James Gunn Eyeing At Least Two ‘Superman’ TV Spinoffs – Report

As James Gunn’s Superman surges to more than $22 million in box office previews (along with a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes), the filmmaker reportedly is looking ahead to the possibility of at least two TV spinoffs.

Gunn is considering TV spinoffs for Superman characters such as Edi Gathegi‘s Mister Terrific and Skyler Gisondo‘s Jimmy Olsen, according to a report Thursday night in the Wall Street Journal.

Gunn already has Season 2 of Peacemaker, from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, set to release on August 21. And his series Lanterns, starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, is in post for premiere sometime in 2026.

In a recent Q&A with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn gave an update on Paradise Lost, saying it “is moving along. It’s slow-moving, but it’s moving.” He also mentioned another TV show “that’s my favorite thing in all of this, that is hopefully getting made soon.”  

DC co-bosses Gunn and Peter Safran earlier revealed plans for their revamp of the DCU, which include two live-action films and one animated film per year, along with two live-action and two animated TV series per year.

Written and directed by Gunn, Superman stars David Corenswet as the titular Kal-El aka Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. In addition to Gathegi and Gisondo, Superman also stars Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner), María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer) and Wendell Pierce (Daily Planet editor Perry White.)
