James Gunn, the celebrated filmmaker, has dropped some significant details about the DC Universe’s forthcoming trajectory. Recently on Threads, a curious fan prodded the DC Comics head about the franchise’s canon. Gunn, now at the helm of DC Films along with Peter Safran, spilled the beans: Xolo Maridueña is confirmed to don the Blue Beetle avatar. Moreover, John Cena and Viola Davis will reprise their roles as Peacemaker and Amanda Waller, respectively. Both characters have impending HBO Max series, with a second season for Peacemaker and a standalone Waller series. Gunn’s appointment as the directorial face of DC Films has stirred questions regarding the fate of past portrayals. While the latest reveals are exciting, it’s evident that certain elements of the previous DCEU are being phased out, possibly sidelining iconic portrayals like Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman. Fans might find these characters’ shadows looming, especially with the release of movies like Superman: Legacy and The Brave and The Bold.
