DCU Blog - October 2024 Edition: NYCC Debuts, John Stewart Casting And More

Oh yes, it's been a very busy month for DC fans. Most of it good but some setbacks too. Let's dive in, shall we?


After weeks of speculation, it was confirmed that Aaron Pierre would be starting as John Stewart for the upcoming Lanterns show, filming from January 2025 for a 2026 release on HBO. Pierre's previously appeared in the SyFy series Krypton.

Kelly MacDonald has also been offered a mystery role for Lanterns. She will play the role of Sherriff Kerry as well as a love interest for Hal Jordan. James Hawes will direct a block of episodes for the show.

James Gunn has confirmed that a trailer for Superman (2025) has been cut and will release soon. It's possibly for CCXP in December. Ultraman will appear in the movie along with Krypton, following confirmations from both a toy release schedule for the former and the latter confirmed by Gunn himself.

Casting for the character of Ruthye has gone under way for the upcoming Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow. Expect that to be revealed very soon.


Both James Gunn and Matt Reeves took to Twitter (not calling it X) earlier in the month to announce upcoming animation/puppetry movie, Dynamic Duo. It will likely be set in the DCU and will focus on Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. Matthew Aldrich has written the script.

Matt Reeves has also confirmed that another spin off set within The Batman universe will be happening, following the success of The Penguin on HBO.

James Gunn has confirmed that there's been movement on Paradise Lost and the DCU's Wonder Woman.

Josh Brolin hasn't ruled himself out of a future DCU role despite turning down the role of Hal Jordan. 


Creature Commandos made it's debut at NYCC with a new trailer and confirmation of characters such as Clayface, Rupert Thorne as well as actors such as Benjamin Byron Davies, Michael Rooker, Linda Cardellini, Gregg Henry, and Peter Serafinowicz in voice roles. Premieres on Max from December 5th.

Peacemaker will have a new helmet design in the second season as well as a connection to Creature Commandos. Filming should conclude soon for the Max series. Alethea Jones has directed for the upcoming season. A mystery character was also teased.

The Milton Fine version of Brainiac will appear in the final season of Superman And Lois but that's not Tom Cavanagh's role.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story continues to get a wider theatrical release. I'm hoping to see it next month.


In bad news, Joker: Folie A Deux has unfortunately bombed at the box office, pulling in a measly $201.4 million. It's been available on digital since October 29th.

A trailer for Watchmen: Chapter II also released. It'll be available from November 26th on digital with a physical release on December 3rd.

Harley Quinn TV series on Max was slated for a November release but will now likely be held off until early 2025.

Beast Boy: Lone Wolf is now officially available to watch on Cartoon Network.

A good month for the most part as we wind towards the end of this year for DC and in general.
