Unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC has a very confusing structure with its cinematic projects. While some of the studio’s movies take place in the universe created by Zack Snyder, some movies like The Joker and The Batman take place in a completely different universe. In addition, many TV series actively developed by the studio take place in a universe independent of both the Cinematic Universe and other series. But it looks like DC will have interconnected projects under its new management.James Gunn has big plans for DC’s future
With the merger of Warner Bros and Discovery, the firm went through serious changes in DC management. The CEO of the new company, David Zaslav, is determined to increase the investments of the company in projects under DC and has already started to make important decisions at this point. In this direction, Zaslav has decided to combine the projects under the roof of DC Studios in the past weeks, and put James Gunn and Peter Safran at the head of this studio.
Gunn, a comic book fan favorite with the Guardians of the Galaxy series, The Suicide Squad movie and The Peacemaker series, will now head DC Studios and be responsible for the studio’s creative development. While DC Studios’ future plans haven’t been officially announced, Gunn has provided some striking answers on Twitter to some fans’ questions about the DCU.
Movies, TV shows, games and animations will be linked
Under the direction of Kevin Fiege, Marvel created a single universe for its movies and series. Unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC has had serious disconnects in its projects to date, but James Gunn doesn’t want that in DC’s future. According to Gunn’s answers, movies, series and animations developed under DC Studios will be linked. James Gunn has not made a statement about whether each project will take place in the same universe, but it looks like the universes will be merged in some way in the studio’s future plans.A few days after this announcement, Gunn answered another follower’s question and stated that DC games will also be linked to movies. If this plan of the company comes true, DC will have made a move that Marvel has been afraid of for a long time. Prepared under James Gunn and Peter Safran, the future of the new DC will be made public in the coming months. Let’s see if the fans will be satisfied with the new DC that Gunn will create.
Some active projects are not connected to the new DC universe
After the election of new directors of DC Studios, some statements were made about some of the projects that were actively developed. Except for the comics, all projects developed under the DC brand will be tied to Gunn and Safran, but Joker: Folie a Deux and The Batman’s sequel will not be tied to the shared DC universe. It is also considered that games such as The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Gotham Knights will not be connected to the new universe.
