The future of one potential Superman spin-off show is looking pretty terrific.
Superman was released in United States theaters earlier this month. Written and directed by James Gunn, the DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures movie stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
According to a recent article published by Wall Street Journal, Gunn is now considering making two DCU shows that would serve as spin-offs to Superman: One would be focused on Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific character, and the other on Jimmy Olsen’s Skyler Gisondo.
What is the new update on the Mister Terrific Superman spin-off show?
As noticed on X by DC Films News, DC has filed a new trademark for Mr. Terrific and Mister Miracle that extends across multiple categories, including motion pictures.
The Mister Miracle part of the news isn’t terribly surprising, given that it’s already known that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are developing an animated show that is being made by Tom King. The Mr. Terrific aspect, however, is exciting in that it means the show is one step closer to becoming a reality.
It’s important to note that a trademark filing doesn’t necessarily mean the project is actually happening — this could just be a preliminary move on DC’s part so they don’t run into trademark issues further down the road should it end up getting greenlit. Gunn has also not confirmed that a DCU Mr. Terrific show with Gathegi is in the works at this time.
Having said that, Gathegi told Variety that he has a “multi-project deal” with DC, though the specific details are “unknown” to him at this time.
“What James is driving home is the idea that they’re never going to rush into production with scripts that aren’t ready, so even whatever they do have planned for my characters is irrelevant until the draft comes in and it’s shootable,” he commented. “So I don’t count my chickens before they hatch. I want to be involved in this universe in a major way, and whether or not that comes to fruition is just a matter of time and faith and other people’s hard work.”
