James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe is off to a flyer with Superman, but whose story is the DCU really? In a new interview, Gunn of course wouldn’t say, but did tease they’re a character no-one would expect.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Gunn jokingly acknowledged the DCU isn’t Krypto the Superdog’s story, despite his star turn in Superman. Then, he added: “I think… I do know whose story it is. And it probably isn’t anyone anyone would ever expect.”
ScreenRant asked if this mystery character is someone we’ve seen already in the DCU, and Gunn confirmed it is.
As Gunn has indicated in prior interviews, he’s building towards a big event. But this, too, sounds like it will take fans by surprise.
“And it’s not what anyone thinks,” he continued. “It’s not what anyone would guess. But I think that if people watch the next season of Peacemaker, they’ll see where a lot of these things are going, and have a little bit more of a sense of maybe what can happen.”
Peacemaker Season 2, which sees John Cena reprise the title role, launches on HBO Max in August. In May, Gunn teased what sounded like a significant cameo that appears near the end of the season — but stopped short of saying whether it’s a character we’ve seen in Superman or another character from the wider, rebooted DCU. Is this the character Gunn is now referring to?
Warning! Spoilers for Superman follow:
It’s also worth noting that Supergirl appears in cameo form at the end of Superman. Could Gunn be referring to Kara Zor-El, played by Milly Alcock? Is the DCU her story?
Given Gunn’s cryptic comments about the character in question being a total surprise, perhaps Supergirl is too obvious a pick. But we know it’s someone we’ve seen on-screen already. Hal Jordan? Mister Terrific? Lois Lane? Jimmy Olsen?!
Or could it be Maxwell Lord? Lex Luthor? Hawkgirl? Surely it’s not Peacemaker himself. Could it be Batman? We have, technically, seen Batman in the DCU via a brief scene in animated series Creature Commandos.
Let us know who you think it is in the comments below.
In the U.S., Superman got the DCU off to a flyer with a global weekend take of $217 million at the box office. Its $122 million domestic haul was enough to make it the biggest North American launch ever for a solo Superman film, not adjusted for inflation.

Создание дизайна на футболках позволяет подчеркнуть вашу уникальность. Технологии печати открывают широкие горизонты для дизайнеров и любителей моды.
Среди самых распространенных технологий печати можно выделить несколько основных. Трафаретный метод отличается высоким качеством и устойчивостью к выцветанию. Еще одним интересным методом является цифровая печать, позволяющая создавать сложные и детализированные изображения.
Принимая решение о методе печати, стоит обратить внимание на материал, из которого изготовлена футболка. Разные материалы могут по-разному реагировать на различные методы печати.
Объем заказа также влияет на выбор метода печати и его стоимость. Если вам нужно напечатать много футболок, лучше выбрать трафаретный метод, а цифровая печать больше подходит для небольших тиражей.
