James Gunn ensures that the project The brave and the bold is still ongoing, suggesting that the first Superman teaser is just around the corner

Among the many unknowns surrounding the future of the DC Universe (DCU), there is one particularly strong: what will the reboot that James Gunn and Peter Safran are preparing be like? While much of the DCEU’s legacy seems to be a thing of the past, works in which Gunn was directly involved, such as The suicide squad Yes Peacemakerthey seem to remain the bridge to the new era.

The fate of The Brave and the Bold

Despite the doubts generated by the lukewarm reception of the The FlashGunn reiterates this The brave and the boldthe film that will introduce the new Batman of the DCU is still in development. In an interview with OmeletteGunn confirmed it “We’re moving forward with The Brave and the Bold; it’s happening right now. Also, Matt [Reeves] He’s writing The Batman 2, and that’s in the works too.”

This statement clarifies the rumors about the possible integration of the franchise The Batmanwith Robert Pattinson, in the DCU. Gunn makes it clear that Pattinson’s Batman will not be part of the new Justice League, keeping both story lines separate.

However, the announcement of Andy Muschietti as director of The brave and the bold remains a controversial topic among fans. Although Muschietti managed to generate nostalgia with the return of Michael Keaton as Batman The FlashThe film’s overall performance made many wonder if he was the best candidate to handle such a crucial film.

When will we see the first look at the new Superman?

Another of the big questions fans have is when they will be able to enjoy the first trailer for Superman: Legacythe film that will mark the official start of the DCU. Gunn, with his characteristic sense of humor, implied as much “It won’t take long” for the first preview release.

This film, written and directed by Gunn, will be crucial in establishing the tone and direction of the new universe. While Commando of creaturesthe upcoming animated series will give a first look at this world, its R-rated style and its connection to the irreverent tone of The suicide squad They position it more as an independent project.

Creature Commandos: from series to film?

In a conversation with ColliderGunn talked about it Commando of creaturesthe animated series, which will be part of the DCU, could expand into a cinematic format in the future. According to Gunn, the quality of the work the creative team has done so far has been exceptional:
“I would love to have the same people involved in a Creature Commandos film. It’s rare to find a team that offers something intrinsically good right from the start.”

While Gunn hasn’t confirmed anything, his words suggest that this spin-off may be a bigger part of the DCU than it initially seemed.

Expectations on James Gunn’s vision for the DCU

With each new detail, anticipation grows for the Superman project and the rest of the DCU. Gunn has proven himself to be a bold and versatile storyteller, but this reboot represents one of the biggest challenges of his career. While The brave and the bold is emerging as the opportunity to redefine the Dark Knight, it will be there Superman: Legacy where we see for the first time how Gunn reinvents the essence of DC’s most iconic superheroes.

For now, fans will have to patiently wait for both the trailer for Superman to find out who the new Batman of the DCU will be. What’s clear is that DC’s future is full of ambition, with a mix of nostalgia, reinvention and calculated risks.
