by

As a seasoned comic book fan with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the DCU’s future is brighter than ever before, thanks to the dynamic duo of James Gunn and Peter Safran. The anticipation is palpable as we eagerly await the unfolding of these upcoming projects.

In earlier times, the DCEU was formed as a response to the MCU, but it didn’t meet expectations. There were some solid standalone performances, but Zack Snyder couldn’t effectively tie everything together into a coherent narrative. Coupled with a series of missteps, the DCEU ultimately fell short, as many had predicted. However, the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran brought change.

The duo is at present developing something akin to the DC Universe, intended to serve as a viable rival to the MCU in the forthcoming years. Although the specifics of what lies ahead for them remain uncertain, it’s undeniable that multiple projects are in the pipeline.

In this article, we will unveil intriguing, if not groundbreaking news regarding several forthcoming projects. Fans can hardly contain their anticipation and eagerness, so buckle up!

In a recent conversation with Josh Horowitz, filmmaker James Gunn disclosed intriguing details about some of his forthcoming DC Universe (DCU) projects. Horowitz posed significant questions regarding the DCU, which happens to be the primary focus of Gunn’s career at present. Among the revelations made was this:

James Gunn shares that the scripts for ‘BRAVE AND THE BOLD’, ‘BOOSTER GOLD’, and ‘WALLER’ are still not fully up to his desired standard.

And if you don’t believe us, here is what Gunn said:

In this movie, the filmmaker has expressed thoughts about three significant upcoming productions – two movies and a TV series. Before we delve into specifics, it’s worth noting that Gunn emphasized his passion for creating compelling stories. Essentially, there will be numerous opportunities coming his way, some with stronger scripts, others not as strong. However, he made it clear that he wants to preserve the essence of his projects and ensure they resonate emotionally with him.

Therefore, he clarifies, no initiative can proceed unless the screenplay or teleplay is exceptional, regardless of its initial concept. This could potentially lead to some postponements, but it should also lead to outstanding projects that will undoubtedly engage viewers’ emotions. Now, let us delve into the projects under consideration.

Among all, Booster Gold stands out as the key focus of our conversation, given Horowitz’s curiosity about this particular movie. Although we are yet to confirm if Kumail Nanjiani will embody the main character in the film, it’s clear that production is underway. The screenplay is currently being crafted, and as Gunn mentioned, they are not quite ready with it just yet. Some developments are taking place, but it appears they are still finalizing a compelling script that, once approved, will officially move forward with the project.

Similarly to the forthcoming Waller series, featuring Viola Davis’ legendary character, is currently in development but lacks a completed script. Therefore, Gunn is holding off on giving it the go-ahead. As for The Brave and the Bold, which poses the greatest challenge among the three projects, its status mirrors that of the other two, so stay tuned for updates!
