Time is running against DC Movies. The producer, who has reaped a lot of setbacks in recent years, needs to get back on track as soon as possible. For this reason, Warner Bros. Discovery chose James Gunn and Peter Safran lead the house of comics in terms of film and series production. Well, we are close to finding out what the first steps of your strategy will be.
According to James Gunn himself, who was very active in his twitter account problem solving fandom, this month he will reveal some of his plans for DC’s immediate future.. The idea, in essence, is to present some of the projects that will see the light of day during next 10 years.
Even before James Gunn took over DC, Warner had already decided on a plan for the next decade. This is after analyzing the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and determining that directors Kevin Feige strategize every 10 years. At least in this sense, then following in Marvel’s footsteps.
Revealing what feature films and series they’ll release in the next decade is a plan that’s worked out great for Marvel. Not only internally, to make it easier for the films to point to the same narrative flow, but also to make the audience aware of what’s to come. Of course, always saving unexpected announcements for special occasions.
James Gunn has already made several key decisions in DC.
However, in the specific case of DC, we already know some of the decisions that will determine the future of its Expanded Universe. First of all, Henry Cavill will no longer play Superman. Although his return in the new film was announced, the arrival of James Gunn to the leadership of DC completely changed the plans. The actor would not reprise his role and consequently his next feature as Man of Steel was dropped.
The above doesn’t mean that Superman doesn’t matter to James Gunn. The creator has already given the go-ahead for the new film, but with an updated cast. Moreover, this production talks about Clark Kent’s first steps as a superhero. Of course, without delving into the history of origin already known to everyone. So, they are in the process of finding a young actor for such an important role.
Another major decision by James Gunn involves Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman 3starring Gal Gadot, was canceled. The descriptive proposal presented by its director, Patty Jenkins, fell short of the vision that James Gunn and Peter Safran intended to realize.
Be careful, it’s not clear at this point if Gal Gadot will have another opportunity to play Wonder Woman. It is possible that the script Wonder Woman 3 to be rewritten by other people and eventually approved, at best…
So it’s a matter of a few days to get to know some of the new films that are part of DC restructuring. Undoubtedly, the production company faces a unique opportunity to straighten the path and finally treat their characters the way they truly deserve.
