James Gunn’s DCU will go the opposite route of the MCU

There’s a new superhero cinematic universe in town, and it is not interested in doing what Marvel Studios has done with its own, according to DCU head James Gunn. In a conversation with actor Rainn Wilson, his collaborator on the 2010 dark superhero satire Super, the writer-director explained that DC’s rebooted universe is taking a different approach. To people who say that “the DCU is doing what [the] MCU is” Gunn answers that his vision “is a lot more to me what the Game of Thrones world is like or what Star Wars is like, because we’re building a universe and then picking out little pieces of it and telling individual stories from that universe.”
