While appearing on the SmatLess Podcast, Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca, Co-Chairs and CEOs of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, let slip that James Gunn and Peter Safran are working on a live-action Teen Titans and an animated Teen Titans Go! Project. Speaking with the hosts, Abdy and De Luca stated, "I think James and Peter are working on a live-action Teen Titans, and a new Teen Titans Go! I think, actually, too." Word of a potential live-action Teen Titans film has been around since last year, when THR reported on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow screenwriter penning a script for the team film. However, a new Teen Titans Go! Animated film seems to also be in development.

I think James and Peter are working on a live-action Teen Titans, and a new Teen Titans Go! I think, actually, too.

Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! Are Perfect For The DC Universe

Titans was a live-action adaptation of the comic characters that debuted in 2018 and ran for four seasons. It featured Robin, Beast, Starfire, and Raven, and the tone was more mature for adult audiences. While little is known about the live-action Teen Titans film in the DCU, it will likely avoid this direction, playing for teen audiences, much like the characters at its core. However, the eclectic team could be perfect for the DCU, as they have continued to prove popular over the years.

Teen Titans Go! Is an animated series geared toward younger audiences. It features many of the same characters, including Cyborg. The show has seen great success, running for nine seasons. They even had a theatrically released film in 2018's Teen Titans Go! To The Movies. There was also the straight-to-video release Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans, which saw their universe clash with that of the 2003 Teen Titans series. Teen Titans Go! Also had one of the strangest TV movies, with Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam, which is just the characters watching Space Jam and making comments à la Mystery Science Theater.

The characters and style of Teen Titans Go! Still endure with young audiences, making it a great fit to expand the DC Universe to younger superhero fans. While further details will be forthcoming as the projects develop, the Teen Titans seem to have a bright future in the DC Universe, with multiple projects to be excited about.
