The scrappy super heroes of DC’s Teen Titans team are suiting up for a live-action feature film mission. The project announced Friday will be produced by DC Studios, part of Warner Bros. Discovery, with Ana Nogueira (upcoming Supergirl: World of Tomorrow) attached to write the screenplay.
Introduce to the DC comics universe in the mid-1960s, the young world-savers didn’t hit their stride until they were relaunched in the 1980s by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. The new lineup, led by Robin/Nightwing, brought in Beast Boy and fresh creations Cyborg, Raven and Starfire. The New Teen Titans became DC’s top-selling title, fueling the team through several refreshes over the years.
While the Teen Titans have appeared in multiple DC Animated Movie Universe and TV titles, including the self-titled 2003 series and the smash hit comedy-actioner Teen Titans Go! (2013) on Cartoon Network, the next gen squad has had less momentum in live action. A movie was announced as in development in 2007, but writer Akiva Goldsman later announced he was instead developing the Titans live-action series, which launched on DC Universe in 2018 and moved to Max in 2021. In 2015, netizens heard that a Cyborg-led concept and a Teen Titans movie featuring an all-female hero troupe were in development.
No plot, lineup or additional key creatives were announced for this latest project.
