James Gunn Unveils New DC Universe Strategy

James Gunn is leading a major overhaul of the DC Universe (DCU), aiming to balance interconnected narratives with standalone films to address issues seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Gunn has confirmed that Jason Momoa will portray Lobo in the restructured DCU, with the role expected to span multiple appearances. Upcoming releases include Superman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, while Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II, starring Robert Pattinson, remains in development but is not part of the main DCU. Gunn and Andy Serkis have emphasized patience as Reeves perfects the script, dismissing premature reports about deadlines. David S. Goyer, reflecting on his work with Christopher Nolan, stressed that story should dictate villain selection in superhero films. Gunn's approach aims to make DC content more accessible while still satisfying dedicated fans.
