According to a report, some of DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's comments about past DC movies did not go over well with certain Warner Bros. Discovery executives: 'There’s been quite a few ruffled feathers.'
James Gunn and Peter Safran's comments during the DC Universe Chapter One slate announcement have apparently ruffled some feathers over at DC parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Gunn and Safran are the new co-CEOs of DC Studios and, as such, have the job of course-correcting the DCU after controversial past releases. The duo's blunt comments on sensitive topics like the old DCEU and Snyderverse have reportedly angered some executives at WBD.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY THR reports that Gunn and Safran's comments were not received well by some of the studio's executives. According to THR, "there’s been quite a few ruffled feathers" since certain members of the previous DC regime remain at WBD.
While Gunn might have sounded harsh when mentioning DC IP being passed around like party favors by the old regime, it is clear that the creative has a point. For better or for worse, Zack Snyder had a clear vision of what he wanted to do with the DCEU. After Snyder left during the post-production process of Justice League, the overall live-action DC universe lost any sight of an end goal or plan to connect its projects.
Important DC characters like the extended Bat-family, the Green Lantern corner of the DCU, and more have been kept from the DC live-action spotlight for far too long. Thankfully, that is now being corrected in the new DCU, with extraordinary characters like Bruce Wayne's assassin son Damian and the tragic/comedic future superhero Booster Gold being present in DC Studios' slate of projects to start the DCU's Chapter One.
