James Gunn: Less Than Half of DCU Chapter 1 Has Been Announced

Thanks to Twitter, James Gunn revealed more details about the DCU and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, including that we don't know the full DCU Chapter 1 lineup.

Many of the questions Gunn was asked were responses to a photo of the antagonist from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Iwuji. The tweet's caption says the director can't wait for fans to meet the character in the film.

A user asked how much of the DCU Chapter One slate has been announced. Gunn revealed that less than half of the slate has been revealed, which means a number of DC projects that will be part of Chapter 1 have still not been shown.

Another fan was discussing the idea of ​​Matthew Lillard, who Gunn worked with on Scooby-Doo in 2002, being in the DCU. When the fan said he would like to see Lillard play the DC hero Plastic Man, Gunn responded and revealed that he and Lillard actually spoke with the head of Warner Bros. - Lorenzo di Bonaventura - to make a Plastic Man film at that time.

Finally, Gunn clarified that the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been released and that only commercials and similar small videos should be released before the sequel premieres.

The first phase of the DC Universe, called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, will include a host of different movies and TV shows. Some of the announced projects include a Batman and Robin-centric movie titled The Brave and the Bold, a Supergirl movie titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing movie, and several TV shows.
