In this day and age, it’s not unusual for movie studios and streamers to overpromise and under-deliver. Take, for example, Star Wars’ big 2020 announcement about the next phase of Star Wars TV: only a fraction of the projects announced actually made it to the finish line. With that precedent, fans know to keep their expectations tempered, just in case something happens and plans fall through.
When James Gunn took over as co-President of DC Studios, a similar slew of projects were announced under the broad chapter name of “Gods and Monsters,” akin to Marvel’s “Phase” structure. The initial plan detailed five movies and five TV shows, and while some of those projects have already been hits, like Superman and Peacemaker Season 2, there are still plenty on the way. However, one of the planned movies has stalled completely, and Gunn has just confirmed it’s been shelved indefinitely.
