James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, has made a bold statement that emphasizes the importance of having a finished script before greenlighting a film or casting actors in the DC Universe (DCU). In a recent post on Threads, Gunn declared, “We won’t green light a film until we have a finished script we’re happy with and in general, we won’t cast a film until the script is finished.” This approach underscores Gunn’s commitment to prioritizing quality over speed in the rapidly evolving DCU.
Gunn’s statement sheds light on the varying pace of development for different DCU projects. Some projects may move faster than anticipated, while others progress more slowly, all contingent upon the readiness of the scripts. This deliberate approach ensures that each film in the DCU receives the careful attention and craftsmanship it deserves, rather than rushing through the process. By putting the script first, Gunn aims to lay a solid foundation for the entire cinematic universe, ensuring coherence, depth, and quality storytelling.
Gunn’s commitment to “quality first, no matter what” resonates strongly with fans who have long craved a cohesive and well-crafted DC cinematic experience. His emphasis on having a finished script that meets the team’s standards before moving forward demonstrates a respect for the source material and a desire to deliver truly exceptional films. As the DCU continues to take shape under Gunn’s leadership, fans can anticipate a renewed focus on storytelling, character development, and an overall elevated cinematic experience that stays true to the essence of DC Comics.
