James Gunn has confirmed that the DCEU will be more connected across film, TV & animation moving forward.
James Gunn brought a completely different energy to the DCEU with 2021's The Suicide Squad and its subsequent spin-off series Peacemaker, both of which received high praise from fans and critics alike. This is why many were excited when Gunn was announced as the new co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios along with Peter Safran.
Gunn was replying to a fan asking if the new leadership is "planning to give more DC character tv shows that’ll add to the story for the DCEU?" Gunn replied saying "most definitely," specifically saying that the "DCU will be connected across film and TV .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Other questions included one on if there are plans for games to be included in the canon, to which Gunn said "Yes," and if DC Studios has a hand in the comics side of DC, to which Gunn said, "Very open communication. As everyone knows I’m a huge comic book fan & I hope everything we do will lead to more people reading @DCComics . But Peter & I are not in charge of the comics - just all filmed DC entertainment.
While we are hopeful of the new direction of the DCEU, the franchise was hit with some notable issues just prior to Gunn and Safran taking their positions, most notably the Batgirl cancellation as well as the recent departure of former President of DC Films, Walter Hamada, which was quickly followed by showrunner and writer Seth Grahame-Smith of an upcoming Green Lantern series leaving the project and the series to go through a redevelopment.
