It was quite the news week for DC<\/strong>, and things appear to be in even more flux (yes, really) than we have become accustomed to with this fledging superhero cinematic universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since new Warner Bros. Discovery<\/strong> CEO David Zaslav<\/strong> appointed director James Gunn<\/strong> (The Suicide Squad<\/strong>, Peacemaker<\/strong>, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. I & II<\/strong><\/em>) and studio producer Peter Safran<\/strong> Co-CEOs of DC, there has been a large number of conflicting reports that has only contributed to a much more larger sense of confusion amongst the fanbase as to what the future actually holds for this current iteration of the DCU<\/strong> (formerly unofficially known as the DCEU<\/strong>). The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/strong> released an article<\/a> last week that unveiled some pretty shocking developments for the upcoming DCU. Some of these reveals included speculation that the new heads of DC Studios<\/strong> have pulled the plug on potential projects such as Wonder Woman 3<\/strong><\/em>, Man of Steel 2<\/strong><\/em>, and even a Michael Keaton<\/strong>-led Batman Beyond<\/strong><\/em> movie, signaling an end to the DCEU as we know it. There have also been claims about a full-blown reboot coming to the DCU, with the “Snyderverse” actors signing off after next year (except for Jason Momoa<\/strong> but more on that a little later on). Gunn chose to address these claims head-on shortly after the news was released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this first month at DC has been fruitful, building the next ten years of story takes time & we\u2019re still just beginning.<\/p>— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) December 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
