Two big DCU<\/a> rumors have been debunked by James Gunn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peter Safran and Gunn\u2019s DCU officially kicked off in December 2024 with the animated Creature Commandos. The DC Studios<\/a> and Warner Bros. Pictures<\/a> shared universe then continued this year with Superman<\/a> and Peacemaker: Season 2, while Lanterns Season 1, Supergirl, and Clayface will all come out in 2026.<\/p>\n

What DCU rumors have been debunked by James Gunn?<\/p>\n

Speaking with GQ Magazine<\/a>, Pierce Brosnan<\/a> said that he believed Doctor Fate<\/a> was going to have a future<\/a> in the DCU after appearing in 2022\u2019s Black Adam<\/a>, which is part of the now-defunct DCEU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that Doctor Fate was going to have his own show, or his own movie,\u201d Brosnan said.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard that he\u2019s going to be in the next Superman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gunn, however, posted on Threads<\/a> that his \u201copinion\u201d is that he\u2019s \u201cnever heard a Dr Fate<\/a> rumor,\u201d which seems to suggest that Brosnan\u2019s comments are untrue. Because of Gunn\u2019s vague wording, some fans are holding out some hope that it could be true, especially since the Doctor Fate character is part of the mural seen in the Hall of Justice in Superman. However, it seems much more likely that Gunn is throwing cold water on the theory that Brosnan will show up in Man of Tomorrow<\/a> or future DCU projects, at least for the time being.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it\u2019s recently been reported that a Superman spin-off show titled DC Crime<\/a> is in development. Skyler Gisondo\u2019s Jimmy Olsen will be the focus of the series, while The Flash villain Gorilla Grodd will be featured in the first season.<\/p>\n

Gunn said that, while the series is in development, its title will not be DC Crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust FYI there has never been a project titled DC Crime in development, not even as a working title,\u201d he wrote<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know where that came from but it\u2019s weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said<\/a> in other posts<\/a>, \u201cAnd no that doesn\u2019t mean all of the rest of the story is false,\u201d and, \u201cThe story is from five days ago and I\u2019ve had a few people come up to me IRL and say, \u2018I can\u2019t wait for DC Crime! I was confused to say the last!\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two big DCU rumors have been debunked by James Gunn.
