The DCU in full restructuring
If you follow pop culture news closely, you couldn’t have missed that the DC Comics Cinematic Universe, the DCU, is currently in upheaval. After announcing that Henry Cavill would return to the role of Superman he had played since Man of Steel, the leaders backpedaled when the actor had already made the decision to hang up the costume of Geralt of Riv in the Netflix series The Witcher for dedicate themselves to this role.
On the other hand, the Flash movie still seems to be in the works as its lead actor, Ezra Miller, continues with accusations and legal issues. Amidst all of this, even the DCU’s latest feature, Black Adam starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has had to deal with his character being cancelled. To put all this in order, Warner Bros executives who own the rights to DC Comics have decided to appoint new people head of the studio.
A defector in Marvel and DC Comics?
At the head of DC Studios, we therefore find Peter Safran, renowned for having worked on the universe The Conjuring, but also and above all James Gunn, who we are going to talk about today. This name surely means something to you, since before arriving at this position, James Gunn is known for being the director of the first two Guardians of the Galaxy, MCU films which will be entitled to a third episode this year, still directed by the latter. In the meantime, the director had taken care of Suicide Squad, which is part of the DC Comics universe, which then gave birth to the Peacemaker series on the character played by John Cena.
Thus, during an interview with the magazine Empire, James Gunn would have teased that one of the Guardians of the Galaxy actors would appear in the DCU and that it could be Chris Pratt who plays Star-Lord in the MCU. During the interview, he adds that the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy is like family to him and that he should work with some of them again in his new job, which is as boss of DC Studios.
Thus, it would not be surprising to see certain actors make the transition from one universe to another, since‘with the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in a few months, the band of space superheroes should bow out, leaving the choice to those who embody them to go and do something else. This is for example what Dave Bautista who plays Drax had indicated. In any case, we should not have the answer for some time, not before we are viewed the latest adventures of the Guardians scheduled for May 3 in France.
