DCU Blog - January 2024 Edition: Supergirl Casting, Suicide Squad Discourse And More

Well, it's the end of January and the first month of 2024 has certainly provided plenty to discuss. 

Milly Alcock will play Supergirl and will appear in Superman: Legacy (which will be shot in IMAX)  before heading up Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow.

Other candidates for the Supergirl role included Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly, the latter who voiced the role in Tomorrowverse animated movies.

A director for Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow is being sought but at least one may be in contention if social media likes are anything to go by.

James Gunn has confirmed that Batman will not appear in Superman: Legacy. 

Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom has made over $412 million theatrically and was the number one movie upon it's digital release last week.

The script for The Batman Part II has yet to be submitted but rumours are that filming will start later this year.

Daniela Mechior (Ratcatcher 2 from The Suicide Squad) has confirmed that she's not in the DCU as of now.

Apparently Ta-Nehesi Coates Superman movie is still in development.

Anya Chalotra has officially been confirmed to be playing Circe in Creature Commandos. The show will premiere in late 2024 on Max.

Filming for the final season of Superman And Lois has begun. David Giuntoli (Elizabeth Tulloch's real life husband) will direct an upcoming episode.

James Gunn is currently writing the last episode of Peacemaker Season 2. Filming could start later this year.

Yes, I've seen THAT scene from Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League. I get the discourse but here's something else.

Kevin Conroy has voice roles for both Caped Crusader and the final part of Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths. 

The Christopher Reeve documentary Super/Man will be acquired by Warner Brothers for $15 million.

Reginald Hudlin confirmed that DC's animated Milestone movie will still be going ahead.
