A live-action Teen Titans movie is officially in the works for James Gunn's DC Universe. The DC Extended Universe movie timeline concluded in 2023 to pave the way for Gunn's DC Universe, with the first movie being Superman, starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel. The upcoming DC Universe will feature more heroes and villains on both the big and small screens.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter Ana Nogueira, known for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, is currently writing the script for the live-action Teen Titans film. As of now, no director has been attached to the project. Gunn and DC Studios have not yet commented on the Teen Titans report, but Gunn previously hinted at potential upcoming projects.
The Teen Titans movie is expected to differ from the Titans TV show, which focused on young adult superheroes in their 20s rather than teenagers. The new live-action Teen Titans film will likely feature teenage crime fighters and explore the origins of canonical members in their younger years.
With the introduction of characters like Damian Wayne in The Brave and The Bold, the Teen Titans movie could potentially tie into other DC Universe movies and shows. The project marks a fresh start for the Teen Titans in live-action, distinct from the 2007 attempt at a movie adaptation.
While details on the script and release date are still forthcoming, the anticipation for the Teen Titans movie is high among fans of the iconic superhero team. Gunn's involvement in expanding the DC Universe with the Teen Titans film signals exciting developments for DC Comics enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates on the Teen Titans movie in the coming months.
