James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision for the new DC Universe is set to break boundaries, extending beyond the silver screen and TV screens to include a rich tapestry of video games. In a recent interview, Gunn revealed that the interconnected narrative of their DC Universe will encompass not only movies and television shows but also interactive media. The duo’s approach involves using video games to fill in the gaps between major film releases, offering players the chance to explore stories and characters in depth within the same universe.
The upcoming Superman: Legacy and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movies are key components of the duo’s ambitious plan, serving as pillars for the expanded universe. Gunn and Safran have also announced a slate of other films and television shows, such as The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, and Swamp Thing, all of which will contribute to the rich tapestry of the DC Universe they are building. Additionally, while specific details about the DCU games are yet to be revealed, it’s clear that they will play a significant role in enhancing the overall narrative and world-building of this interconnected franchise.
Furthermore, Gunn and Safran’s decision to include video games in the DC Universe may signal a new trend in multimedia storytelling. With Amazon recently announcing plans for an interconnected Tomb Raider franchise spanning films, TV series, and games, it’s evident that the influence of Gunn and Safran’s approach is already being felt across the industry. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the Wonder Woman game, it’s clear that the boundaries between different forms of media are becoming increasingly blurred, offering audiences more immersive and expansive storytelling experiences than ever before.
