James Gunn works from dawn to dusk to create something new DC Universe in cinema and television. Outside superman, Peacemaker And Creature CommandoThe director and co-head of DC Studios is commanding and/or overseeing a slew of yet-to-be-seen projects involving a fairly wide range of characters. However, he didn’t hesitate to point out which comic book villain still doesn’t have a place in his vision: Darkseid.
During his recent participation in an interview with the magazine New rock stars and other YouTube channels, James Gunn has spoken candidly about why he prefers to do without Darkseid as the protagonist of the saga, at least for now.
Although the director and screenwriter claimed that there were several reasons for this decision, he pointed out two of them. On the one side, because Zack Snyder already used it in his saga and it is too early to refer to it again with arguments. On the other side, because there is an undeniable resemblance to Thanos and wants to avoid any comparisons to how Marvel brought it to film.
“There are moments in which Darkseid is too similar to Thanos. They are very similar. […] Using Darkseid as Great [personaje] bad is not necessarily what we are looking for, for many reasons. Because Zach [Snyder] “He did it in his own great way, and for Thanos and Marvel,” James Gunn explained.
James Gunn has no plans to include Darkseid in the DC Universe (yet)
James Gunn’s comments regarding Darkseid’s inclusion or not are understandable. Especially considering that his new DC Universe is in the process of too nascent to already involve a villain of this caliber. Added to this is the desire to avoid logical comparisons, both internal and external.
After all, Zack Snyder used Darkseid in Justice Leaguealbeit without playing an unbalancing role in the story. In this film, a tyrant uses Steppenwolf to try to recover the Mother Boxes hidden on Earth. And although the end Snyder Cut raised the possibility that the ruler of the planet Apokolips took matters into his own hands, which was ultimately ruled out.
When it comes to Thanos, it also makes sense that James Gunn would prefer to stay away from comparisons as much as possible. Not just because the character played by Josh Brolin was the greatest enemy the Avengers had faced. endless war And Finalbut because the director himself included it in the first part Guardians of the Galaxy.
Now, just because the director doesn’t plan to include Darkseid in the DC Universe anytime soon doesn’t mean there aren’t any references to him. In the same interview, James Gunn confirmed that He already has a script for the Mister Miracle series.one of many projects planned for implementation in the coming years. The adapted version is expected to be Scott FreeDarkseid’s adopted son who escapes Apokolips and heads to Earth where he becomes a hero. It will be interesting to see how this proposal continues.
