James Gunn Gives A Definitive Answer To The DC Universe’s Biggest Question

So, there you have it. Though «The Flash» was set to be the bridge between the DCEU and the DCU, it looks like viewers who have skipped the last few DCEU efforts can rest easy; they’ll easily be able to understand what’s going on with James Gunn’s DCU simply by watching «Creature Commandos» and «Superman: Legacy.» Still, Gunn also confirmed that some characters would be returning, though he was cagey on whether their past events from the DCEU will be considered canon in the future.

«And, yes, some actors will be playing characters they’ve played in other stories & some plot points might be consistent with plot points from the dozens of films, shows & animated projects that have come from DC in the past,» Gunn said. «But nothing is canon until CC and Legacy.»

Though Gunn was vague about who might be returning, the most likely candidates are those from «The Suicide Squad» and «Peacemaker.» That’s because both are previous Gunn efforts, and the writer-director tends to bring back actors and characters from his previous projects. With that in mind, fans can safely expect the likes of Peacemaker (John Cena), Weasel (Sean Gunn), John Economos (Steve Agee), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), and Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to be the most likely to return.
