The DC movies have long struggled to keep up with Marvel at the box office. In recent years, DC has spun out several different movies that seemingly exist in different universes with no storytelling relationship to one another. That ends now. In an attempt to streamline DC storytelling and compete with Marvel, Warner Bros. poached Gunn, director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies, from Disney to rebuild the DC universe alongside producer Peter Safran. Slowly, rumors have trickled out about the future of the DC movies. Recently, Gunn and Safran finally announced the initial steps for their 10-year plan for what they are calling the DCU at a press conference and in social media posts. They are using The Flash movie, due on June 16, to reset the timeline in the DCU and essentially wipe the slate clean. But on to plans for the new DCU: Five new movies and five TV shows are in development. Some focus on famous characters like Superman and Green Lantern. Others are plucking more obscure IP like Creature Commandos and Booster Gold. They have dubbed this first chapter of the new DCU “Gods and Monsters.” Here’s what’s on the docket for the DCU.
