Wow, after that crazy Peacemaker Season 2 finale, James Gunn’s been talking about just how tough it was to build this new DC Universe. It sounds like a real puzzle putting everything together!
What did James Gunn say about the DCU following the Peacemaker Season 2 finale?
At the end of Peacemaker Season 2, Chris is taken by Rick Flag Sr. and sent to Salvation, a planet used as a prison for people with superpowers. James Gunn recently announced (according to Variety) that we’ll see more of Salvation in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow.
James Gunn explained that viewers don’t need prior knowledge of ‘Salvation’ to enjoy ‘Man of Tomorrow.’ The film will reveal everything you need to understand about what’s happening with metahumans.
James Gunn knows it’s challenging to create a fresh story that also fits within a larger movie universe. The first *Guardians of the Galaxy* felt somewhat independent from the rest of Marvel’s films, but it still needed to connect to the overall MCU storyline.
James Gunn encounters similar difficulties with storytelling in the DC Universe, but now he’s in charge of building the entire cinematic world.
James Gunn explained that building the DC Universe requires a careful approach to storytelling. It’s a challenge to create stories that are engaging for both longtime fans and newcomers. You want to avoid boring those who already know the characters and lore, but also avoid overwhelming new audiences with too much complicated information. The storytelling needs to be graceful and focus on emotional connection, rather than just listing powers or origins. For example, explaining a magical object’s function isn’t as impactful as simply describing a relatable situation, like a prison in another dimension, in a concise way.
Now that Peacemaker season two has finished, James Gunn’s next film as writer and director, Man of Tomorrow, is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 9, 2027.
