James Gunn Updates DC Universe Plans at Comic Con

At New York Comic Con 2024, James Gunn shared exciting updates about the upcoming DC Universe (DCU), emphasizing its distinctiveness from the previous DCEU. He previewed his animated series, Creature Commandos, and discussed Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which will closely follow the comic's narrative while adapting it for a three-act structure. Gunn confirmed that certain DCEU elements will remain canon in the DCU, with references to past events playing a crucial role, such as the confirmation of Rick Flag Sr. existing in a world where his son is dead. He also mentioned that Peacemaker's second season will align with the new canon despite the first season being excluded. The panel highlighted the intention for each project within the DCU to stand on its own while still being connected, aiming for a diverse aesthetic across the franchise. Overall, Gunn's vision for the DCU appears ambitious and innovative, setting the stage for a fresh narrative landscape.
