On the December 21, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Ben Pearson to discuss the latest film and TV news, including updates on the future of the DC Film Universe.Opening Banter: In The News:(og Erin): Dwayne Johnson Says Black Adam Will Not Appear In 'First Chapter' Of The New DC UniverseWhat does this mean? Have we seen the last of The Rock as Black Adam?Could he possibly return later?Valerie: Zachary Levi Suggests There Are No Plans To Recast Shazam In The New DC Universe(og Jeremy): James Gunn Addresses The Current State Of DC, Knows It's Pretty Rough Out There Right NowWhat Gunn tweeted:One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least.Our choices for the DCU are based upon what we believe is best for the story & best for the DC characters who have been around for nearly 85 years. Perhaps these choices are great, perhaps not, but they are made with sincere hearts & integrity & always with the story in mind.No one loves to be harassed or called names – but, to be frank, we’ve been through significantly worse. Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions.We were aware there would be a period of turbulence when we took this gig, & we knew we would sometimes have to make difficult & not-so-obvious choices, especially in the wake of the fractious nature of what came before us.But this means little to us in comparison to our jobs as artists & custodians in helping to create a wide & wonderful future for DC.Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”(og Ben): The DCU Will Face Less Studio Interference Than The Snyderverse Did, According To James Gunn"The position is different than it was with Zack [Snyder], etc. Peter [Safran] & I are the heads of DC Studios. The only studio interference would be from us!"(og Devin): Plans For Elseworlds DC Projects Are 'Actively Happening' According To James GunnSomeone on twitter asked if he was open to producing any Elseworlds DC projects that aren’t set in the DCU, to which James Gunn responded “That is actively happening.”Should they be doing movies outside of the connected universe?Is he talking about Matt Reeves’ The Batman movie and The Joker sequel? Or is he talking about actual elseworlds adaptations?What DC Elseworlds story would you like to see as a live action movie?Peter would love to see Red Son or Superman: Secret Identity (not really an elseworlds story)Other possibilities: Gotham by Gaslight, Kingdom Come, The Golden AgeAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS). And please subscribe to our newsletter!Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
