James Gunn CONFIRMS Blue Beetle kicks off the NEW DCU

James Gunn made the announcement on the Inside of You podcast that Michael Rosenbaum hosts, that Blue Beetle will feature the debut of the first superhero from the new DC Cinematic Universe.

“… Because, relatively, the MCU and now the DCU in film, which really doesn’t start… I mean the first DCU character, for sure, is Blue Beetle, and the first full DCU movie is 'Superman: [Legacy]'."

Gunn went on to explain his thoughts on the franchise's tone, saying: "After confirming the character's presence in both his and Peter Safran's reboot, Gunn went on to explain his thoughts on the franchise's tone."

"Now that that’s happening, it’s relatively new. The same thing with Marvel. I mean, even the MCU is relatively new. So I don’t know if there’s any innate things about tone, because I think that what both MCU and DCU need to do is to have a wider range of tones than they presently do. I think they work to do that, but I think they can do a better job of it.”
