James Gunn has clarified his vision for the DC Universe, describing Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as the franchise's 'diamond characters' while aiming to elevate lesser-known figures like Krypto, John Stewart and Peacemaker to similar status. The DC Studios co-chief, alongside Peter Safran, outlined an eight-to-10-year plan that includes not only story arcs but also character development, filmmaker freedom and varied tones and ratings. Gunn emphasized that some projects, like Clayface, will be standalone films, while others will contribute to a larger narrative known as the Superman Saga, with each installment designed to work independently.
Gunn compared the approach to Star Wars, arguing that individual stories can be meaningful without leading to a crossover. His next film, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, is set for release on 9 July 2027 and will expand on the Superman storyline, incorporating characters introduced in other projects. He stressed that those stories exist for their own merit, not solely to set up future films.
