Despite all the obstacles, the problematic histriones and the little narrative cohesion of its cinematographic universe, in the mecca of cinema there is no one more optimistic than DC. As new reports suggest the studio finds itself with one foot on the starting line, even if its creative chief is about to walk out the back door. At the studio, James Gunn is already secretly meeting with others to conceive a mysterious project; Matt Reeves is planning a large-scale expansion of his Batman universe, and the script for Batman is ready somewhere. Flash 2.
Information comes directly from TheHollywood Reporter, who assure that Walter Hamada is already packing his bags. Whoever was the creative boss behind the DC cinematic universe is already in the process of leaving. Supposedly, he will do it quietly and without much fanfare. However, DC’s plans are still standing and perhaps the most surprising of them is the sequel to Flash that already has enough ground gained with a script ready.
According to the medium, a script for Flash 2 it has already left the draft stage and approval has been found. It was written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who was also the co-writer on Aquaman Y Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom. However, it is also made clear that this potential sequel will only happen depending on the impact of the first film, which is still far from reaching the screen.
The most worrying thing about all this is that many say that even the premiere of the first film dwindles with each passing day. Since the actor Ezra Miller seems to jump as fast as the sprinter from one scandal to another. That prevents the tape from being sold with total confidence before an audience willing to cancel its stars.
James Gunn returns to DC
On the other hand, it is reported that James Gunn is already immersed in a new project, or perhaps more for DC. This new production is unrelated to the second season of peacemaker, which is also already under development. Producer Peter Safran is also immersed in said mysterious film and reports assure that the talks are heading to a good conclusion.
Gunn entered DC when he directed Suicide Squad and paved the way for such a franchise. Later, he focused on the character played by John Cena and developed a solo television series for him. Both productions were successful enough to bring the director back.
Matt Reeves’ Gotham and other DC projects
Meanwhile, Matt Reeves has no intention of stopping at expanding his vision of the Dark Knight universe. Along with the sequel to batman and the series centered on The Penguin with Colin Farrell, the filmmaker is meeting with writers and directors to develop films centered on other characters from Gotham City’s rich gallery of villains. According to THRProjects ranging from Scarecrow to Clayface to Professor Pyg are in the early stages of gestation.
In addition, it is said that the sights of the top managers are set on Superman. We previously reported that a sequel to man of steel is at the gates with Henry Cavill. The actor, by the way, is also back as a special appearance in Black Adam, which shows that ultimately Dwayne Johnson’s film will surely be the turning point and push for the new direction of DC. Finally, sources reveal that they expect to receive the script for Wonder Woman 3by Patty Jenkins.
Of course, none of these projects has tentative release dates. Except Black Adam which will hit theaters in a couple of days (October 20), and Flash that it remains unscathed by the storm and agrees to its date for June 2023. Do you like the new direction that DC wants to take?
