James Gunn AND Peter Safran Two years in their roles as Co-Ceos of DC Studios, and are in the middle of developing their ambitious plan for a DC interconnected cinema universe. Nicknamed “Gods & Monsters”, their travel table aims to unify the film and TV under a single creative vision.
Gunn and Safran have recently hosted a press conference in Warner Bros. to outline what is in advance. Their long-term plan is to deliver two live-action films and an animated function per year, together with two live-action series and two animated series for Max.
However, for 2025, only a series is confirmedPacifier Season 2, previewed in August.
Safran said: “We unified the brand, Greenlit five theatrical films, made three series of live-action and produced five animated series. We also acquired and distributed a Bafta and PGA documentary. “
He added: “The DC brand was defined by several creative teams of the company and everyone was pursuing their distinct vision of the characters, stories and left very little space to collaborate or crossover, so it was not a DCU, but many.
“In the end this fracture proved to be very demanding for consumers and chipped the identity of our brand. Therefore, this is part that led us to DC studies, bringing a sense of unity, cohesion, consistency in this universe, not only makes sense for us as narrators, but must be the future of the DC brand. People want to see these iconic characters interact, they want to experience this timeless IP like one. “
