DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran will executive produce, with Pete Jackson (not the Lord of the Rings filmmaker) directing. V for Vendetta started as a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. Set in a dystopian UK ruled by fascists, it was adapted into a 2005 Warner Bros. film directed by James McTeigue. The movie starred Hugo Weaving as anarchist revolutionary V and Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond.

The return of Peacemaker, coming right after the Gunn-created animated HBO Max series Creature Commandos and Superman, firmly establishes the filmmaker's voice as the central one to DC's present - as well as its future.

The Batman Part II is beginning pre-production and aiming to begin shooting in Spring 2026, potentially leading to its release on October 1, 2027.

DC Studios' recent Superman feature has become this year's third-biggest box-office debut in the US, showing theatergoers might not be tired of superheroes as expected.

The decisions surrounding the new DC Universe are unclear, especially with projects like Sgt. Rock, which seemed to have no strong rationale behind their development.
