James Gunn, the director of Superman, has recently clarified the sequence of upcoming projects in the DC Universe by disclosing their planned release order. In his new role as co-CEO and chairman alongside Peter Safran, he announced that the rebooted DC’s initial phase will be named “Gods and Monsters.” During a press conference in 2023, they revealed their intention to establish a coherent cinematic universe at DC with a two-part blueprint.
James Gunn confirms Superman’s timeline with other DCU projects
The current director of The Suicide Squad (2021) has recently divulged details regarding the sequence of upcoming DC Universe projects, outlining their planned release dates for the future.
A user on Threads posed a question to James Gunn: “Will you establish a DC Universe timeline similar to how Disney+ organizes the MCU for viewing in chronological order on HBO Max?” To this, he responded: “At the moment, it’s more or less based on when the movies and shows are released – with exceptions like flashbacks. Shows such as Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, Lanterns, and Supergirl.
Furthermore, it’s been confirmed that Blue Beetle, released in 2023, is integrated into the DC Universe timeline. In a post on Threads in September 2023, Gunn clarified doubts about Blue Beetle’s status within the DCU when a fan asked if it was canon. Gunn assured fans that Xolo Maridueña will continue portraying Blue Beetle, similar to how Viola Davis plays Amanda Waller and John Cena plays Peacemaker in the DCU. (Source: SuperHeroHype)
Additionally, as per a report by Collider, during the announcement of the DC Universe (DCU) in January 2023, Gunn mentioned that they won’t be following the approach some TV shows take by improvising as they progress. Instead, he and Peter Safran have devised an “eight to ten-year roadmap” for DCU, which includes “two main chapters”. However, this plan represents the fundamental story we’ll tell, but it is not the end of the universe itself.
