll (played by Eve Ridley). This unexpected encounter sets Supergirl on a chilling path of vengeance.

Lanterns

In a future release slated for 2026, Nathan Fillion’s intense superhero character, Guy Gardner, will reappear in the series titled “Lanterns.” Meanwhile, the spotlight will also shine on Hal Jordan and John Stewart in the upcoming Max series.

The Authority

In the upcoming series The Authority, Lex Luthor’s formidable right-hand woman, known as “The Engineer,” will make her reappearance. It was hinted by Gunn that The Authority presents a unique spin on superhero stories: these characters have good intentions but believe the world is beyond repair and feel compelled to take matters into their own hands to rectify it. (as reported by Deadline)

Krypto Shorts

Previously, it was announced that DC Studios and Warner Bros. are planning a collection of short films featuring Superman’s foster dog, Krypto, who is owned by Supergirl. At a DC Studios press event on February 21st, James Gunn disclosed that this series will be both enjoyable and comical in nature.

Waller

Similar to the progress of the Lanterns project, Waller’s development is also advancing. This forthcoming project delves into Waller managing the aftermath of the Creature Commandos and Superman, as her power wanes against the backdrop of escalating metahuman activity and alien invasions.

Rumored: Justice League, Mr. Terrific, and Jimmy Olsen?

In addition to Justice League, fans also anticipate upcoming DCU films featuring characters such as Mr. Terrific and Jimmy Olsen. It’s worth noting that Corenswet’s Superman has assembled a team known as the Justice Gang, consisting of Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern (Guy Gardner).

In due course, Metamorpho becomes part of the squad during their engagement in the Boravia-Jarhanpur dispute. Given the buzz surrounding the “Justice Gang,” it’s clear to DC enthusiasts that a fresh iteration of the Justice League might be on the horizon.
