We know that the new DCU currently being developed by James Gunn and Peter Safran will serve as a relaunch of Warner Bros.' previous DC Comics-based universe, but will it be a full reboot, or will some characters remain on board?
Conflicting reports have led to a lot of confusion, especially when we know that Gunn will soon begin working on a second season of Peacemaker and a spin-off focusing on Viola Davis' Amanda Waller.
Both of those characters originated in the Suicide Squad movies, so surely Gunn's more recent "requel" will be canon... right?
Responding to a fan on social media who was curious about Nathan Fillion taking on the role of Guy Gardner in Superman: Legacy after already playing TDK (who did survive, by the way) in The Suicide Squad, Gunn seemingly confirmed that the events of his film will not remain canon in the DCU.
"DC Studios movies (and canon) start with [Superman: Legacy]."
Seems pretty cut and dry... if it wasn't for those aforementioned The Suicide Squad spin-off shows! Will John Cena and whoever else reprises their roles simply play new versions of their old characters, or does Gunn plan to develop these projects completely separately from the movies and TV shows that will all be interconnected as part of the DCU?
Gunn has also indicated that we haven't seen the last of Margot Robbie's take on Harley Quinn, so we're still left with a lot of questions.
