A tip inside DC Studios reveals plans for a Justice League International movie
Imagine a team of superheroes that combines humor, camaraderie and diplomatic missions on a global scale. It seems that DC Studios, under the direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran, could be working on making this vision a reality with a new Justice League International movie. Although the official revelation of DC projects did not give any clues about the Justice League, the rumors are beginning to gain strength.
Details about the future of the DC Extended Universe have been scarce, especially after last year’s Hollywood strikes left many projects up in the air. However, some pieces of the puzzle start to fit together. Among them, the “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” project and whispers that something big is being prepared. The rumored Justice League International film could be part of this new wave of narratives.
A not so typical League
DC fans probably remember that The Justice League International is not a typical group. Created in the late 80s by Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire, this version moved away from the usual seriousness to explore more the dynamics between characters and humoran element that seems to resonate with Gunn’s vision for the new DC universe.
The original team included a mix of familiar faces and less popular heroes, such as Batman, Martian Man, Guy Gardner (who would later be replaced by Hal Jordan as Green Lantern), Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Black Canary, and others. According to rumor, characters like Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific and Metamorpho could be in the lineup we would see on screen, perhaps trying to recruit Superman himself.
Maxwell Lord takes the reins
A key figure in this team is Maxwell Lord, often described as charismatic if somewhat clumsy, who will be played by Sean Gunn. Under his leadership, the League operated from the Justice League Embassy in New York, facing global threats and carrying out diplomatic missions. Could this be the film’s approach to differentiate itself from previous adaptations of the Justice League that we saw in 2017 and 2021?
For now, this remains a rumor and many fans are awaiting any statement from Gunn that could confirm or deny these plans. If silence continues to reign, perhaps we are on the trail of a ambitious project that continues expanding the DC cinematic universe. Meanwhile, the idea of a Justice League International with a humorous twist and missions around the world is already generating expectations and debates among fans about what new horizons could be explored in this resurgent superhero universe.
The possible members that we could see in the DCU
Inside of Justice League Internationalwe find characters that bring a unique and diverse nuance to the team, far beyond traditional heroes. Booster Goldfor example, is a time traveler from the future who uses his advanced knowledge and technology to fight crime, while Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)is a genius inventor without superpowers who relies on his ingenuity and gadgets. Black Canary He stands out for his martial arts skills and his powerful “canary cry”, a devastating sound wave.
Martian Manhunter, one of the most powerful members, brings abilities such as telepathy and the ability to shapeshift, adding an element of surprise and versatility to the group. These members, although less well known than superheroes like Superman or Batman, play crucial roles in the League’s missions, emphasizing the importance of diversity and collaboration in a team that faces global threats.
