Batman Spinoff Movie For Mr Freeze Rumor Debunked By James Gunn

Key Takeaways

  • James Gunn debunked rumors of a solo Mr. Freeze movie.
  • Batman is expected to have a significant role in the upcoming DC Universe franchise.
  • Gunn advised fans to be cautious with DCU information as rumors circulate.

As a long-time fan of the DC Universe, I can’t help but feel a rollercoaster of emotions every time a new rumor or piece of news drops about our beloved characters. The latest one, about a solo Mr. Freeze movie, sadly turned out to be just another rumor debunked by James Gunn. It seems that the DC Universe boss has become quite adept at putting out fires, much like Batman himself!


It was reported that a standalone film featuring a villain from the Batman universe was being developed by DC Studios, but these claims were later proven false by James Gunn. Yet, the head of DC Universe acknowledged that the proposed project had potential.

It’s expected that Batman will take on a crucial part in Gunn’s upcoming DC Universe series, with “The Brave and Bold” being one of several projects announced when he first revealed his plans. Meanwhile, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson are continuing their own Batman universe through “The Batman,” possibly leading to spin-offs like Colin Farrell’s “The Penguin” TV series. Gunn has addressed numerous rumors about both the DC Universe and The Batman Crime Saga, and recently clarified that one such rumor involves a beloved Batman villain: Mr. Freeze.

According to ComicBookClubLive’s report from late September, a film titled “Mister Freeze” was said to be in production by Reeves’ 6th & Idaho production company. The list of producers, as per the listing, included Reeves, Gunn, DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran, along with DC Studios, DC Entertainment, The Safran Company, and Warner Bros. Television. However, since Production Weekly doesn’t always verify its listings, ComicBookClubLive suggested fans to approach the news cautiously. One fan then reached out to Gunn on Threads to confirm the report’s validity. In response, Gunn simply stated: [Verification needed]

It’s not a bad idea, so I wouldn’t say never but no there’s no truth to it at all.

Yesterday, Gunn had previously addressed another fan’s query regarding a Mr. Freeze report. He dispelled the rumor and urged fans to exercise caution when dealing with information related to DCU until he or Safran verifies it. “I haven’t confirmed that one yet,” he wrote. “There are numerous rumors circulating this week, some of which are true, partially true, or completely false. If you enjoy speculating about the unknown, go ahead and do so, but don’t blindly trust anything until you hear it from me or Peter (who seems to be offline, even though I see him mentioned in posts).

Gunn is often tasked with clearing up misconceptions, like when he dispelled the rumor about casting for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which stated that a voice actor was needed for Krypto the Superdog. Yet, he previously mentioned that sometimes such false information isn’t deliberately spread, as tipsters might receive incorrect details from what appears to be a reliable source.

Before James Gunn’s Superman hits screens in less than a year, the animated series Creature Commandoes will debut first. However, according to Gunn, Superman is actually the real start of the DC Universe. With such an anticipated project on the horizon, it’s unlikely that the rumor mill will quiet down anytime soon. While Gunn seems to understand that fans enjoy speculating about potential projects, he encourages them to manage their expectations when they come across exciting news about possible upcoming projects.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is in development at DC Studios.
