Another day, another instance of James Gunn revealing news about the DCU on Threads. This time, it's about "The Batman: Part II" and the still untitled "Teen Titans" movie.
Yesterday (Aug. 4), a fan took to the social media network to get the scoop on the latter DCU Project. "@jamesgunn," user @starship7567 asked Gunn on Threads. "Is it true that the teen titans movie will consist of the 2003 roster, but with Damian Wayne as robin?"
About an hour later, Gunn came back with an unequivocally blunt reply: "Anything you've heard about that movie is made up or a guess. No one in the world knows anything about the concept for the story except four people."
Sensing opportunity, another fan replied to Gunn, "What about Hush in 'The Batman Part II'?"
"Again," Gunn replied, "everything you've heard is a total guess or made up."
'Teen Titans' seems to be on the back burner for now
This exchange on Threads wasn't the first time Gunn has made news in the past week regarding the live-action "Teen Titans" movie. Last week, when promoting the upcoming "Peacemaker" season 2, user @ifalcao_ asked Gunn about the project.
"James," they asked, "have you read the script for Ana Nogueira's Teen Titans?"
Again, Gunn's response was characteristically blunt. "It doesn't exist," the DC Studios co-CEO replied. "She's been on WW for a while."
This reveal caused some confusion. The news that Nogueria was attached to a new "Wonder Woman" movie was made public just before San Diego Comic-Con. But back in February, Gunn and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran confirmed to the media that there was a "Teen Titans" script drafted by Nogueira (h/t Variety).
User @kritian_k26 pointed out this previous reporting from February to Gunn in a reply, which Gunn then clarified.
"I don't understand," Gunn responded. "We said the script's not finished there. I asked Ana to move to WW to finish that first and she did."
So, it seems that yes, a "Teen Titans" script exists. And no, it's not a finished script, and you or I don't actually know what's in it. Now, what remains to be seen is if Nogueira will return to the project at some point, if "Teen Titans" is on the back burner for good.
