James Gunn has broken his silence regarding the new Batman and Wonder Woman projects that were discussed during the Superman film’s promotion. Gunn, who is leading the restructuring of the DC Cinematic Universe, announced that script work for new films for both characters is ongoing. It was stated that projects could move quickly into production, depending on the quality of the scripts currently being written.

When is the new Batman and Wonder Woman coming?

Superman, released last week, is the first film in the new DC universe under James Gunn’s direction. The film received generally positive reviews and attracted attention with its opening performance. Filming has already begun for Supergirl, the second film in the universe following Superman. However, an official production schedule has not yet been announced for the new films starring Batman and Wonder Woman.

James Gunn spoke candidly about both films during a conversation with the press. He announced that the scripts for Batman and Wonder Woman are currently being written and that production will begin immediately if the scripts are deemed satisfactory.

Gunn stated that they want to get these projects underway as soon as possible, but that the final decision will depend on the quality of the script. These statements suggest the studio has learned from past issues such as lack of planning and production cancellations.

It wasn’t specifically stated which film Gunn was referring to regarding the Batman project. However, it’s believed to be the previously announced adaptation of The Brave and the Bold. The Brave and the Bold, one of DC’s beloved comic book series, was introduced by James Gunn as a key project in the new universe.

It was previously announced that Andy Muschietti, known for his work on the IT series, will direct the film. This strengthens the expectation that this is the Batman film Gunn is referring to. The Batman series, directed by Matt Reeves, is proceeding independently of Gunn’s new universe, and the script for the second film has already been completed.

As for Wonder Woman, no director or cast information has yet been released. The role of Diana within the new universe remains unclear. Gunn’s statements indicate that concrete steps may be taken on this issue in the coming months.
