James Gunn confirms there are plans for Deathstroke in the DCU

Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn has been working hard to reboot the DC Cinematic Universe, which will officially launch with Superman, which is currently filming.

Earlier this year we learned that DC Studios was developing a live-action Young Titans movie with Ana Nogueira write the screenplay. He impressed Gunn and Pietro Safran with his work ahead Supergirl: the woman of tomorrow.

As you know, Deathstroke plays an important role in the Young Titans story arc and Gunn recently confirmed that there are plans for Deathstroke in the DCU.

Gunn was asked on Instagram to respond with a wink if he has “plans” for Deathstroke, and he responded by signaling that Deathstroke is coming. I imagine he will play a crucial role in the DCU.

Gunn was also asked on Threads about the rumors about it Young Titans filming will begin in late 2024. He has yet to confirm that the project is in development and responded “No.”

Young Titans they were initially introduced in the 1960s and are a dynamic team of young superheroes who band together to protect the world from various threats. Led by Robin, Batman’s former sidekick, the team is made up of a diverse team that includes the likes of Starfire, Kid Flash, Raven, Aqualad, Wondergirl, Beast Boy and Cyborg.

Over the course of their adventures, the Teen Titans have faced villains such as Deathstroke, Trigon, and the Brotherhood of Evil, while also dealing with the complexities of life as a teenager.

Through various comic book series, animated series, and live-action adaptations, the Teen Titans have remained a huge hit among fans over the years.

There were plans for a big Deathstroke storyline with Ben Affleck’s The Batman movie starring Joe Manganiello to systematically destroy Batman’s life, but we’ll never see that happen.

Is there another actor you’d like to see play Deathstroke in Gunn’s DCU?
