James Gunn Just Gave Us a Reason to Doubt the Upcoming Live-Action ‘Teen Titans’ Movie

It’s been a while since Gunn and Safran took over what was previously known as DCEU and revamped it as DCU. Over a year ago, Gunn and Safran outlined their plans for ‘Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters.’ In January 2023, the DC cinematic universe was described as undergoing significant but not complete changes, with plans for a multi-year storyline.

James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed the initial projects of this new slate on January 31. They announced the writers involved in crafting the overarching story: Drew Goddard, Jeremy Slater, Christina Hodson (who penned ‘The Flash’), Christal Henry, and comic book writer Tom King. The strategy included dividing the narratives into chapters, with the first one named ‘Gods and Monsters.’ This chapter encompassed five films: ‘Superman’ (2025), ‘The Authority,’ ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ and ‘Swamp Thing.’

Recently, we’ve discussed rumors about the development of a live-action ‘Teen Titans’ movie, and these rumors have been confirmed with the selection of a writer for the project. Ana Nogueira, who is already involved in ‘Supergirl: the Woman of Tomorrow,’ has been chosen to write the screenplay. The movie is said to start production in late 2025.

However, this news comes with a twist following Gunn’s latest interaction with fans on Threads. Gunn recently liked a comment suggesting that the live-action ‘Teen Titans’ movie might be fake, casting doubt on its existence.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that the movie won’t happen. As I’ve mentioned before, major media outlets have already covered the movie and the writer, and it’s possible that Gunn accidentally liked the comment. He often clarifies rumors straightforwardly, as seen with his recent debunking of Ultraman being the main villain in the upcoming ‘Superman’ movie. There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t do the same with a rumored “fake” movie.

However, the most plausible scenario is that the movie might not be live-action after all, or it could be titled “Titans” instead of “Teen Titans.”
