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.
- DC Studios creative head James Gunn has stated that the DCU officially begins with the 2024 release of Creature Commandos,[2] but that 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]
- Gunn has confirmed that the second season of Peacemaker will address the continuity changes from the DCEU to the DCU, but was vague on the details of how.[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 Weasel, Steve Agee as John Economos, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jr.[7]
- Previously, Gunn had stated that the DCEU's continuity reset at the end of The Flash would give birth to the DCU,[8] making it a kind of soft reboot,[9][10] but that was not the case.
- 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.[11]
Trivia
- It is unclear which multiverse the DCU exists in, but given its similarities to events on Earth-1 of the Arrowverse, it could be in the Arrowverse as well.
