James Gunn Confirms Plans for DC Elseworlds Movies

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn hinted that Warner Bros. Discovery could give the green light to an Elseworlds movie within the DC Universe.

The DCU is about to undergo a major overhaul under Gunn's watch as he and his partner, Peter Safran, develop a brand-new story centered on DC's biggest heroes and villains. More will be revealed about the movies that will make up that new slate in the coming weeks, although the new DCU isn't the only story that will move forward under the new DC banner in the next few years.

Outside of the former DC Extended Universe and the new upcoming slate, DC is already building a cache of Elseworlds movies such as Todd Phillips' Joker franchise and Matt Reeves' The Batman stories, both of whose stories take place outside of the core are out of the core continuity.
