The DC rumour mill has been churning around who is directing the upcoming Teen Titans movie, but studio boss James Gunn has stepped in to debunk the claims.
A number of platforms have been reporting that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson is in talks to direct DC's Teen Titans movie. "According to an insider, Sam Levinson (Euphoria) is in negotiations to direct the Teen Titans movie," wrote Geek Nation, and popular DC fan account GunnVerse later shared the news on Instagram.
However, Gunn has shut the rumors down. When asked about Levinson's involvement on Instagram Threads, Gunn replied, "No, it's not true. Not talking to any directors quite yet," adding, "This 'insider' isn't inside much," referring to Geek Nation's apparent inside scoop.
This isn't the first time Gunn has had to address rumours on his own social platforms. Just last year, Gunn took to Threads to let fans know, "Anything you've heard about that movie [Teen Titans] is made up or a guess. No one in the world knows anything about the concept for the story except four people."
However, fans are taking Gunn's statement as a win, as if the DC boss is talking about the project, it must still be happening. In fact, this is the first we have heard about the movie in months. The Teen Titans feature was announced in 2024, with Supergirl scribe attached to write the script. The movie has had few updates since, and is yet to find its director or cast.
It is not clear which version of the group the movie will focus on. Throughout time, Teen Titans has welcomed many heroes, including Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, and more. However, the Cartoon Network animated series Teen Titans Go!, which has so far run for eight seasons, and its '00s predecessor, the Teen Titans animated series, both follow Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire. However, with decades of DC comics to sift through, Gunn has his pick of the litter.
Although it might be a while until we hear more about Teen Titans, Gunn's DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters is in full swing. Following on from last year's Superman, this year we will see Milly Alcock's Supergirl take flight in her own titular movie this summer, and a certain gloopy Batman villain will haunt the streets in the new horror movie Clayface, which will hit the big screen just in time for Halloween. On the small screen, we also have Lanterns to look forward to.
