Fans of the DC Universe have been waiting to see what new projects James Gunn and Peter Safran have in store since they took over as co-CEOs of DC Studios. It is not clear whether the projects that will be announced include previously reported projects, such as a Superman reboot written by Gunn or a second season of Peacemaker, or if they will be entirely new movies and television shows for the HBO Max streaming platform.
Gunn has been active in providing information about the franchise on social media, including confirmation that major announcements will be made this month. However, he also clarified that these announcements will not reveal the entire 8-10 year plan but rather "just a few projects from the first chapter." The use of the term "chapter" in reference to the first part of the slate raises questions about whether this branding will become official and distinguish the DC Universe from Marvel's "Phases."
James Gunn and Peter Safran are expected to bring many new projects, ideas, and perspectives to the franchise. Their experience, expertise, and track record in the industry are great assets to the studio, and it will be exciting to see what they will come up with next. The confirmation that significant announcements will be made this month, but the exact content of the announcements is still uncertain, fans are eagerly waiting to see what's next in the DC Universe, and they'll have to wait until Gunn releases a statement to find out.

"We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved.
