Filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran are rebuilding the DC Universe and giving fans what they want. The studio co-head is teasing a world map for the comic book heroes from the DCU.
A DC fan took to Threads to ask Gunn if he had “given any thought to the lay of the land in the DCU.”
The fan wanted to know where each of the heroes lived in the universe to get a visual representation of how far or close they proximity to each other.
“We are creating an incredibly detailed world map,” Gunn replied.
Prior to that, a Guardians of the Galaxy fan asked Gunn if there was a possibility that some of the actors from the Marvel movie could guest star as themselves in the new season of Peacemaker.
The fan mentioned Chris Pratt, who played Star-Lord Peter Quill, and Pom Klementieff, who played Mantis.
“There are reasons I wouldn’t want either of those actors to play themselves in the DCU,” he said.
It is not clear what Gunn’s reasons were for not wanting the actors to play themselves in Peacemaker Season 2 or if he was hinting he has them in mind for another DC project.
Gunn enjoys interacting with fans on social media and often responds to their queries.
As the cast of "Superman: Legacy" was announced, the filmmaker clarified that they are not packing the movie with characters to attract buyers in a potential sale of DC.
"Superman: Legacy" is scheduled to be released on July 11, 2025.
The movie will tell the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
