With Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’s release date approaching, we are coming to the end of the current DC cinematic universe. The newly rebooted franchise, under James Gunn and Peter Safran, won’t see its first big screen outing until the Superman: Legacy release date in 2025, meaning we’ll see almost none of the upcoming DC movies for a year and a half. It’s a pretty long stretch compared to similar franchises, but James Gunn doesn’t mind, and he even thinks the hiatus will be a good thing.
A fan asked James Gunn on Threads if he thought the “lack of content” over the next 18 months would damage DC as a brand, but Gunn responded that he did not. In fact, considering that DC is resetting everything, the time off will actually be good.
