What to Expect From DC Studios in 2025

Summary

  • DC Studios is set to have a big year in 2025 with James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU operating in full swing.
  • Harley Quinn Season 5 kicks off DC Studios’ 2025 lineup on January 16.
  • The Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, is set to soar into theaters on July 11, 2025.

2024 saw DC Studios taking a more subdued approach, marking the initial stages of their transition from the old DCEU into the new era led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This fresh phase is expected to fully bloom in 2025, brimming with numerous significant releases.

2024 found me yearning for more from DC’s film lineup, but luckily, our parent company Warner Bros. dropped a gem – the highly anticipated Todd Phillips sequel to “Joker,” titled “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Sadly, it didn’t quite meet the sky-high expectations, leaving the cinematic year relatively quiet for DC. However, on the small screen, there was light at the end of the tunnel! The CW’s Arrowverse came to a dramatic close with “Superman & Lois,” and the new chapter for DC Studios began in December with the release of “Creature Commandos.

What Is Happening in The DC Studios Universe in 2025?

Harley Quinn Season 5 Will Be The First DC Release of The Year

Kicking off DC Studios in 2025, an adult-oriented animated series titled “Harley Quinn” leads the pack. Kaley Cuoco lends her voice to Harley Quinn, a character determined to carve out her own criminal identity following her separation from the Joker. Spanning four seasons, we witness Harley developing a relationship with Poison Ivy and assembling a team of her own, consisting of Clayface and King Shark. The upcoming fifth season of “Harley Quinn” promises to transport the duo away from Gotham and into Metropolis’ bustling cityscape, set for release on Max on January 16.

Superman Will Fly Into Cinemas In Summer 2025

2025 marks the highly anticipated debut of a fresh Superman movie from DC Studios, helmed by director James Gunn. In this iteration, David Coronswet dons the cape as Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult stepping into the role of Lex Luthor. This film serves as the inaugural release of the new era for DC Studios’ live-action productions, leaving fans eager to witness how high this new Superman will soar. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Peacemaker Season 2 Will Be Released

Apart from James Gunn’s upcoming DC film, Superman, slated for a 2025 premiere, we can also anticipate the return of Peacemaker, the second season of his own creation. In the DCEU era, Peacemaker is one of the few projects that will persist under Gunn and Safran’s new vision. This series, featuring John Cena as the lewd antihero first seen in The Suicide Squad, is currently aiming for a release in August 2025.

DC Studios Has Multiple New Projects In Development

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow Will Begin Filming

After Superman’s first appearance on screen in 2025, his cousin Kara is slated to join him in 2026 with her movie debut titled “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”. Filming for this movie will commence in 2025, aiming for a mid-2026 release. The casting process has already gained momentum; Millie Alcock from “House of the Dragon” has been confirmed to portray Kara Zor-El, and Jason Momoa is set to appear as a new DC character, Lobo. As we approach the start of filming for this upcoming Supergirl movie, fans can anticipate further casting announcements, behind-the-scenes photos, and potentially some early footage by the end of next year.

The Batman Part 2 Will Go Into Production

With the debut of the standalone show “The Penguin” in 2024, anticipation for “The Batman: Part II” has never been greater. Notably, there have been limited updates regarding Matt Reeves’ sequel in 2024, except for the recent announcement that its premiere has been rescheduled to 2027. Despite this delay, Reeves himself has mentioned plans to shoot the next “Batman” movie in 2025, suggesting that we can look forward to some plot revelations and casting announcements early in the coming year.

Updates From Mike Flanagan’s Clayface Movie

Much like how The Batman: Part 2 is currently in the early stages of production with an anticipated release in 2026, Mike Flanagan’s Clayface film follows a similar timeline. This suggests that production for the movie will likely begin around 2025, at which point we can look forward to updates on the storyline and announcements regarding the cast who will be part of the upcoming DC Studios production.
