A DCU project centered on the Rogues is in development

A DCU project centered on the Rogues is in development. (Read More Here)?

The project would be a crime/heist series and set in Chapter 2 of the DCU.

In 1985, DC Comics merged its fictional Multiverse into one, seemingly coherent world. Many years later, the publishing house would bring back its Multiverse and inspire DC Films to use the concept as an overarching narrative structure for its slate of films and Warner Bros. Television’s suite of ongoing shows like The Flash and Pennyworth. But before the plan could really get underway, DC Films’ parent company was sold to Discovery, Inc. and the DC production company was reorganized into DC Studios with The Suicide Squad director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran as its co-CEOs. Their first directive from the merged Warner Bros. Discovery corporation: ditch the Multiverse and plan a coherent, consistent DC live-action universe. Call it a “Shadow Crisis” — one that continued to escalate as DC film projects and TV shows hit the scrap heap across the later half of 2022 and Gunn kept assuring fans he and Safran would soon announce a plan for DC Studios.

The first part of their plan was revealed on January 31, 2023. Dubbed “Chapter One,” it will focus on the “gods and monsters” of the DC Cinematic Universe — which will seemingly be referred to as the DCU. The plan is ambitious with an equal amount of Batman, Superman, and lesser known characters getting the film spotlight. Oh, and then there are the three remaining unreleased films the previous regime produced to consider.

Clarification & Updates

The Authority

We previously reported that Matthew Vaughn was in talks to direct The Authority and later followed it up with Vaughn being locked in for the project.

Our source for this, realized they jumped the gun on Vaughn being locked in for the film and that he was still in talks.

A few days ago, Grace Randolph reported that the talks with Vaughn had fallen through. Our source still reports that he is still in talks for the project however. Although this information contradicts Grace’s, we are unable to debunk either source yet.

The facts are in this situation that Vaughn was in talks at one point and was the top contender for the project, but it remains unknown if negotiations are still taking place.

Superman: Legacy

Although reported by Deadline that shortlists for Superman and Lois have been made, we can report Gunn has shortlists for Lex, Hawksmoor, the Engineer, Eve, and the Doctor as well

Superman and Lois will screen test this weekend, followed by Lex in a few weeks (this information predates the trades)

Callbacks are taking place for the other roles

Gunn is set on finding a young redhead for the role of Jimmy

Waller

Danielle Brooks signed on not too long ago to return as Leota in a lead role (This was previously reported by us on our Twitter, @ rDCEUleaks)

Another set of claims brought to you by u/wholikesanimations who provided an alleged Superman: Legacy plot leak for the last SAITMQ.

Mr. Terrific will be in Superman: Legacy and he has a very comic-accurate design based on concept art

Eve Teschmacher is indeed in the film*

Takes back their previous claim that Midnighter, Apollo, and Grifter are in the film, although there was concept art done for them

Reconfirms that Hawksmoor, the Engineer, and the Doctor* appear in the film along with Manchester Black and Jenny Sparks
