DCU Updates Reveal Plans For Lobo After SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW; SGT. ROCK, WALLER Production Start Dates

We have some exciting DCU updates to share with you today, including plans for Lobo beyond Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and what's happening with upcoming projects Waller and Sgt. Rock. Read on for more...

The DCU hasn't taken shape as quickly as some fans would have liked, though 2023's Hollywood strikes did little to help with that. Superman, however, is post-production and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has just started shooting in the UK. 

Peacemaker season 2 also hits Max later this year and cameras are expected to roll on Lanterns any month now. 

So, there's lots to look forward to and, according to insider Daniel Richtman, the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow script is "so good" that DC Studios boss James Gunn is eager to get writer Ana Nogueira involved in multiple DCU projects. 

As you may recall, she was attached to write the Supergirl movie meant to spin out of the events of The Flash, with Sahsa Calle tapped to star. That project was scrapped but she's clearly been impressing DC executives for a while now. 

As for Jason Momoa's Lobo, while he's only expected to play a small role in the Maiden of Might's movie, the door is said to be open to him getting his own DCU project somewhere down the line. 

Other minor updates include the fact that both Max's Waller TV series starring Viola Davis and Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig's Sgt. Rock movie will both begin filming later this year. As expected, they're almost certainly going to be among DC Studios' 2026/2027 offerings alongside Clayface and The Batman 2.

"So Lobo was...I collect comics, and I don't do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role,'" Momoa said while he was promoting Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom at the end 2023. "I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it's a f*ck yeah."

"I haven't received that call, so I don't want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I'm there," he added. Of course, he's since received that call and is leaving Arthur Curry behind to play the Main Man. 

As for Sgt. Rock, no one can quite believe that DC Studios has talked Guadagnino and Craig to reteam on a World War II story we have to believe will be heightened in some way to better fit into the DCU. Gunn has made no secret about the fact that not everything will connect so it's likely a standalone tale about the fan-favourite hero who we recently saw meet G.I. Robot in Creature Commandos

I legit never knew Supergirl was referred to as the “Maiden of Might” before this article.

I’m very much looking forward to a Daniel Craig Sgt. Rock movie as well! He looks like a Joe Kubert drawing.

Sgt. Rock and Lanterns sound so exciting. Supergirl sounds fun too; really like that director

Cool if true!!.

Isn’t Ana Noguiera already attached to writing the upcoming Teen Titans movie aswell?.

If so then it’s seemed pretty evident that they have been happy with her work on Supergirl so hope that turns out well then.

Well James Gunn also thought Flash was the best thing ever, so I'll wait for a trailer first

@Urubrodi - Yeah, and Brian Cox says that McDonalds Quarter Pounder with cheese is "perfect." I think maybe it's a little of what we call "marketing puffery." What was the new head of DC Studios going to say? "It's not very good, don't go see this movie that the company I work for is putting out."

@Clintthahamster - Well exactly, I won't believe in praises for something that hasn't shown us anything yet when they will say the same type of thing for anything they release. You will never hear him saying that a particular script is just so so or rushed or crap. Of course that what's released ("leaked") to the press is gonna be positive. Up to this point the only thing I can say about this project is that it has a good cast.

@Urubrodi - If you're saying that we can't trust the people making the movie to give an honest assessment of the movie's quality, yeah, of course not.

@Clintthahamster - Yup, was just addressing the whole "best script" ever comment that is present in every Supergirl article, like that's a guarantee of anything.

I really thought Waller was canned. Any story that involves her can easily be told in future seasons other shows like Peacemaker and Creature Commandos.

And after the latter, I'm pretty excited for more Easy Company. Really hope we'll see more of GI Robot alongside Sgt. Rock. Would be a waste not to have comic stuff in it.

@bkmeijer1 - with Luca at the helm , I think it would be a more grounded story but we’ll see…

Certainly would be cool to see more Gi Robot since he was one of my favorites in the show

I do agree with you about Waller but I’m
Willing to see what it’s about atleast , especially with creatives behind Doom Patrol & Watchmen working on it.

@bkmeijer1 - Yes Waller is better as a character that shows up in other things rather than starring in her own show.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 1/16/2025, 11:04 AM
@TheVisionary25 - had no idea that team was behind Waller. I'm a little more interested now, although I prefer it if it was more of a Task Force X/ARGUS show in general.

And yeah, Sgt. Rock could indeed be grounded. Still, a robot joining the company isn't that out there. I think it can work in a grounded setting. Now having ALl-Star Squadron or JSA showing up would dial it up too much I think.

@bkmeijer1 - ehhh , I think it does take it a bit into the fantastical bit we’ll see.

Honestly something like Suicide Squad could work better in tv format perhaps but with Peacemaker & Creature Commandos , it might feel redundant too

Don’t forget when it comes to DC
they always over hype themselves

Who could forget the 10 minute standing ovation for
Batman v Superman WB Executive preview

Or that some over Warner brothers were calling
the flash one of the best comic book movie of all time
including James Gunn

I have a really hard time figuring out how a Sgt. Rock movie fits into the DCU, but I think it is an exciting prospect. A comic book WW2 revisionist history movie could be cool.

@Shivermetimbers - last thing I read with Sgt. Rock, I believe was in Superman Rebirth. I believe Superman and Jon landed on an island and Sgt. Rock was there fighting dinosaurs or something.

If he's used in a similar idea, you could have a hero land on his island and they could fight to get off of it.
