James Gunn comments on the possibility of a big-screen crossover between the MCU and the DC Universe happening now that he is co-CEO of DC Studios.
James Gunn speaks on the possibility of a Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Universe crossover now that he is at DC Studios. Gunn is the new creative mind for DC, becoming one of the comic book giant's top two executives as co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. The new DC Universe has started making waves with a novel vision for rebooting the film franchise.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking with Empire Magazine, Gunn revealed that there is a real possibility that DC and Marvel have a crossover now that he is in charge of DC Studios. While the audacious crossover seems possible now, Gunn is quick to point out that any projects between the two companies are still "many years away," as Gunn's DC Universe needs to first take shape on its own.
"I’m certain that’s more likely now that I’m in charge [at DC]. Who knows? That’s many years away, though, I think we have to establish what we’re doing [at DC] first. I would be lying to say that we haven’t discussed it. But all discussions have been very, very light and fun.”How A Marvel & DC Crossover Could Happen Gunn confirming that discussions about a possible Marvel and DC crossover, however small, have taken place is significant.
Based on Gunn's comments and his new DC position, it seems like a Marvel and DC crossover is just a matter of time. But first, as Gunn mentioned, DC needs to focus on itself. The old DCEU and its many controversies need to stay in the past, and Gunn is actively addressing complaints about DC's past management.
After the new DC Universe gets established, with 2025's Superman: Legacy reboot movie being written and directed by Gunn and properly starting the new universe, the door will be open for planning on how to have Marvel and DC crossover. Obviously, whatever way the companies decide to do it, the multiverse will be there. As the MCU is deep underway in its Multiverse Saga, DC will soon start playing with the multiverse with this June's The Flash.
