James Gunn Refutes Report That DC's Paradise Lost Was Shelved
The DC Studios chief says the Themyscira prequel remains in development, with timelines and a creative team still undisclosed.
Overview
- Responding to a fan on Threads, James Gunn said "Definitely not" when asked if Paradise Lost had been canceled.
- Recent claims that the series was quietly shelved stemmed from a report by John Rocha, which Gunn publicly rejected.
- Gunn expressed frustration at a wave of inaccurate DC rumors on Threads after returning to the platform and debunked several others.
- Originally unveiled in DC’s Chapter 1 slate, the series is framed as a political, female-led story set on Themyscira, likened to a Game of Thrones-style saga.
- Despite the denial of cancellation, DC has not announced a production timeline, cast, or showrunner, and Gunn previously noted development was moving slowly alongside a separate Wonder Woman script.
