Notes
- Different waves of projects in the DC Universe are advertised as "chapters".
- The DC Universe is intended as a replacement for the DC Extended Universe.
- While the DCU officially begins with the 2024 release of Creature Commandos,[2] a "rough memory" of the DCEU films The Suicide Squad and Blue Beetle, and the first season of Peacemaker took place within its canon.[3][4][5][6] Specifically, any details from those projects referenced in the DCU are canon to this universe.[7]
- DC Studios creative head James Gunn has confirmed that the second season of Peacemaker will further address the continuity changes from the DCEU to the DCU.[1]
- So far, six actors from the DCEU are reported to be reprising their characters in the DCU: John Cena as Peacemaker, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Xolo Maridueña as Blue Beetle, Sean Gunn as the Weasel, Steve Agee as John Economos, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jr.[8]
- Previously, Gunn had stated that the DCEU's continuity reset at the end of The Flash would give birth to the DCU,[9] making it a soft reboot.[10][11]
- Gunn and DC Studios business head Peter Safran have stated they plan to release two films and two TV series in the DCU per year.[12]
