7 Ways James Gunn"s DC Universe Is Reviving Old DCEU Plans

The James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Universe will revitalize the superhero franchise, reviving several plans from the old DC Extended Universe in the process. The DCEU began with 2013’s Man of Steel, and while there have been notable DCEU successes, such as 2017’s Wonder Woman and 2018’s Aquaman, the franchise, unfortunately, struggled to match the astounding critical and commercial performance of its rival franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The DCEU has had numerous unrealized projects that will, to varying degrees, see the light of day in Gunn and Safran’s DCU, albeit adjusted to fit the new franchise’s timeline.
Following the events of the upcoming The Flash, the DC movie timeline will be reintroduced, with its first wave of properties “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters,” beginning after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. As revealed by Gunn and Safran in their slate announcement, the new DC Universe will not be a complete reboot of the old DC Extended Universe. Superman and Batman’s respective corners of the DCU will be brand new, with new actors taking over the roles of Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne, but other characters will remain largely unchanged from the old DCEU. Moreover, planned elements of the DCEU will be re-imagined and integrated into the new DCU.
