DC fan or not, you’ve likely heard that James Gunn — director of several hit-or-miss DCEU flicks — is taking over. After winning over David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, James Gunn and Peter Safran were appointed as co-CEOs of the DCEU, which was subsequently renamed to the DCU (probably to compete with Marvel’s MCU). Now that we know Gunn is making an origin story for a young Superman in Metropolis, as well as canceling countless other projects (we’re looking at you, The Flash and Wonder Woman) and preparing to replace several beloved DC stars, there isn’t much hope for DC’s future.
Don’t fret, however, since Gunn reassures us that while he’s wiping the slate clean and denouncing almost every single other project, he’s at least keeping Blue Beetle afloat (sense the sarcasm). The Blue Beetle movie, starring Xolo Maridueña in the leading role, received an August 2023 release date. According to Gunn, that project is still very much underway and on schedule, even though DC fans would much rather see Wonder Woman 3 or Man of Steel 2 — but we won’t get into that.
