Even the most ardent Marvel fans will agree that watching so much content feels like homework, and James Gunn hopes to avoid that in the new DCU.
After a few rocky years at DC where the franchise never really materialized into a coherent interconnected universe, next week we'll see the arrival of BioStrike , which Gunn co-leads with DC Studios The first project launched under the new Dublin City University (DCU). Of course, there are still a lot of lingering questions about the old DCU, and in a recent interview with Collider ahead of the premiere of BioSpace, Gunn clarified a few things about what is canon, as well as his thoughts on all the must-watch content feelings. The Cinematic Universe has to offer.

When asked if The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker will become canon in the new DCU, given that Peacemaker Season 2 will be canon, Gunn explained, “Peacemaker is very simple. Peacemaker Season 1 is basically canon except for the final appearance of Justice League, and you'll see some of that in Peacemaker Season 2. Suicide Squad may be a little loose.
“We know Rick Flag Sr. was angry because his son was killed by the Peacemakers, so we know this happened in the past and we have something to refer to in order to think about what happened, but this The situation exists in canon because it's mentioned in “Bio Squad,” not necessarily because it exists in “Suicide Squad.”
Gunn also talked about his love for DC, telling Collider, “A lot of DC, to me, the real fun is building the world, not just building the story. I don't think that's the case with the DCCU.” Oh, it's a story we've told in multiple movies and TV shows about a big bad thing. “As a viewer, I don't want to do the homework to watch everything. It's more like an interconnected universe that exists in one place, which is the DCU, and it's different depending on who's in it. Artists, directors and production designers are creating these shows. ”
We obviously all know that Gunn directed all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel, the third of which was directly influenced by the events of Avengers: Endgame , so this does feel like a huge departure for Marvel. A small dig (and it's a fair dig, you have to watch so much to really understand what's going on).
DC Studios is sure to have a wide range of projects under Gunn's leadership, with the DCU itself apparently featuring movies from Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and even Teen Titans, as well as Biocommando, Peacemaker, Lantern ” and “Booster Gold” and other shows. There's also otherworldly stuff, like Batman 2 and that wild-sounding CGI/stop-motion animation/live-action Robins movie. At least you can't say Gunn isn't interested in variety.
