James Gunn, co-president of DC Studios, addresses fan concerns about the long wait between projects in the new DC universe, using examples from other successful film franchises.
The co-president of DC Studios cited other film franchises (such as 'Alien' and 'Avatar') to assuage fan concerns. James Gunn wrote on Threads, 'To be fair, a 5-year gap or more is fairly common in sequels.' Gunn cites examples like 'Avatar', 'Alien', and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to illustrate his point. However, it's worth noting that many of the movies he mentions were not made with an assumption that sequels would be forthcoming.
For instance, Pixar had only made one sequel before 'Finding Nemo' hit theaters in 2004, and the next one took another six years. The comparison to the MCU is also a little misleading as the titular protagonists of those movies appeared in three other MCU films and were heavily involved. Gunn's point might also stem from the fact that DC's future projects are still being figured out. The recent HBO series 'The Penguin' is the first project since Gunn and producer Peter Safran took over DC Studios last year, but everyone knows the real debut will be 2025's big-screen epic 'Superman: Legacy'. The box office performance of 'The Batman' will likely determine whether Pattinson's Bruce Wayne will be incorporated into the same world as the new DC universe
