James Gunn explains why the DCU will have a shared universe of movies.
After James Gunn and Peter Safran’s big announcement today, there’s one thing we know for sure: the DCU is coming. After several years of a shared universe that was confusing and all over the place, now the plan is to make it right and have our favorite—and some less-known—DC characters band together in a slate of movies that will re-introduce superhero icons like Superman and Batman.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY So how does a shared universe seem a good option when standalone titles are faring so well? Gunn explained that the plan is to have their cake and eat it too: the Elseworlds part of the upcoming DCU will keep standalone titles going, but from now on the bar will be set sky-high for a project to exist outside the shared universe:
One of the biggest pieces of evidence of this is that Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller will remain a constant figure that crosses over from the DCEU to the DCU, to the point of getting her own spin-off series that takes place between Peacemaker Seasons 1 and 2. Safran underscored that one of the main goals for the next era of DC in movies and TV is to “minimize audience confusion” while maximizing the connectivity of the titles across all platforms, which includes TV, movies, and video games.
