James Gunn Finally Opens Up About Waller Series

The Waller series, which is connected to Peacemaker and was announced as part of the DC Universe plans in January 2023, is still being actively developed. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed this on Bluesky, responding to fan questions about the project’s status.

The show Waller was supposed to come out before the second season of Peacemaker, but it got delayed because of strikes in the industry. James Gunn later explained that Waller will now be released after the second season of Peacemaker. This change, along with casting news for other DC projects like Lanterns and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, made people wonder about the future of the Waller series. However, Gunn’s recent comments have reassured everyone.

The project is still active but is currently in the scripting stage. Actor Steve Agee, who will reprise his role as A.R.G.U.S. agent John Economos in “Waller,” recently told Screen Rant that the scripts are not finished yet. Agee mentioned that director James Gunn wants to make sure the scripts are high quality before starting production, which means filming likely won’t begin soon.

He also noted that Gunn will let everyone know when filming is set to start once the scripts are ready. This implies that “Waller” might take a while before it’s released. The show will feature Viola Davis returning as Amanda Waller, the powerful leader of A.R.G.U.S.
