As a seasoned gamer and long-time follower of the DCEU saga, I can’t help but feel like I’ve just been caught in a game of cosmic chess between James Gunn and the DC Universe itself. The latest revelations about what constitutes canon have left me more bewildered than a lost adventurer in the Labyrinth of Theros.
Have you been following the discussions on the chronology of the Creature Commandos and Peacemaker Season 2 compared to Superman, specifically concerning Frank Grillo’s appearance and the timelines for these projects? Yes, I’m referring to the debates we covered a few days back, where James Gunn’s comments seemed to clarify some points.
Sure thing! Here’s one way to rephrase that sentence: After Gunn clarified some points about Threads, fans felt reassured, but then he added more comments that made things confusing again. Now we’re left wondering which parts of the DCEU are true and which aren’t.
The problem stemmed from an extensive conversation Gunn had with Collider, where he delved into various key points regarding his upcoming universe and clarified the canonical standing of certain past works – essentially explaining how all these stories would coalesce into a single, unified narrative. Care to find out what he revealed? Carry on reading!
In a recent conversation with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, filmmaker James Gunn discussed upcoming projects, potential continuity problems, and the future of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and its related projects. During this interview, they addressed the canon of the DCEU, and here’s what Gunn had to share on the topic:
Many individuals are curious about what’s considered canon in the latest DC Universe. From my understanding, The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker seem to be part of it. Could this be correct? I’d be happy to provide more insight on this topic!
Sure thing! GUNN: Essentially, anything we discuss is valid. [Laughs] Let me clarify, the first season of “Peacemaker” can be considered as established fact, except for the appearance of the Justice League at the end, which you’ll learn more about in “Peacemaker” Season 2. As for “Suicide Squad”, it has a bit more flexibility.
It’s clear that Rick Flag Sr.’s anger stems from his son being killed by Peacemaker, an incident we can imagine based on information available to us. However, it’s important to note that this event is considered canonical not solely because it was hinted at in the Suicide Squad series, but rather, because it was explicitly mentioned in Creature Commandos, which may or may not be part of the same continuity as Suicide Squad. In essence, we should view the portrayal of events in Suicide Squad and Peacemaker with some degree of skepticism when interpreting the broader DC Universe narrative.
James, it seems you had previously written Creature Commandos as a spec script, unaware that you would later become the co-head of DC.
In a more relaxed phrasing: I didn’t write a spec script in the traditional sense. Instead, I had a conversation with Peter Girardi from Warner Bros. Animation who suggested I try animation. When asked what I wanted to work on, I expressed my interest in Creature Commandos. Consequently, I wrote the episodes for the series, so it was more like a personal project or pitch, rather than a traditional spec script.
After becoming the co-head of DC, when you understood your long-term plan for approximately eight to ten years, did the scripts change at all due to this new understanding and the events that were anticipated to occur?
At the very least, not excessively. For me, the charm of DC lies significantly in the creation of the universe, rather than merely constructing a tale. I don’t view the DCU as a continuous narrative spanning numerous films and TV shows that revolves around a single major antagonist. As a viewer, I prefer not to be obligated to watch everything.
In essence, the DCU (DC Universe) represents a unified world, but its variations are influenced by the creative minds of the artists, directors, and production designers who bring the stories to life in their respective productions.

Currently, although Gunn’s remarks provide some clarity, they also add complexity to the existing storyline since the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) narrative is now even murkier. However, once the DCEU gets off the ground, we’ll undoubtedly receive more details, so hang in there with us until then!
