DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are moving forward with their new slate of projects, and their creative team includes Jeremy Slater from Marvel's Moon Knight series.
The two new DC chiefs spoke to Gizmodo following their big announcement of DC's upcoming film and TV lineup. Gunn said he has a team of writers helping him build DC's overarching saga, which includes longtime DC Comics writer Tom King and Moon Knight showrunner Slater. "Tom King has been my partner throughout all of this," Gunn said. "He was giving me answers to shit before I took the job. So me, him, Christal Henry who worked on Watchmen and is doing Waller, Christina Hodson who wrote The Flash. Drew Goddard, who you guys probably know. Jeremy Slater, who just did Moon Knight. That group of people we’ve been meeting with and, you know, putting all of this together."
Most of Slater's most prominent work involves comic book adaptations. Besides Moon Knight, he's the head writer and co-creator of Netflix's Emmy-nominated Umbrella Academy. The show, which stars Elliot Page as a member of a dysfunctional superhero family, finished its third season in 2022 and was renewed for a final season which will close out the show.
The MCU and DCU Are Growing
Marvel hasn't yet announced whether Moon Knight will get a second season, although Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige has said that the character will make more appearances in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Star Oscar Isaac, who plays Marc Spector and his alternate personality Steven Grant, teased that he's been having "specific conversations" with Marvel Studios. However, Isaac clarified that he can't definitively say whether Moon Knight will reappear in a second season or a different MCU project.
Gunn and Safran's plan for the future of DC Studios is extensive. The first "chapter" of this new slate of movies and shows will be called "Gods and Monsters." It includes the previously announced young Superman film Superman: Legacy, a Swamp Thing film, a Supergirl film, a Batman and Robin film called The Brave and The Bold, and an adaptation of The Authority. According to Gunn, the events of The Flash will set up this next chapter of DC's movie lineup.
On the television side, fans can expect a Green Lantern show called Lanterns, a Booster Gold show, an Amanda Waller show starring Viola Davis, a Creature Commandos show and the Themyscira-set Paradise Lost.
