DC Animation Cult-Hit Team Teen Titans Reportedly Getting a Live Action Movie
In the vast realm of superhero movies, where fans await to see some of the most exciting characters, another live-action feature film is coming straight from the fan-favorite DC comic universe.
The upcoming live-action Teen Titans movie can’t get a better universe than James Gunn’s revamped DCU, as the film has been confirmed to be in the works. Since the new superhero world will initiate with David Corenswet’s Superman the makers will ensure excellence with the upcoming lineup films.
Introduced in the 1960s, the superhero team didn’t gain popularity until its relaunch in the 1980s by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow screenwriter, Ana Nogueira, is writing the script for this upcoming Teen Titans film, which currently has no confirmed director.
The Live-Action of Teen Titans To Join James Gunn’s Revamped DCU
One of the latest trends in the entertainment industry is crafting live-action films featuring fan-favorite characters from comic books. Similarly, James Gunn‘s rebooted DCU will have its superhero team Teen Titans live-action, which is confirmed to be in work at DC Studios. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming film currently has no director and Ana Nogueira pens the script.
This team of young superheroes was introduced in the 1960s but failed to gain fans’ attention until the 1980s. However, soon after their relaunch, Teen Titans became a popular team fighting against harrowing crimes, while navigating through challenges. Widely recognized by comic book fans, some of its famous members of Teen Titans include Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg.
After the relaunch by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, The New Teen Titans emerged as DC’s No. 1-selling comic, exciting fans with each member and their abilities to fight evil. Since the news of this live-action is fresh, not many details have been disclosed by the DC Studios and even James Gunn is yet to share his thoughts on the upcoming film.

While the 2018 show Titans focuses on superheroes in their 20s until the Teen Titans concept was introduced, this upcoming live-action has the potential to focus on teenagers at the start, fighting crimes and navigating the challenges of adolescence and their relationships with one another.
