James Gunn Is Creating A Bible For The Next Decade of DC

We’re on the verge of some massive modifications coming to the world of DC Comics. James Gunn and Peter Safran are actually the brand new co-CEOs of DC Studios, and so they’re simply begun work on reshaping the corporate’s films, TV reveals, and various different merchandise — apparently into one large, cohesive multimedia universe.

According to TheWrap, the pair held a city corridor assembly this week for workers the place Safran mentioned that they had “such a unique opportunity to tell one great overarching story … One beautiful big story across film, television gaming, live-action, and animation.” TheWrap’s sources claimed the duo “are working on a bible for a cohesive DC Universe that will span multiple business units over a full decade.”

Given that DC has been making big-budget, interconnected films and tv reveals for nearly a decade now since 2013’s Man of Steel, one might argue they’re properly overdue for some form of bible or strictly-followed blueprint that guides all of the corporate’s choices. But hey: Better late than by no means!

The subsequent DC film, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, is scheduled to open in theaters on March 17, 2023. (It simply so occurs to have been produced by Safran.) DC additionally has films of The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Blue Beetle all in numerous phases of post-production ready for launch — assuming they do ultimately get launched. Shortly earlier than Gunn and Safran had been introduced in to take cost of DC Studios, Warner Bros. canceled a Batgirl film that they had filmed and principally completed.
