The DC Universe of interconnected movies and tv initiatives is simply starting, with the primary official challenge within the new continuity being Creature Commandos, launched late final 12 months in December 2024. Now, the primary feature-length movie from the brand new DC Studios, James Gunn’s Superman, is ready to be launched in theaters. With Peacemaker Season 2 set to debut in August on HBO Max and the Supergirl movie having wrapped up filming, the primary section of the DCU, Gods and Monsters, is progressing easily. As DC Studios continues to reintroduce iconic heroes, two which were the middle of debate are Batman and Surprise Lady, and fortunately, James Gunn has supplied a tidbit of details about the latter.
In an interview with Leisure Weekly, James Gunn (Co-Chairman of DC Studios and the author and director of Superman) talked in regards to the artistic means of the studio and the necessity to make sure that each script for any potential challenge is as much as par with their excessive requirements. The subject would shift to the standing of beforehand introduced initiatives, with the Themyscira (house of the Amazon warriors)-centered tv sequence Paradise Misplaced being one among them. Gunn can be transient, saying, “Paradise Misplaced is shifting alongside. It is slow-moving, but it surely’s shifting. And, yeah, I actually love that challenge loads.”

David Zaslav described these 4 characters as “massive asset builders and massive differentiators.”
Surprise Lady is a personality deeply related to Themyscira, resulting in Gunn being requested in regards to the improvement of the long-lasting hero’s movie and whether or not the sequence is related to it. To which Gunn replied:
“Sure. Properly, sure and no. Surprise Lady‘s a separate factor. We’re engaged on Surprise Lady. Surprise Lady‘s being written proper now. So it is totally different. I imply, not totally different. They’re related. She’s from f—ing Themyscira, so…”
DC Studios Does not Need To Rush A ‘Surprise Lady’ Movie
The continuity and high quality of the brand new DC Universe is one thing that is clearly necessary to James Gunn, who has additionally been vocal about desirous to make these early initiatives stand on their very own with out having to see different films and tv reveals within the DCU and in addition current in the identical continuity. So, whereas Themyscira could be the place Surprise Lady is from, followers should not count on there to be specific connections to the legendary hero that is part of DC’s Trinity. Because the present was first described as being in regards to the Island’s darkish secrets and techniques earlier than Surprise Lady’s arrival, it is easy to think about what unfastened connections could be there.
Apart from Batman and Superman, Surprise Lady is likely one of the most integral characters within the DC Universe, and has additionally confirmed to be a worthwhile one for Warner Bros. Patty Jenkins’ 2017 Surprise Lady movie was a crucial and monetary success, grossing $824 million worldwide and changing into the tenth highest-grossing movie of that 12 months. Whereas its sequel, Surprise Lady 1984, wouldn’t be as profitable, there may be nonetheless loads of potential for a brand new iteration of the superhero.
The DCU is rising rapidly below the brand new management at DC Studios, and whereas some much less distinguished characters and teams like Clayface and the Creature Commandos are getting the possibility to shine in these earlier initiatives, it is solely a matter of time till the mainline DC heroes be a part of David Corenswet’s Superman on the massive display. Gunn and Safran are not in a rush, although, preferring to lock down a very good story first. Which, we will absolutely all agree, is the suitable technique to do it.
