A year and a half after James Gunn and Peter Safran gave fans the first glimpse of DC Studios’ upcoming slate, most of the projects on the list have begun to take shape. Superman will complete production this summer and cameras are set to roll on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow this Fall, giving fans a double dose of El to bring the all-new, all-different DCU to theaters in 2025 and 2026.

Plenty of stories will be told through streaming series, as well, beginning this December when the animted Creature Commandos launches DC Studios’ Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Damon Lindelof, Chris Mindy and Tom King are working on putting together a pilot script for Lanterns, a terrestrial-based investigation story featuring Hal Jordan and John Stewart. And now, another the creative team behind another streaming series may be assembling.

According to a report from Nexus Point News, the studio has brought in a team headlined by Danny McBride to write the Max series Booster Gold.

According to the reports, McBride will team up with John Carcieri and Jeff Fradley for the gig. The trio have not only a long history of working together but also with HBO, having collaborated with the studio on the hit series Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. Should the report prove true, the only question remaining will be what role they write for Walton Goggins.

Described as an “outright comedy” by James Gunn, Booster Gold will tell the story of Michael Jon Carter, “a loser from the future who uses his basic future technology to come back to today to pretend to be a superhero.” While the studio has not yet cast an actor for Carter, Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You and Hitman actor Glen Powell has become a popular choice for the role among fans.
