After much speculation, James Gunn confirms the DCU's upcoming slate has been mapped out and reveals one movie that will be included within it: A Superman movie, sans Henry Cavill.
James Gunn has confirmed that he and co-CEO of DC Studios, Peter Safran, have readied a slate for their upcoming conception of the new DC Universe. In November, Gunn and Safran were confirmed as the new co-CEOs and co-chairpersons of the DCU in an effort to refresh the franchise and streamline its story. Gunn has been working on a 10-year-plan for the DCU, having previously directed the acclaimed film The Suicide Squad and overseen the HBO Max series Peacemaker.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Gunn took to social media to announce that he and Safran have a "DC slate ready to go" and will be able to share details "at the beginning of the new year." This exciting news follows a sustained period of uncertainty for the DCU, which is generally in a state of disarray regarding upcoming projects and current storylines.
As it stands, there are four upcoming DCU films scheduled for release next year including The Flash. It is currently unknown whether these stories will factor into Gunn's plans, but it seems unlikely that they will.
Gunn has previously spoken of Superman's importance to the DC Universe going forward, and while the young Superman film is the only currently confirmed film for the upcoming slate, there are many other important characters going forward that will also require attention.
