New faces in the DCEU and what the future beholds
Ever since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, there has been a major shuffling of plans. Films like Wonder Woman 3 have been cancelled, while actors like Henry Cavil and Dwayne Johnson have confirmed that they won’t be reprising their roles in the near future.
However, Gunn also said, “As for more answers about the future of the DCU, I will sadly have to ask you to wait. We are giving these characters & the stories the time & attention they deserve & we ourselves still have a lot more questions to ask & answer.”
