Rumors of Booster Gold being canceled began circulating after fans noticed that David Jenkins, the Our Flag Means Death creator attached to write the Booster Gold pilot, had deleted his previous posts about Booster Gold from his Instagram feed. From there, the speculation escalated further, with additional claims that Jenkins had unfollowed Gunn on the platform entirely, which proved entirely false upon inspection. By the time the cancellation narrative had fully taken hold across social media, Jenkins stepped in to address it directly. “As far as I know, it [Booster Gold] is still in the pipeline,” he confirmed in a fan reply on Instagram. The phrasing, however, is notably guarded. Jenkins did not explicitly confirm his own continued involvement with the project, leaving open the possibility that the series is moving forward under new creative leadership while he has quietly stepped away.
Booster Gold Remains One of the DCU’s Most Exciting Projects
The original DCU slate has evolved considerably since its announcement. Clayface, a body horror feature directed by James Watkins, is set to hit theaters on September 11, 2026, and represents one of the bolder tonal departures in the franchise. In addition, Superman has already received a greenlit sequel in Man of Tomorrow, scheduled for July 9, 2027, with Gunn returning to write and direct. On the animation front, DC Studios has expanded with Mister Miracle, a DCU animated series written and executive produced by Tom King, adapting his acclaimed 12-issue miniseries. Meanwhile, Supergirl scribe Ana Nogueira is developing a Teen Titans movie, though she has temporarily set aside that project to focus on a solo Wonder Woman film script.
