“Not all films will be like Superman,” warns James Gunn on the future of DC

After Supermanall the projects of the new DCU must have their own identity, assures James Gunn. Nevertheless,

In less than a week. Therefore, the new film Superman Carton and has already garnered Over $ 250 million at the box office global (according to Variety), confirming a start -up with great fanfare for the new DC universe piloted by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Meanwhile, It is very encouraging for the future, but nothing has yet been won for The resurrection of the DCU. However,

The fatigue of superhero movies is there. Therefore, it would not be much so that the public ends up deserting the genre. Consequently, The next DCU projects have therefore Interest in fascinating And to stand out from each other. Therefore, An idea that James Gunn says he has integrated well. Nevertheless, Its strategy is as follows: “not all films will like leave each series. Moreover, film DC correspond to the vision of their authors and not that of the studio.

Beyond Superman – "not all films will like

After Supermanthe Gunn version DC will grow quickly. For example, Warner no longer wants to waste time and wishes to rebuild his heroic universe at high speed. However, We will soon have season 2 of Peacemaker (August 21, 2025). Similarly, Then come Supergirl, Clayface and the series Lanterns In 2026. Moreover,

Until then. it all looks like a planning of the universe extended to the Kevin Feige, bringing together a plethora “not all films will like of more or less attractive projects. So what would differentiate this agenda from that of the MCU? Apparently it would be the place of the authors. When we talk about having Damon Lindelof (Lost. The Leftovers) in a co -pilot of Lanterns you mike flanagan (Minuit sermons, Life of Chuck) to the scenario of Clayfacewe are already curious. But when James Gunn assures that it will be their individual vision which will determine each work of the DCU. This is where we hold out.

In a recent interview with CBS MorningsJames Gunn has “not all films will like confirmed that each film and series will share the same narrative setting. On the other hand, all his stories must have their own identity:

« Clayface will be completely different. Even if it happens in the same universe, it is a pure horror film. This is what we want to do: there will be no “home style”. It will not always be like Superman. Each director, each screenwriter will come with his own vision. Above all, we don’t want people to get bored.«

The Authors’ Law

An approach that contrasts with that of Marvel Studios, “not all films will like often criticized for his homogeneous tone. Where too many MCU films are alike. lack soul, Gunn says he does not want to make the same mistake. And it starts with not not do sound Superman The absolute model of the DCU. Without denying his style. bright vision of the superhero, the filmmaker wants each project (film or series) to follow his way in order to stay an event For the spectator.

At the microphone of Konbini (in their club video format). James Gunn explained his requirements for the DCU, by comparing him In comics:

« In comics, there are radically different styles […] All these characters are linked, but their style varies depending on the artists. Writers and designers in their case. In ours, the writers and the directors. We try to give people the freedom to create their own style and have fun with it. […] The “not all films will like scenario should always be finished first. »

So he describes Supergirl Like an adventure of fantasy et Clayface like a real terror film (more than Doctor. Strange 2cross your fingers). In addition. we already know that The Batman 2 – which exists outside the universe of Gunn – will retain his style of film noir. It remains to be seen finally what we can expect from the future Wonder Womanalready launched by Warner.

In any case, The intention of this DCU gives hope. Does this guarantee quality works for all that? Of course not. Because regardless of good intentions, Warner and DC Studios always have a lot to prove. After years of a breathless MCU and chaotic Snyreveverse, it will take much more than pretty promises. But A little optimism does not hurt.
