A Full List of Upcoming DC Movies

What, exactly, is going on with DC? The answer is, a lot.

After an aborted attempt by Zack Snyder to create a unified universe of characters and subsequent successful one-offs like “Joker” and “The Batman,” Warner Bros. installed James Gunn and Peter Safran as the new co-CEOs of DC Films, under which they will build out an interconnected DCU of films, TV shows and video games over the next eight to 10 years.

That universe officially got off and running with “Superman,” written and directed by James Gunn, a colorful and buoyant and unabashedly comic book-y adaptation introducing David Corenswet’s Kal-El to the world. The film’s opening weekend box office and assurances from WBD boss David Zaslav seem to indicate this DC reboot’s going to stick, at least for now. And there’s a lot in the pipeline.

As for those other DC movies that have already been released as part of the “Snyderverse,” Gunn and Safran said those will exist as part of something called “Elseworlds” — essentially not DCU canon, in a separate universe, but with the potential for those characters to cross over into the unified DCU in the future. Maybe. But probably not.

Other films like the upcoming sequel to “The Batman” will remain disconnected but continue on, living in their own little universes.

Below, we’ve assembled a complete list of upcoming DC movies, including current cast information, release dates and what we know about each project so far.

Cast: Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham

The second DC movie to be released will be “Supergirl,” after “House of the Dragon” actress Milly Alcock made a cameo at the end of “Superman.” Alcock’s Supergirl is Superman’s cousin, and as revealed in Gunn’s film, she loves to party off-planet. Oh, and Krypto is her dog. “Supergirl” is heavily inspired by the Tom King comic book “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” and will find Alcock’s character on a quest for revenge. Matthias Schoenaerts plays Krem of the Yellow Hills, and Craig Gillespie — the filmmaker behind “I, Tonya,” “Cruella” and “Lars and the Real Girl” — directs. The movie completed production in May 2025.

Clayface

James Gunn and Peter Safran didn’t originally intend to make Clayface part of their initial DC Universe offerings, but Mike Flanagan — the filmmaker behind Netflix’s “Haunting of” series and “Doctor Sleep” — turned in a completed script for a “Clayface” movie that was too good to ignore. James Watkins (“Speak No Evil”) is directing this lower-budget, horror-tinged DC film about the original Clayface, a B-movie actor who becomes entirely made of clay. Production begins in 2025.

The Batman – Part II

Warner Bros.

Release Date: Oct. 3, 2025

Cast: Robert Pattinson

Shortly after “The Batman” successfully rebooted the Batman franchise, Warner Bros. announced that Matt Reeves will return to write and direct a sequel with Robert Pattinson once again starring. Those are all the plot details we have at the moment, and the follow-up has been delayed many times, but Reeves and his co-writer Mattson Tomlin turned in a completed script at the beginning of July 2025 and Gunn has said it’s “great.” “The Batman” does not exist within the DCU as we know it (it’s in an “alternate universe” so to speak) and Gunn is casting a different Batman for his in-universe “Brave and the Bold” movie.

DC Comics

Release Date: TBA

Cast: TBA

While Robert Pattinson’s Batman will continue on in “Elseworlds,” the DCU will get its own Batman in “The Brave and the Bold.” Based on Grant Morrison’s Batman run, the film will introduce the DCU’s Bat-family.

“This is the introduction of the DCU Batman, Bruce Wayne, and also introducing our favorite Robin, Damian Wayne, who is a little son of a bitch assassin murderer,” Gunn said of the film. Batman didn’t know Damian existed for the first 8-10 years of his life, and Gunn describes this as “a very strange father/son story” about the duo. Andy Muschietti, who directed “The Flash” and the “It” movies, is attached to direct.

Swamp Thing

DC Comics

Release Date: TBA

Cast: TBA

“Logan” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” filmmaker James Mangold is developing a “Swamp Thing” movie, which will be part of the DCU. The film investigates “the dark origins” of Swamp Thing.

The Authority

DC Comics

Release Date: TBA

Cast: TBA

Based on the Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch comic book series “The Authority,” this film will incorporate characters from DC’s Wildstorm imprint into the DCU.

“One of the things with the DCU is it isn’t just a story of heroes and villains and not every movie and TV show is going to be about good guy versus bad guy, giant thing from the sky comes and good guy wins,” Gunn explained. “There are black hats, white hats and gray hats. There are people that are anti-heroes, and there are people that are very questionable, like The Authority, who basically believe that you can’t fix the world in an easy manner, and they sort of take things into their own hands.”
