While superhero cinematic universes are all the rage in the world of cinema in this day and age, it has been nothing more than an outlet for Marvel Studios to flex their critical and financial muscles with a behemoth monopoly over the genre. But James Gunn and his co-CEO Peter Safran are all set to take the MCU head-on with their upcoming DC Films’ very own cinematic universe.
And thus, as this change has been in the works for many months now, the future of the upcoming DCU is taking shape, all thanks to the efforts of the new management at Warner Bros. Discovery. Along with many new and exciting characters and storylines set to be brought to the big screen, James Gunn has recently also revealed his plans to bring the lesser-known character of DC Comics in one of his upcoming films.
