As announced by DC Studios Co-CEO and Co-Chairman, James Gunn, DC Studios is developing projects set in Korea, Japan, and Brazil in an interview with Hindustan Times.
Sources tell Nexus Point News, that these projects have been in development since the DCU’s conception. As reported by DCULeaks in July 2023, a Huntress project was in development for the DCU. The project will mostly be in Korean and will feature Helena Bertinelli, depicted as half-Korean and half-Italian. It was later reported by DCULeaks that Jung Byung-gil (Villainess) was attached to write and direct the series.
The intention is for Pom Klementieff to portray the character within the DCU. This has never been formally confirmed due to no deal being set in place at the moment. It is currently unknown whether or not a deal has been made for Klementieff to officially portray Huntress, but if it were there is a possibility the character can appear in projects prior to Huntress. Since the project’s announcement, fans have heavily speculated that this would indeed be Klementieff’s role in the DCU and have begun to speculate whether or not she would debut in season 2 of Peacemaker due to her being present on set as part of a set visit with Gunn.
Sources also tell NPN, the core elements that make up Huntress will be present in the several other projects being developed as part of DC Studios’ international slate. These elements include, an international setting, the series being written and spoken in that country’s respective language, and a cast composed of actors from that respective country. The most important element of these projects will be developed by creatives from these respective countries with most of these projects already having creatives attached. Although characters will be speaking their native languages in these projects, they are still canon to the DCU and are expected to crossover in other projects that are spoken in English.
Another thing to note is that these projects are only TV projects at the moment. Sources also tell NPN that some will be animated. Most projects will adapt characters whose origins already include them originating from their respective countries, but similar to Huntress, origins will be changed for certain characters to fit the narrative of the story.
This story is still developing.
