The live-actionTeen Titansmovie gets a new update from James Gunn as theDC Universefilm is in the works. One of the more notable DCU announcements to emerge out of 2024 was thataTeen Titansfilmis actually in development, with Ana Nogueira penning the script for it. Given the considerable popularity behind the Teen Titans IP, there is a lot of excitement for the team’s big-screen debut.
As Gunn has been keeping fans updated on what rumors are or aren’t true, the DC Studios co-CEO recently got asked about a new report regarding casting forTeen Titans. After one fan asked if it was true that theTeen Titansfilm would start casting this fall,Gunngave the following response on Threads:
Gunn explained that there is no truth toTeen Titanscasting starting in the fall, as theSupermandirector commented,“That’s complete B.S.“The Teen Titans project would mark the second DCU film that Nogueira is writing for DC Studios, as she wrote the script for Milly Alcock’sSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmovie.
What James Gunn’s DCU Update Means For The Teen Titans Movie
James Gunn debunking the idea that DC Studios is starting to look atcasting forTeen Titansin the fall serves as a great reminder about how fans should navigate rumors related to the DCU online. One of the big rules that Gunn has been very adamant about for DC Studios isthat a project will not move forward until the script and vision for the story are complete. Gunn mentioned in February 2025 at a DC press event - which ScreenRant was in attendance for - that"Ana Nogueira has been writing a Teen Titans script for a little while,“but that doesn’t mean the film is fully greenlit yet.
The facttheTeen Titansmoviedoesn’t have a director attached to it or a release date set for itmay mean that the screenplay for the team-up film is far from done, which would suggest casting is not going to happen anytime soon. Once theTeen Titansscript is where it needs to be, further development can proceed from there, including looking for a director and then building the ensemble cast. That is also contingent on DC Studios finding the perfect vision forTeen Titans, as the project could easily get canceled if they don’t find a natural direction for it.
Our Take On James Gunn’s Teen Titans Movie Update
With the many rumors that quickly gain traction online in the superhero genre,it’s great to see Gunn still addressing inaccurate reports about the DC Universe, especially with something as big as aTeen Titansmovie. However, the fact that Gunn didn’t say thatTeen Titansis no longer happening is an exciting update in itself, as it means that they are still developing the script. Hopefully, there will be some positive updates on theTeen Titansfilm later in the fall that will ideally get DC Studios closer to starting to find a director.
