Overview
- Executive producer Lars P. Winther said Paramount Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison visited Trilith in Atlanta and met James Gunn and Peter Safran, confirming direct talks between the new leadership and DC Studios.
- Winther told reporters that Ellison has been "pretty open" to Gunn and Safran’s plan and has so far given the creative team room to continue with their announced slate.
- Several DCU projects are already underway, with Supergirl released June 26, Clayface and the Lanterns TV series in the pipeline, Batman 2 started in London, and Man of Tomorrow reported about halfway through filming.
- Producers say Supergirl is a standalone film that intentionally seeds characters and threads that carry into Man of Tomorrow, and Milly Alcock’s Supergirl is confirmed to appear in the follow-up film.
- The roughly $111 billion proposed megadeal has raised questions about long‑term oversight, so industry watchers say box office and reception for Supergirl and progress on Man of Tomorrow will be key signals of whether the slate stays intact.
