Fans have even more to look forward to, with Gunn hinting at imminent news, especially around the highly awaited Supergirl trailer, as the franchise continues its expansion—keeping James Gunn DCU updates in the spotlight.
Major Projects on the DCU Horizon
Since the announcement of the initial Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters lineup nearly three years ago, DC Studios, under the guidance of James Gunn and Peter Safran, has delivered a string of successes with productions like Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker. Building on that momentum, the year 2026 is shaping up to be significant, with new titles such as Supergirl, Lanterns, and Clayface entering advanced stages of development. Additionally, work is scheduled to ramp up for Man of Tomorrow and The Batman Part II—an Elseworlds film directed by Matt Reeves—in the first half of next year.
James Gunn Shares Daily Involvement
Responding to questions from fans about his daily activities as a studio leader, Gunn described a dynamic and varied schedule.
“The fun of the job is there is no average day!”
— James Gunn, DC Studios co-CEO.
“The majority of days currently are spent prepping Man of Tomorrow – storyboarding [and] department meetings [and] scouting [and] casting, interspersed with going over cuts of Supergirl [and] Lanterns, discussing marketing on all the projects, reading [and] making notes on new scripts.”
— James Gunn, DC Studios co-CEO.
He further explained his role behind the scenes, collaborating with various teams to ensure smooth progress across many titles.
“Supporting the Batman 2 crew to make sure it goes smoothly, waiting for [the first] cut of Clayface (can’t wait!), okaying designs for all kinds of stuff, [and] I’m sure many things I’m forgetting.”
— James Gunn, DC Studios co-CEO.
Between creative oversight and team meetings, Gunn remains deeply engaged in the ongoing progress and upcoming reveals within the DC Universe.
Anticipation Builds for the Supergirl Trailer
Speculation ramped up after Gunn liked a social media post discussing the impending release of the Supergirl trailer. Many in the fan community believe this indicates the trailer’s arrival is just around the corner. Supergirl is scheduled to feature at the CCXP event in São Paulo, Brazil, taking place from December 4 through December 7, increasing expectations for a trailer debut during that window.

Supergirl’s Galactic Story and Star-Studded Cast
Supergirl, set for a June 26, 2026 theatrical release, promises a cosmic journey as Supergirl travels across the galaxy to mark her 21st birthday with Krypto the Superdog. The adventure brings her into contact with Ruthye, who draws her into a quest driven by vengeance. The screenplay is authored by Ana Nogueira, and the film is helmed by director Craig Gillespie.
The lead role of Supergirl is played by Milly Alcock, while Eve Ridley takes on Ruthye Marye Knoll. The cast further includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Jason Momoa as Lobo, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Ferdinand Kingsley as Elias Knoll, reflecting a diverse lineup of characters central to the story’s emotional core.
What Lies Ahead for the DCU
With Gunn and Safran guiding multiple projects and key films gearing up for production, the DCU’s future looks vibrant. The community is eagerly awaiting the Supergirl trailer, as confirmed by fan excitement and social media buzz.
