James Gunn's Vision for a Unified DC Universe: Actors to Reprise Roles Across Films and Games

When James Gunn took the helm at DC, his mission was to reboot the universe to achieve greater cohesion and popularity. Part of his ambitious plan involves a seamless integration of characters across different media, ensuring that audiences will see the same actors in both movies and video games.

One aspect of this vision is the avoidance of repetitive origin stories by catapulting audiences directly into a universe where superheroes already exist. Recognizing familiar faces in various formats, such as movies and games, would be a key feature of this endeavor. Therefore, the actors portraying the movie heroes are expected to reprise their roles in forthcoming video games as well.

Despite these plans, there haven't been any new DC games in the revamped universe so far. Given the passage of time, a curious user posed a question to James Gunn on Threads, inquiring about the status of these games and whether the plans included "My Adventures with Superman." As he has done frequently in the past, Gunn clarified that the strategy remains intact but pertains solely to projects within the DCU, excluding the mentioned Superman series.

Should a Superman game emerge in the near future, it is anticipated that David Corenswet will assume the role of Jor-El's son, mirroring his performance in the upcoming movie slated for a June 2025 release.
