Warner Bros. Pushes ‘Gremlins’ Movie Nearly a Year, Moves DC’s ‘Dynamic Duo’ Back 3 Months
'Gremlins' has original writer Chris Columbus in the director's chair.
Warner Bros. has delayed two films, pushing back DC's Dynamic Duo and Gremlins 3 by a year each. The company is currently finalizing its 2028 release schedule, which has led to alterations in the timelines of several projects. An untitled Gremlins film, commonly referred to as Gremlins 3, was originally planned for a November 2027 release but has been postponed to October 6, 2027.
Accompanying the news was a teaser featuring one of the mischievous creatures emerging from a backpack and playfully saying, "Uh oh!" The upcoming Gremlins movie will be directed by Chris Columbus, who previously wrote the original Gremlins and directed successful films like Home Alone. Columbus has been working on this project for over a decade, and it will likely be a while before any significant footage is released, as it is now two years away from hitting theaters.
Additionally, Warner Bros. is moving the release date of DC's experimental Robins movie, Dynamic Duo. Originally scheduled for June 2028, the film is now set to open on September 22, 2028. This new film will combine traditional CG animation, stop motion, and puppetry, resulting in a distinctive visual style. The project will be produced by Batman director Matt Reeves and current DC Studios boss James Gunn.
The aim seems to be a Spider-Verse-esque approach, utilizing younger characters with a unique visual style. Whether there is the same level of interest for an animated Robins project as there was for a character like Spider-Man remains to be seen.
