James Gunn Debunks Latest Rumors Tied to Upcoming ‘Booster Gold’ DCU Show

DCU has plenty of projects in the works, starting with the animated ‘Creature Commandos’ to ‘Superman’ bound to be released in 2025, and ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ which recently got a release date update.

One project that is rarely talked about when it comes to the DCU is the upcoming ‘Booster Gold’ TV Show, focusing on the hero of the same name.

Recently, a production listing stated that ‘Booster Gold’ is entering production on July 8th. James Gunn was listed as producer along with Peter Safran, with John Papsidera being credited as casting director. While this did seem odd since we know that this year was reserved for ‘Superman,’ ‘Waller’ and ‘Peacemaker’ season 2 production, our suspicions were confirmed by Gunn who debunked the whole thing via his Threads account.

Gunn cleared up that ‘Booster Gold’ is still being worked on but production is not imminent.

This makes sense, if the production was truly this close, we would by now get plenty of leaks and rumors surrounding the casting, costumes, and plot of the show overall.

If you can recall the history of ‘Booster Gold’ production, you will certainly notice that it’s quite long. In November 2011, Syfy ordered a television series based on Booster Gold, developed by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. However, despite Kreisberg submitting a script in June 2013, the project never materialized. On January 31, 2023, James Gunn announced the first part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, which included Booster Gold among the projects, and this is pretty much all we know about the show.
