James Gunn Embraces R-Rated Films for DC Universe Expansion

DC Studios, under James Gunn, is set to include R-rated projects in its upcoming film slate, reflecting a commitment to diverse storytelling.

James Gunn confirms that DC Studios will not shy away from producing R-rated films if the story requires it.
Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran aim to build a DC Universe that prioritizes authentic storytelling over market testing.
The upcoming DCU slate includes potentially R-rated projects, with films like 'Swamp Thing' and 'The Authority' being possible candidates.
The animated series 'Creature Commandos', premiering on December 5, will have a TV-MA rating, showcasing DC's willingness to explore mature content.
Gunn's approach follows the success of previous R-rated works such as 'The Suicide Squad' and 'Peacemaker', which resonated well with audiences.
