DC Studios is consider two TV spinoffs of ‘Superman.’
Just as «Superman» celebrates its wide theatrical release, a report from the Wall Street Journal details DC Studios’ upcoming strategy, including news that DC co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are already considering two TV spinoffs of the film.
According to the report, one of the series under consideration would center on Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific. His character is a member of the Justice Gang in «Superman» and has proven a popular standout in reviews.
The other series would focus on Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen. Focusing on a character like Olsen might seem strange for a superhero franchise, but it worked for DC Comics who ran a «Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen» comic for over 160 issues.
The series was even revived as recently as 2019.
Along with revealing the two potential TV series, WSJ’s report also discussed DC’s goals for content output.
