Carl Pei said the company is looking at the US as a priority market.
Nothing Phone (2) will be more premium than the Phone (1).
Nothing Phone (2) launch date has not been set yet but the brand is reportedly eyeing a late 2023 release for the device in the US.
Nothing Phone (2) Launch
Nothing CEO and co-founder Carl Pei has confirmed to Inverse that the company will make a significant push into the U.S. with its next flagship Android phone, the Phone (2), launching later this year. “We decided to make the U.S. our No. 1 priority in terms of markets,” Pei says.
“We couldn’t do it earlier because we were only in our second year and our hands were tied building the team as we were building the products. Now as we’re on a more solid footing, we can take a step forward.”
The important thing to know about Nothing is that it’s not just a company creating new gadgets.
When you buy into the brand and its eye-catching transparent product designs, you’re going on a journey with the company.
It’s a bit like building a ship as it sails across the sea. Supporting Nothing is risky because there’s no guarantee that things will pan out.
Any number of unforeseen circumstances could crop up along the way. You have to be okay with the company starting from scratch, and patient as it builds teams at every level.
Even with a veteran like Pei, who co-founded OnePlus and helped grow it into a global brand and powerhouse, that means understanding that Nothing is still figuring stuff out as it goes.
In several conversations over the past year, Pei has explained why Nothing had to build toward the Phone (1) with wireless earbuds first, and why they couldn’t just launch the phone in U.S.
It really comes down to the numbers and logistics. For a startup, the Ear (1) was in many ways a test to gauge demand.
“We did almost 10x the revenue last year [in 2022 globally] compared to [2021], Pei says. “We did more than $200 million USD last year; the first year we did something like $24 million USD. We’re growing quite quickly. We shipped over a million products already.”
The astronomical growth in revenue and unit sales in regions with less red tape to launch products has provided two important things for Nothing.
One: Proof that there’s demand for its products. And two: The volume has given the company more leverage with component suppliers and production factories that previously refused to work with them in the early days.
When you make a smartphone for the U.S. you need to work with the carriers on certification and adapting some of their features into your OS,” Pei says. “We didn’t have the resources for that before and now we do.”
The keyword here is resources.
Pei adds that the company doubled in size last year, growing from 200 people in 2021 to 400 today.
More people means more brains to work on stuff like carrier certification, quality assurance, marketing, retail logistics, etc. It’s basic Business 101.
“We’re really excited about the U.S. market because it’s a big country. If you look at our earbuds sales, about one-third comes from the U.S. And by not launching our phone in the U.S., we’re leaving potentially a third of the volume on the table.”
Is it any surprise that Nothing’s next Android phone will be called the Phone (2)? While Pei confirmed the smartphone name and its launch “later this year” he didn’t share Any information on what the device would look like.
Nothing Phone (2) launch reportedly in the works, will be “more premium” than Phone (1)
“We’re developing a smartphone that’s more premium than the Nothing Phone (1) and software will be a big focus area for us,” Pei says.
I tell him that “more premium” sure sounds like a smartphone that competes with the iPhone Pros and Samsung Galaxy Ultras and pixel pros.
Expected specs like Qualcomm’s top-of-the-Snapdragon 8 Gen 2chipset opposed to the mid range one in the Phone (1). I draw parallels between the Phone (2), a premium phone that could potentially undercut the competition on price, and past OnePlus phones that offered flagship specs without the flagship pricing.
I think the market and the industry have moved a lot since those days.
For us, the Phone (1)’s spec sheet was pretty usable in terms of user experience,” Pei says. “Mobile chipsets have really improved over the last 7–9 years.
That’s why I want to avoid calling the Phone (2) a flagship because that would mean that the Phone (1) was not a flagship.
Within our own portfolio of smartphones, the Phone (1) was very much a flagship in terms of the amount of care we put into the product.
That’s why I used the word ‘premium’ [to describe the Phone (2)] instead, which signifies that it’s a more premium step up, but it’s still a flagship just like the Phone (1).”
Nothing Phone (2) Design
It’ll likely build on the transparent industrial design established by the Phone (1) and the rest of Nothing’s product lineup.
I’d also bet that the Glyph Interface the customizable LED system on the backside of the Phone (1) — makes a return on the Phone (2), this time perhaps with an API that’ll allow third-party developers to configure for it.
Nothing Phone (2) Software & Hardware
Distinct hardware remains core to Nothing’s identity, but the company is also investing heavily in software for the Phone (2).
“When we started Phone (1) we only had about five engineers on the mobile team so a lot of the work had to be done by other companies,” Pei says about the outsourced Nothing OS Software.
He added that the team is close to 100 people on software, and they have brought in a lot of people that he used to work with before in his past life.”
He says he’s “confident” that the beefed-up software team can create a “really fast and smooth experience based on Android now, which aligns with what I look for in software.” Hmm, where have I heard fast & smooth before? Android 13 beta “completely made in-house” Pei says. “People really feel like the Android 13 beta that we released is a step up from the previous Nothing OS that was half in-house and half outsourced.”
Now that Pei has confirmed that the Nothing Phone (2) launch is officially in the pipeline, we should hear more about the phone’s design and specifications in the coming months.
We should also get a better idea about the company’s plans to launch the device in India.
Ans) Based on the single phone launch so far, there is a possibility that Nothing could make an announcement in July. The Phone 1 was originally launched in July 12, 2022 and despite Carl Pei suggesting no immediate launch plans, Nothing could possibly announce something by the mid or end of 2023.
2) Nothing Phone 2: What could it look like?
Ans) We expect the Nothing Phone 2 to retain the same transparent back design that we saw on the Phone 1. Nothing could refine the back pattern and may even alter the design of the Glyph lights. The phone could continue to ape the boxy design of the Apple iPhone 14, or it could copy the rumoured “curved edge” design expected on the iPhone 15.
3) Nothing Phone 2: What could be the specifications?
Ans) Nothing Phone 1 debuted with a healthy midrange specifications set and we expect the Phone 2 to make an upgrade. Carl Pei could follow the strategy of his previous brand OnePlus, and may launch the Phone 2 at a slightly higher price. Nothing could possibly use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 platform for offering an increment in overall performance. The 120Hz OLED display could stay and the same could be said for the dual 50MP camera at the back. Nothing could also upgrade the charging speed to 45W, which is the supported maximum charging speed.
4) Nothing Phone 2: Expected prices in India ?
Ans) The Nothing Phone 1 launched at a starting price of Rs. 31999 and it is possible that Nothing could launch the Phone 2 with upgraded specifications at a slightly higher hiked price. Hence, we expect the Phone 2 to start at a price of approximately Rs. 40000.
5) Highlights of Nothing Phone(1)
Ans) Nothing Phone (1) launched globally in an online event on Nothing’s official YouTubechannel! Founder Carl Pei shared all the details about the Nothing Phone (1). Nothing Phone (1)’s FIRST Glymph Interface teased during the event. Carl Pei shared that Glymph lights are customisable based on different functions. From chargung status at the botton, LED light coil around the cameras, and sync interface based on ringtones, Glymph lights have a lot.
Nothing Phone (1) used Gorilla Glass 5 protection and the frame is made from recycled Aluminium frame to keep the smartphone light. It features 6.55-inch flexible OLED display with HDR10+ colours. It supports a 120Hz of refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.

FAQ’s on Apple IPhone 14, IPhone 14 plus & Flipkart IPhone Sale
1) How did Apple’s iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via satellite feature help women save their life in canada ?
Ans) At first, these two women checked Google Maps for an alternate route as an accident closed the highway. Then they decided to take a detour through the Holmes Forest Service Road. This road was partially plowed since last week, and the pair made it to the point where the grader had stopped.
Dwight Yochim, a senior manager with BC Search and Rescue team explained that after reaching that point, they faced a “wall of snow” and the pair got stuck when they tried to get through it. Yochim also mentioned that these women were nearly 20 kilometres down the road and had no cell service. The pair remained stuck in the snow with no one knowing where they were.
Yochim also explained that once the iPhone user activated the SOS, it sent a message to an Apple call centre which then contacted Northern 911 which is a call centre in Canada. Northern 911 then activated a call to emergency services in British Columbia and provided them with multiple information including the subject’s GPS location.
RCMP and Robson Valley Search and Rescue were then able to use the GPS location which helped them to strategise and understand the possibilities of what might have happened. The GPS location also helped them to speculate how the women may have gone up the logging road.
After that, the pair were found by the rescue party that helped pull their vehicle out and sent them back on their way. Yochim also said that without this technology the process to find them would have been a major search operation that could have lasted over a week.
2) What is Car Detection feature in IPhone 14?
Ans) The iPhone 14 lineup, Apple Watch Series 8, second-generation Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Ultra have purpose-built sensors and algorithms for Crash Detection. If the user is in a severe car crash, the iPhone or Apple Watch will contact emergency services.
If both devices are present, they will work in tandem to determine if a crash has occurred. The technology isn’t foolproof, however, and can be triggered by non-crash events like some roller coasters.
Crash Detection utilizes an upgraded high dynamic range gyroscope, high g-force accelerometer, barometer, GPS, microphone, and advanced motion algorithms to determine if a severe crash occurred. Apple designed the algorithm to detect front impacts, side impacts, rear-end collisions, and rollovers.
If the user doesn’t dismiss the alert in ten seconds, another ten-second timer starts. After that, emergency services are contacted. An automated message with an estimated location and search radius will be played to the emergency services on a loop. Each replay will play back quieter to give the user a chance to speak to emergency services, and a button can be pressed to stop the recorded playback.
After hanging up with emergency services, a call will be placed to emergency contacts. A ten-second timer will appear that can be dismissed before the call goes out. Minor collisions will not trigger Crash Detection. The accelerometer can detect up to 256G of force, and it uses the data collected from other sensors to determine if a crash occurred. Some users have reported false crashes have been detected on roller coasters, but the results are varied. Apple says that there isn’t a “silver bullet” description that nails down exactly when Crash Detection activates since the algorithm has so many factors.
3) How is the camera of IPhone 14?
Ans) Apple updated the newly dubbed Main Camera, formerly referred to as the Wide Camera, with a larger 12MP sensor with a wider f/1.5 aperture. This enables higher quality photos and faster low-light performance. Apple clocks this at a 49% improvement in low light. The Ultra Wide Camera is unchanged, and there was no mention of the macro photography feature coming to non-pro phones. Apple would need to add autofocus to the Ultra Wide Camera to enable the feature.
The selfie camera is improved with an f/1.9 aperture and autofocus. When combined with the depth sensors used for Face ID, the selfie camera can take better photos faster. Also, improvements in the chipset enable 4K recording when using Cinematic Mode. Users can set 30fps or 24fps and take advantage of the better camera performance.
The device’s Chinese counterpart, the OnePlus Ace 2, is also going to launch on the same date in China. The brand has confirmed the launch date of the OnePlus Ace 2 and has posted a bunch of official renders and a teaser video.
OnePlus Ace 2 Design, Launch Date Officially Confirmed
The device’s design falls in line with the OnePlus 11 lineup, as the OnePlus 11 5G looks more or less the same, save for the different camera configuration and the metal frame. The OnePlus Ace 2 will come with a plastic chassis, as made apparent by the leaked and official renders. The device will launch in Silver and Grey colour options and will have a centrally-aligned single punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.
OnePlus Ace 2 Official Renders
OnePlus Ace 2 Specifications (Expected)
The OnePlus Ace 2 is said to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which will likely be paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB UFS3.1 storage.
In terms of cameras, the OnePlus Ace 2 is expected to sport a 50MP + 8MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup and a 16MPselfie camera. Coming to the battery of the device, the OnePlus Ace 2 will likely sport a 5,000mAh battery with support for up to 100W fast charging over a USB Type-C charging port. Lastly, the OnePlus Ace 2 will boot the latest Android 13-based ColorS 13.1 skin out of the box.
The phone with the model number PHK110 was already benchmarked at AnTuTu, reaching 1,149,494 with its Qualcomm chipset. The result is in line with the OnePlus 10T, which is also powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. We have to point out the result was achieved in Performance Mode, only smartphoneswith modes that artificially boost their hardware are capable of achieving over 1 million AnTuTu points with this SoC.
This simultaneous launch across multiple regions showcases the brand’s commitment to making its latest smartphone accessible to customers around the world.
Upcoming DC Movies and Shows in 2023 and Beyond: Release Dates & Details
Marvel and DC are among the leading creators of some of the major films in Hollywood.
Both the brands have not just been producing some of the most commercially successful films that offer great theatrical experiences, but have also ventured into television, making shows that follow some of their most beloved characters.
While Marvel has been launching new superhero franchises every year and making the cinematic universe bigger with every new production, DC has been focusing on digging deeper into the back stories of its existing characters.
Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman are some of their most famous characters.
Unlike Marvel, DC’s plans don’t include synergy across all mediums. Their movies, while containing many of the same characters, don’t generally cross over with the CW TV-verse that includes The Flash and Superman & Lois, or DC Universe streaming shows like Titans and Doom Patrol. Even the Robert Pattinson/Matt Reeves Batman is set in a different universe from the other current DC movies.
At the same time, some HBO Max exclusives are direct tie-ins to the DCEU, such as the Matt Reeves-produced Arkham Asylum .
So let’s take a look at the road ahead for both the DCEU and the bigger universe of DC movies and shows.
From Shazam!Fury of the Gods to Aquaman 2 and beyond, read on for all of DC’s planned movies and shows. Some of these are definitely happening, some are in development, and some have big question marks surrounding them, but all could wind up on the big or small screen sooner or later… (And head here if you want a breakdown of just which DC 2023 movies and TV shows are happening.)
For those keeping track, Here’s the full lineup of upcoming DC movies and TV shows
The Arrowverse TV Series (2022- 2023 Seasons)
The Flash Season 9 (Early 2023)
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (March 17,2023)
The Flash Movie (June 23, 2023)

Constantine TV Series (Canceled)
Madame X TV Series (Canceled)
Batgirl (Cancelled)
Crisis on Infinite Earths movie (Canceled)
Batman Beyond Cancelled
The past few months have been highly unpredictable for fans of the DC Extended Universe.
Many believed Batgirl’s unexpected cancellation would be the most contentious story to affect the franchise in 2022. Still, the fans witnessed the franchise undergo even more profound alteration.
Whatever ambitions Dwayne Johnson had of being a defining voice of the DCEU to build a future was in vain too. By the relative failure of Black Adam at the global box office, Warner Bros Discovery turned the keys to Director James Gunn.
With Wonder Woman 3 being cancelled and Henry Cavill being replaced as Superman, the Suicide Squad filmmaker couldn’t do much.
At this point, it’s unclear if Gunn is leaning toward a complete reboot or a partial refresh; the success of the future DC films may ultimately decide this.
Currently, fresh instalments in the stand-alone Batman and Joker franchises are also in the works, and four DCEU movies are at its peak to release by the end of the year.
So, here is a list of all the upcoming DC movies release dates and other crucial details.

DC Movies Release Dates Coming Out in 2023
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods – March 17, 2023
The first on the list of upcoming DC movies is Shazam! 2, which arrives on March 17, 2023, and is subtitled Fury of the Gods. Shazam! was both a critical and commercial hit, and fans clearly want more of Zachary Levi’s childish superhero.
David F. Sandberg is back the director’s chair, and DC Films has nabbed Helen Mirren and Lucy Lius as villains Hespera and Kalypso. Shazam!
Fury of the Gods was initially pegged to take DC’s Holiday season 2022 slot. However, in August WB made another schedule shuffle, and Shazam 2 was pushed back to 2023.
At the time of writing, the Shazam 2 release date is still March 2023.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods releasing close to Black Adam has many wondering if the two will connect prior to a Black Adam 2 or Shazam! 3 (despite there being no plans for either among upcoming DC movies). Outside DCEU-building, many moviegoers are simply excited that one of the freshest, most interesting, and light-hearted superhero franchises offered by DC shows no signs of stopping.
Shazam isn’t a character as well known as Superman, for example, but the critical reception to his first big-screen outing might indicate that this will change as time goes on.
The Flash – June 23, 2023
Featuring Ezra Miller’s return as the titular hero, The Flash has had the most turbulent production of all the upcoming DC movies, and has gone through directors at a speed even Barry Allen would admire.
Thankfully, with IT’s Andres Muschietti at the helm, things are actually moving forward with a June 23, 2023 release date.
The Flash will introduce the multiverse to the DCEU, bringing back both Michael Keaton’s Batman from the Tim Burton movies and Ben Affleck’s Batman from Zack Snyder’s. The Flash will also introduce the DCEU’s Supergirl, played by Sasha Calle, with Ron Livingston taking over for Billy Crudup as Barry’s father, Henry Allen.
After being cut from Justice League (and then restored by the Snyder Cut), Kiersey Clemons will make her canonical DCEU debut, in a story that takes inspiration from DC’s Flashpoint and begins with Barry attempting to undo his mother’s death. With so much potential behind the film, The Flash might become the most important film in DC’s future. However, many fans are already calling for Ezra Miller’s replacement after the star’s controversial conduct.
Despite WB and DC’s best efforts, both of their two biggest Justice League spin-offs, The Flash and Aquaman, still have far from certain futures.
Blue Beetle – August 18, 2023
WB has wanted to include Blue Beetle among their upcoming DC movies since late 2018, but only in early 2021 when Angel Manuel Soto was announced as director did production on the Blue Beetle movie begin moving forward.
Blue Beetle is now releasing on August 18, 2023. Soto since confirmed Blue Beetle would be set within the DCEU, and despite initial reports about it being an HBO Max exclusive, Blue Beetle will be buzzing onto the big screen as one of the DC movie’s 2023theatrical releases.
Like 2022’s Black Adam, Blue Beetle is one of several new DC movies to focus on a character those unfamiliar with DC Comics might not recognize.
Cobra Kai’s Xolo Maridueña has been cast as the Blue Beetle himself (known to his friends as Jaime Reyes), and filming was announced as wrapped in mid-2022. One of Blue Beetle’s villains will possibly be Carapax the Indestructible man, as Sicario’s Raoul Trujillo has been cast in the role. Bruna Marquezine will play Jaime’s love interest Penny, and Susan Sarandon is lending her talents to this 2023 DC movie as Victoria Kord – the main villain of the Blue Beetle movie.
Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom – December 25, 2023
One of the most anticipated upcoming DC movies, Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom, comes on the heels of James Wan’s Aquaman earning more than $1.14 billion at the worldwide box office, and the confirmed Aquaman 2 release date is December 25, 2023 Wan returns as director, and Jason Momoa is reprising his role of Arthur Curry aka Aquaman. Aquaman’s Mera (Amber Heard), Orm (Patrick Wilson), Atlanna (Nicole Kidman), and Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) all returning as well, and the sequel’s title is speculated as referring to the underwater city Necrus.
After a few delays due to wider DCEU reshuffles, the release date for Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom was set for March 2023. However, Aquaman 2 was once more delayed and given its current 25th December 2023 release date.
This was reportedly so that the VFX team could ensure post-production is as solid as possible. It’s possible the aquatic Avatar:
The Way of Water from Disney also made WB want to reschedule Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom to avoid comparisons.
Many fans weren’t happy about this decision, though not only is this the latest delay of many, but this time, Aquaman 2’s issues also caused delays to Shazam 2, which took Aquaman 2’s previous March slot in the DC movies 2023 schedule.
Joker: Folie à Deux – October 4, 2024
Thankfully, the continual reshuffling of the upcoming DC movies slate hasn’t disrupted Joker: Folie à Deux The standalone Joker bucked the trend for recent DC movies in that it was both critically acclaimed and kept fans of the Clown Prince Of Crime happy.
Alongside The Suicide Squad, it is perhaps the highlight of DC’s output in the last few years. Joker: Folie à Deux is confirmed to have an October 4, 2024 release date, and since it’s not part of the DCEU, fans can be much more confident that it’ll actually materialize as promised.
Joaquin Phoenix is back as Arthur Fleck given Joker’s box office success, as the studio optioned a sequel even though Joker wasn’t made with one in mind.
Todd Phillips is also back in the director’s chair. Joker 2 will costar Lady Gaga confirmed as a new spin on Harley Quinn, and it will apparently also be a musical, somewhat fittingly given the pop powerhouse’s presence.
Folie à deux is a psychological term, defined as a delusion shared by two people in close connection. Other confirmed cast members include Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson, and a returning Zazie Beetz.
Black Canary – TBA
Onto the less-certain new DC movies, a Black Canary solo movie has been on the cards for a while. 2020’s Birds of Prey was a critical hit but a box office flop, leaving DC Movies debating if a sequel would prove worthwhile. The DC rumor mill suggested Smollet’s Black Canary would appear once again in Batgirl before her solo movies arrived, but since WB unceremoniously pulled the plug on Batgirl, fans will never know.
In August 2021, a Black Canary spinoff movie was finally announced, with Jurnee Smollett reprising her role as Dinah Lance/Black Canary.
Initially pegged to release as an HBO Max original, Misha Green is screenwriting, but there’s no news on a director, release date, or supporting cast yet.
Black Canary is thought to be arriving sometime in 2023-2024. Whether it will remains to be seen.
If the Black Canary movie will go straight to streaming is unknown too, since WarnerMedia has indicated they want to move away from this direction and focus on theatrical releases for upcoming DC movies.
Static Shock – TBA
Originally announced at DC FanDome 2020, Michael B. Jordan is attached (in a producing role) to a Static Shock movie. Assumed to be an HBO Max project at this early stage (although, again, the state of HBO Max projects is now unknown), Jordan described his venture as “a new universe centered around black superheroes,” suggesting Static Shock would not be included in DCEU canon but instead trigger a whole new superhero streaming franchise, possibly based on the Milestone Comics characters.
Randy McKinnon is writing the script, but little else is known about the big-screen debut of Virgil Hawkins, a.k.a the titular Static Shock.
The Batman 2 – TBA
While there’s been no detail beyond the fact that The Batman 2 is officially on the upcoming DC movies slate, Matt Reeves’ The Batman is getting a sequel (as well as a few spin-off series like Penguin and Arkham Asylum).
It’s likely that Robert Pattinson will once again play Bruce Wayne, and the last movie ended with several options for a The Batman 2 story. Current speculation is that Reeves has set up an adaptation of the popular No Man’s Land story, where Gotham becomes a battleground cut off from the mainland U.S. after a horrific earthquake.
As with all upcoming Batman movies, the speculation is as much on the villain as it is the Caped Crusader, and many are hopeful The Batman 2 will show more of the Barry Keoghan Joker briefly introduced at the end of The Batman. There’s no release date for The Batman 2 yet, but it’s widely believed to be expected around 2025 at the earliest.
This tracks, since new DC movies in 2024 like Joker: Folie à Deux are already being promoted, but there’s been no marketing for The Batman sequel beyond the news it hasn’t been canceled.
James Gunn’s Superman Movie (In Development)
We can all stop holding our breath for Man of Steel 2. Rather than pursue a sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel, DC is pushing ahead with a new take on the character.
James Gunn is currently writing a Superman movie featuring a younger Clark Kent early in his reporting career (though it won’t be an origin story). Gunn may or may not wind up directing the film, but it is shaping up to be one of the first and most important entries in the revamped DCU line.
Gotham PD/Arkham TV Series (In Development)
Before The Batman was released, reports indicated that HBO Max would play host to Gotham PD, a police procedural spin-off to be produced by the film’s director Matt Reeves.
Reports were that the series would be set in the first year of Batman’s costumed career (setting it one year before the movie) and delve deeper into the corruption and conspiracies plaguing the city.
Eventually, Reeves said that the series had pivoted towards a focus on Arkham Asylum. But as of October, 2022, reports indicated that the Gotham PD series and the Arkham series were both separate projects that are in the works.
Antonio Campos (The Staircase) will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the Arkham show.
Constantine 2 (In Development)
Not only is Michael Keaton poised to return to Gotham City in The Flash, but Keanu Reeves is also set to reprise his iconic DC role. Warner Bros.
Is belatedly crafting a sequel to 2005’s Constantine, with Reeves set to star and Francis Lawrence returning as director.
The screenplay is being written by Akiva Goldsman, and Goldsman is also producing the film alongside Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. has reportedly axed the Constantine reboot series as a result.
James Gunn Projects/Amanda Waller Series (In Development)
James Gunn’s Peacemaker series has been a big hit for HBO Max, and multiple follow-ups are in the works.
In addition to Peacemaker: Season 2, the series will see at least one spinoff focused on Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller.
Gunn has also teased he may have even more DC series in the works. Viola Davis will return as Amanda Waller for that series, building on the fallout of Waller’s appearance in the Season 1 finale.
Watchmen’s Christal Henry is attached to write and executive produce the series, and James Gunn will also executive produce.
The Hollywood Reporter also had the news in October, 2022, that Gunn “is angling for his own new DC project (or two)” and that he and producer Peter Safran (Shazam!, Aquaman) are in talks with Warners “for a mystery movie, possibly more.”
Matt Reeves Projects/Penguin TV Series (In Development)
HBO Max is also developing a The Batman spin-off series starring Colin Farrell as the Penguin.
The series has been compared to the Al Pacino-starring movie Scarface. Filming is expected to begin in February 2023, despite the recent turmoil at DC. The Batman director Matt Reeves is also planning on other movies and shows based on Batman’s rogues gallery, including – – according to THR — “characters ranging from the Scarecrow to Clayface to Professor Pyg” and more.
These projects are said to be in the very early stages, however.
Wonder Woman 3 (Canceled)
After the long-delayed Wonder Woman 1984 finally hit theaters and HBO Max, Warner Bros wasted little time before confirming a sequel.
Both director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot were slated to return, and Jenkins previously indicated Wonder Woman 3 will be set in the present rather than being a period piece like its predecessors.
However, Wonder Woman 3 has proven to be another casualty of DC’s recent restructuring. Jenkins confirmed that she and DC didn’t see eye to eye on the sequel’s direction and she’s no longer attached. Wonder Woman 3 as it exists currently is dead, but it remains to be seen if Gadot will continue to play the character in other projects.
Man of Steel 2 (Canceled)
The possible return of Henry Cavill’s Superman to the DCEU in Black Adam (just ask The Rock, who spoiled the reveal before the movie even came out), seemed to suggest Cavill is being positioned as a key part of the DC movie universe going forward.
But that return will be disappointingly short-lived. Alongside the news of Wonder Woman 3’s cancellation, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Man of Steel 2 is also likely on the chopping block.
According to THR’s Heat Vision blog, Peaky Blinders‘ Steven Knight wrote a treatment that wasn’t well-received by Warners, and it appears the studio has opted to shelve the project entirely rather than try to rework it. Cavill has since confirmed he’ll no longer be playing Superman.

What The New DCU Plans Mean For Upcoming DC Movies
In December 2022 the news broke (via The Hollywood Reporter) that James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans for the new DCU/DCEU meant bigger changes to the upcoming DC movies lineup than anyone anticipated.
Patty Jenkin’s Wonder Woman 3, starring Gal Gadot, appears to have been put on hold indefinitely.
Since the Wonder Woman franchise was considered one of the safest IP in the DC Comics movies stable, this news came as a huge shock.
As did the indication that a sequel to Black Adam was also far from certain – despite Dwayne Johnson lauding the profitability of the movie and rumors of a Hawkman spinoff circulating just days earlier.
Black Adam was also notable because it reintroduced Henry Cavill as Superman to the DCEU.
This led to speculation about Man of Steel 2, or a sequel to Justice League, but neither is as close to materializing as the Black Adam post-credits scene caused fans to hope.
With Gunn and Safran branching out in a fresh direction for new and upcoming DC movies, it’s possible the old DCEU will be all but left behind – including the Justice League. There’s even talk of recasting some of the core members, with Jason Momoa is reportedly eyeing up the role of Lobo instead of Arthur Curry.
Whatever lies in store beyond the DC movies 2023 schedule, it will almost certainly be vastly different from what came before.
Other Potential Upcoming DC Movies: DC Movies In Development
At the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger in 2022, David Zaslav announced a 10-year plan for DC. He said, “Our ambition is to bring Warners back and to produce great high-quality films, and as we look at the opportunities that we have broadly, DC is one of the tops of the list for us.”
He also mentioned, “You look at Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman — these are brands that are known everywhere in the world. The ability to drive those worldwide with great stories is a big opportunity for us. We have done a reset. We’ve restructured the business. We’re going to focus.”

Every Other DC Movie In Development
In addition to all the movies on WB’s official upcoming DC movies slate, there are several more in various stages of development, some of which are connected to the DCEU/DCU. and some that aren’t.
Potential DC projects come and go, with some canceled almost immediately following announcement, and others being pulled only a few months prior to their supposed release (like Batgirl). With DC movies, it’s best not to presume they’re happening until there are trailers circulating, it seems.
