James Gunn's DC Universe plans include potential spinoffs following the Superman movie. Mister Terrific and Jimmy Olsen are likely candidates for their own series, with Mister Terrific being an established superhero. The studio aims to mimic Marvel's release strategy by producing two films annually and several TV shows. Although Jimmy Olsen's character has comedic value, his ability to lead a show is questioned. The success of these spinoffs will depend on audience reception and the characters' popularity.
A new report from the Wall Street Journal dove deep into the economic side of Superman, including what executives expect it to make at the box office and what the stars took home.
James Gunn is considering two Superman spinoffs to be part of that roster, one focused on Mister Terrific and one focused on Jimmy Olsen.
Mister Terrific, aka Michael Holt, is a bit easier to fathom, as he's a superhero in his own right and the only member of the Justice Gang with an empty dance card.
A spinoff about Jimmy Olsen is a little harder to justify. He's got the hilarious sideplot as a chick magnet, but he isn't exactly saving the day on the regular.
