James Gunn<\/a> loves to chat with fans on social media, and he just announced what could be a massive return for the DCU in 2027. Gunn opened up his Threads account for a massive question-and-answer session with fans on Sunday, and this had many fans asking about rumors. Gunn answered as many of them as he could honestly, including saying there is no news about Wonder Woman casting rumors, there will be no Batman until after Batman 2 hits theaters, and that he has no idea why Grant Gustin lightened his hair (fans think Gustin is going to return as Flash). However, Gunn then let something big slip that few people had talked about since early in 2026.<\/p>\n

In his big Q&A session on Threads<\/a>, James Gunn was asked about what is coming out in 2027. One fan rudely commented, \u201cOnly one project in 2027 man of tomorrow and nothing??\u201d It really seemed like a strange comment to demand that Gunn reveal plans over a year away from now, even though there are things always in some stage of development. Gunn responded likewise, taking the rude comment and simply stating, \u201cUhhhhh The Batman 2 bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

This led to some comments about how The Batman 2 isn\u2019t part of the DCU<\/a>, so it \u201cdoesn\u2019t count,\u201d which is ridiculous in itself. Gunn went on to explain how business works to fans who don\u2019t understand how Warner Bros. is setting release dates. \u201cI\u2019m dependent on when there\u2019s an actionable script ready so there is no way of me guessing this,\u201d he explained. \u201cAlso, frankly, we\u2019re well into Batman 2, and I wouldn\u2019t want to cloud the Batsphere until after that.\u201d As he then repeated, \u201cI\u2019m also not going to have two Batman movies come out in the same year.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he then dropped the big news. Someone asked about\u00a0Creature Commandos\u00a0Season 2<\/a>, and Gunn said it was a possibility for 2027. Someone mentioned that Crerature Commandos Season 2 was animating right now, and Gunn said, \u201cCC and more yes.\u201d <\/p>\n

What Is Coming Out In 2027 From DCU?<\/p>\n

There is obviously no way to know what is coming out in 2027 from the DCU until James Gunn announces it. Anything that fan sites mention is just speculation, and Gunn even said in his Q&A that when enough people throw out enough rumors, some of them are likely to be true. However, Gunn straight-up said that Creature Commandos Season 2 was coming, and this was the first time that he said it might be ready for 2027. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect anything in theaters in 2027 other than Superman: Man of Tomorrow and The Batman 2, unless something smaller gets greenlit that could be made relatively quickly. That said, there is a chance that animated shows could get released next year, with Creature Commandos Season 2 as only one example. Gunn has mentioned Blue Beetle getting an animated series, and that could end up ready by 2027, as could the possibility of the Jimmy Olsen live-action show from the creators of American Vandal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Other rumored animated shows include Mister Miracle<\/a>, which is rumored to be in production right now. There was also a rumored Huntress animated series, but that is unlikely, with no actual news on it coming from Gunn. It sounds like Creature Commandos Season 2 should be a real deal for 2027, and either the Jimmy Olsen live-action show or Blue Beetle as the other possibility. As always, don\u2019t believe anything until Gunn says something, like he did today. <\/p>\n
