According to new online rumors, Superman director James Gunn is looking to create spin-offs based on Mister Terrific and Jimmy Olsen.

List of all spin-off shows that could follow Superman
The following characters could receive spin-off shows following Superman:
Justice Gang
The Justice Gang, currently comprised of Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho, captivated fan interest following their debut alongside Superman. Moreover, audiences got a glimpse of their camaraderie and unique character dynamics. Thus, the group has been perfectly set up to lead their spin-off series, which could further build upon their established dynamic. The show could also explore their relationship with benefactor Maxwell Lord.
Mister Terrific
Mister Terrific is likely to get a spin-off sometime in the future. This is because a new report from The Wall Street Journal suggests James Gunn is considering making a TV show based on the character. However, Gunn has not officially confirmed plans for the series.
Despite the lack of confirmation, Mister Terrific is a strong candidate to lead a spin-off series. This is because his impressive technology-based powers, calm and collected aura, and pragmatic approach to situations provide intriguing storytelling avenues that could be explored in a potential spin-off.
Hawkgirl looks for Hawkman
While Hawkgirl has made her debut in the DCU, Hawkman has yet to appear. So, a potential spin-off could not only introduce Hawkman but also show Hawkgirl searching for him.
Jimmy Olsen and the Daily Planet
Jimmy Olsen is the second Superman character rumored to receive a spin-off, according to The Wall Street Journal. However, Gunn has also not confirmed the development of a spin-off based on Superman’s best friend.
Despite this, a spin-off exploring Olsen’s work at the Daily Planet, along with his unusual ability to charm women, presents exciting storytelling opportunities that can be explored in a spin-off.
Guy Gardner
Guy Gardner captivated fan interest through his abrasive personality and unique brand of heroism. Thus, a potential prequel spin-off series could explore how he acquired his Green Lantern powers. It could also delve into how and why he became the abrasive person fans meet in Superman.
