James Gunn Unveils New DC Universe Plans

James Gunn's new animated series 'Creature Commandos' marks the launch of the DC Universe (DCU) under his leadership, following the previous DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The series, which incorporates elements from earlier projects like 'The Suicide Squad' and 'Peacemaker,' is expected to deliver Gunn's signature blend of humor, gore, and emotional depth, with early predictions suggesting a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it serves as the first installment of the DCU's 'Gods and Monsters' phase, some DCEU events remain canon, except for references to the Justice League, which will undergo a complete recasting. Additionally, Gunn has teased the significant inclusion of Deathstroke, a prominent villain, in the new DCU, further shifting focus from the Snyderverse. Fans are eager to see how this transition will redefine iconic characters, especially with the upcoming Superman film set for next year. Overall, the anticipation surrounding 'Creature Commandos' indicates a promising start to Gunn's vision for the DC Universe.
