Titans showrunner Greg Walker reveals plans if season 5 gets greenlit in the future

In a recent interview with Screenrant, Greg Walker was asked if there were plans to introduce any new villains in the canceled show, and he confirmed that The Fearsome Five and Tara were supposed to have a huge influence going forward.

He said,

"The Fearsome Five got mentioned and Tara got mentioned. We were playing around with some ideas there, we knew there would be a limiting factor. The Bat-Family in that world was off limits pretty much at that point, so we had to continue to mine from within the Titans world. There were still options to go for, but they were going to require us to really figure out how to do that intelligently."

He further mentioned that Tara would have some limitations due to her powers.

He said,

"Of course, we would try that but there’s some constraints like Tara’s, powers for VFX are intense. We started to look at ‘How can we work around that without making a disappointing experience for the fans?"

He was then asked if there were any new Teen Titans members they tried to introduce, and he revealed that Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, had a huge possibility of making an appearance.

He said,

"I really wanted to bring Roy [Harper], and we talked about that a lot. There was always the possibility of doing that. But we hadn’t started the negotiations, meaning we hadn’t asked if we could use him. But that was a conversation."

While there are no plans to revive the show for now, the show's writer Tom Pabst hopes to see the show get greenlit in the future for another season.
