The timelines for the spinoffs were chosen to provide variety and surprise for the audience. Citadel: Diana explores a futuristic setting, while Citadel: Honey Bunny delves into the past. The creators plan to continue expanding the universe and are open to exploring different timelines and locations. The heart of the Citadel universe lies in family dynamics and the emotional journeys of the characters. The creators aim to surprise audiences with unexpected twists and turns. The upcoming spinoffs promise to showcase the talents of filmmakers from around the world. Fans can look forward to the premiere of Citadel: Diana on October 10 on Prime Video.
