Did James Gunn just reveal a secret DCU series in development? Details explored 

James Gunn has once again left DC fans buzzing with speculation.

During a recent conversation, the DC Studios co-head dropped a surprising hint that suggests another project might already be in the works. And the best part? He called it a "secret" series.

While Gunn didn't confirm what it is, the way he described it gives us enough crumbs to follow. Let's explore in detail.

James Gunn’s slip-up: What he actually said

When it comes to teasing fans, James Gunn is a master of the game. During his chat on the Peacemaker Podcast, he casually revealed he had just met with the writer and director of an upcoming secret DCU project.

He explained that their discussion involved budgets, VFX-heavy characters, and, most interestingly, the difficulties of designing superhero costumes. Gunn said:

"I was just meeting with the writer and director of a forthcoming secret DCU project that we're doing and they were asking us about how much VFX and how much it costs and how many VFX characters we can have...they're difficult to make look good and they usually cost a lot more money than it does creating a CGI character."

This makes it clear we're not talking about something already announced, like Waller. Gunn himself used the word "secret," which instantly pulled this new series out of the known lineup. Add in the fact that it's live-action and superhero-focused, and fans now have endless theories about what it could be.

Theories flying: What could this secret DCU show be?

Ever since James Gunn dropped this cryptic remark, speculation has been unstoppable.

Some fans believe it ties to Mister Terrific, especially since Edi Gathegi's version of the character was one of the highlights of this year's Superman. A solo series or even a team-up would fit the description, especially if the focus is on heroes with powers that demand heavy CGI.

Others are pointing toward rumored projects like a Jimmy Olsen-led series, which would give Skyler Gisondo's take on the character the spotlight.

Of course, Gunn didn't rule out magic-based or cosmic ideas either. Fans have been hoping for Zatanna to enter the DCU fold, and this mysterious hint certainly leaves room for those possibilities. But what makes the hype real is Gunn's enthusiasm. Back in July, while speaking to reporters, he admitted:

"Then there's another TV show that's my favorite thing in all of this, that is hopefully getting made soon. It's just my favorite thing."

If Gunn is putting this "secret" project above already hyped titles, like Supergirl, then whatever it is, DC is treating it like a crown jewel in the lineup.

James Gunn knows exactly how to stir excitement, and this latest tease of a "secret" DCU series has done just that. From Mister Terrific to Jimmy Olsen or even something totally unexpected, the possibilities are endless.

While details remain under wraps, the way Gunn has spoken about it makes it clear this isn't just filler. It's something he personally loves and wants fans to look forward to. Now all eyes are on events like New York Comic Con for the big reveal.
