Arrowverse co-creator Marc Guggenheim isn’t happy about the new DC universe without DC Studios’ James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Arrowverse co-creator Marc Guggenheim is upset about not being part of the new DC Universe. With few remains in the DCEU, a new DC Universe is on the way for James Gunn and Peter Safran. After DC Studios launched in November 2022, Gunn and Safran launched the first half of Chapter 1, “Gods and Monsters” in January of this year. With several movies and TV shows in the works, DC Studios is trying to create a more cohesive universe. Writers for the new series have been hired and will help Gunn and Safran build the DC Universe over the next 8-10 years.
However, one of The CW’s Arrowverse creators recently commented on the rise of a new DC universe. arrow And the legend of tomorrow Co-creator Guggenheim was really disappointed that he didn’t have a meeting with DC Studios. Guggenheim is also a huge creative force behind the annual crossover event, especially Crisis on endless earth. While Guggenheim is not asking for the job, the Arrowverse EP is hoping to at least consider talking to Gunn and Safran. At the time of publication, Gunn, Safran, or other representatives of DC Studios were not available for comment.
Why am I saying this now? Well, this week, James Gunn announced that he’s formed a “writers’ room” to help map out what the new “DC Universe” will look like under his and James Safran’s leadership. Suffice it to say, I’m not in that group. I’m not particularly surprised. In fact, I assumed they would set up some sort of advisory organization to help support my hypothesis— expect — it would be a vision as ambitious as the DC universe. But let’s be honest: I wish there was at least one meeting. Note that this is not a job. meeting. a conversation. A small acknowledgment of what I have tried to contribute to this magnificent tapestry of the DC Universe. After all, I only worked hard in that vineyard for nine years. (excluding co-authors over the years green lantern movie one green lantern Stream series and manga like The Flash, Batman’s Secret, Superman AdventuresAnd American Judicial Association.)
And then there are other things that basically make me lament that while working for DC is creatively satisfying, it involves a lot of adversity, challenge, and personal sacrifice – it seems. as none of that leads to any career gain. In short, Arrowverse hasn’t delivered any other performances, so I feel – at least on a professional level – that I’m really wasting my time.
