While there may be delays caused by the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the current plan is for the new DCU to begin in earnest with Creature Commandos, Peacemaker spin-off Waller, and 2025's Superman: Legacy.
In the meantime, DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are still laying the foundations for this new shared world but, should it fail, that might be it for DC (especially after a disastrous 2023). If the DCU experiment fails, then we'd imagine Warner Bros. will either offload the brand or make movies and TV shows a rarity.
Gunn was recently asked about a rumour he's been pushed to include as many DC characters as possible in Superman: Legacy by Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav. That story claims the executive is already looking to sell the brand and wants to make it seem as appealing as possible with the reboot.
Unsurprisingly, Gunn has debunked the hard-to-believe story as a complete fabrication.
At the same time, the filmmaker was asked about a misleading piece from Screen Rant suggesting the Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths movie (from Warner Bros. Animation) is, in fact, a DC Studios title.
Once again, Gunn confirmed he hasn't announced any plans for a new Justice League movie and, if one is in the works, we're guessing it won't head our way until long after moviegoers have forgotten both the 2017 and 2021 efforts.
