Rumors about Dua Lipa making her superhero debut in the DC Universe have circulated for a while, but without any official word—until now. Fortunately, James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran, decided to address the speculation surrounding the pop star’s potential acting role.

Gunn, currently managing numerous DC projects—including the upcoming Creature Commandos animated series, the 2025 Superman film, and a broader reboot of the DC Universe—has been keen to curb certain rumors. Recently, on Threads, Gunn clarified that there are no plans to bring Dua Lipa into the DCU, putting an end to the ongoing chatter about her casting in a superhero role.
