Overview

• In a new Interview Magazine conversation, Gunn says the DCU is modeled more like Game of Thrones or Star Wars, building a coherent world and telling discrete stories drawn from it.
• He defines three competing forces shaping the DCU—Metahumans, governments, and corporations—citing LuthorCorp, Lord Tech, Stagg Industries, and Wayne Enterprises as key players.
• Corporations are described as amoral rather than inherently villainous, with Gunn noting that outcomes hinge on leadership, including Lex Luthor’s influence over LuthorCorp.
• Gunn details a distinct DCU map without real‑world cities and a history where metahumans have existed for roughly 300 years, setting a consistent backdrop across projects.
• Early releases are presented as proof of concept with strong Rotten Tomatoes scores for Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker Season 2, as Gunn advances a restrained slate and a worked‑out treatment for the next Superman entry.
