Every Upcoming DC Movie in 2024 - 2040
Joker: Folie à Deux – October 4, 2024
2019's Joker was one of DC's biggest success stories, achieving critical acclaim and earning a slew of accolades, including two Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix. Although initially conceptualized as a standalone feature, a sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, was announced to be in development in May 2021, set for release on October 4, 2024, the only live-action DC film release of the year. .
Superman - July 11, 2025
After Creature Commandos kicks off James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe on the small screen, the next DCU Superman film is set to be the first feature film in the new franchise. Set for release on July 11, 2025, Superman will replace Henry Cavill's DCEU Man of Steel with David Corenswet, introducing a new Superman for the rebooted DCU.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow - June 26, 2026
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was also announced by James Gunn in January 2023, with a release date of July 26, 2026, later confirmed alongside director Craig Gillespie. In stark contrast to Superman, Supergirl was raised on Krypton and witnessed horrific events for fourteen years before arriving on Earth.
The Batman Part II - October 2, 2026
Matt Reeves' The Batman was created to kick off a new trilogy of independent DC projects focused on the Caped Crusader, so confirmation of a sequel was inevitable. The Batman Part II is set to be released on October 2, 2026, having been pushed back a year from its previous release date of October 3, 2025. The film will be a DC Elseworlds project, continuing the story of the 2022 original and from the upcoming Penguin series.
Batman Azteca: Clash Of Empires
Batman Azteca: Choque De Imperios (also known as Clash Of Empires) offers a new take on the Dark Knight lore based on the Aztec Empire, following the story of Yohualli Coatl as he faces off against the Spanish conquistadors after they murder his parents. While the first official image from the animated Batman film has been revealed, its release date is currently unknown.
The Authority
The Authority was announced by James Gunn on January 31, 2023, and while it doesn't have a release date attached yet, the film will be part of Chapter 1 of the DCU, titled Gods and Monsters. The Authority is a very different type of superhero team for DC, as they often resort to extreme methods to get the job done, so The Authority should take inspiration from Amazon Prime Video's The Boys.
The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold is set to reboot the Dark Knight again for the DCU, placing a new actor in the role of Bruce Wayne, separate from Robert Pattinson's iteration. While there is no set release date, The Brave and the Bold will introduce Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne's estranged son, to the DCU as a version of Robin.
