Previously, James Gunn stated that the only two people who knew all of the DCU secrets were himself and co-Ceo Peter Safran. Not even former WB CEO David Zaslav knew all the ins and outs.
However, it seems that the insider count has now increased from two to three.
While walking the red carpet for the premiere of Clayface, James Gunn was asked how his first sit-down with his new boss, Skydance Chairman and CEO David Ellison, went.
"Oh yeah, David knows everything," James Gunn stated. He went on to add, "We told David, long ago. We went through everything that we had..well, we didn't go through everything we had planned but we went through what the basic plan was. And then when we sat down with him, when he first brought us in, and he said he wanted us to continue with what we're doing, we told him- all he wanted to talk about was what was happening, what were the secrets, where was the DCU going, what was going to happen from Man of Tomorrow on. "
Up next for the DCU is Man of Tomorrow, where David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult's Superman and Lex Luthor are going to be forced to team up to stop Lars Eidinger's Brainiac in the July 9, 2027 pic.
Recently, Gunn revealed that he's already writing his next DC Studios feature film while simultaneously editing his Superman follow-up that he distinctly says is not a sequel.
Other superheroes appearing in the film include:
- Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific
- Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern
- Aaron Pierre as John Stewart/Green Lantern
- Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl
- María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer
- Milly Alcock's Supergirl
- Xolo Maridueña as Blue Beetle
- Adria Arjona as Maxima or Wonder Woman
- Sinqua Walls as Martian Manhunter (rumored)
- Matthew Lillard as King Faraday (rumored)

• Untitled Bane & Deathstroke Project (Savage Hunters)
