We might see the battle for superhero supremacy hitting the top. James Gunn, the architect of DC’s revamped cinematic universe, has most probably set his sights on a powerful duo to challenge Kevin Feige’s MCU dominance. Gunn’s strategic move to tap into the visionary duo’s talents signifies a potential game-changer, as he seeks to infuse the DCU with fresh energy and innovation.
Armed with a trump card that could tip the scales, Gunn aims to bring the dynamic filmmaking duo, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, into the DCU fold. Known for their success in the animated realm withSpider-Verse, these producers have captured the imagination of audiences with their unique storytelling approach.

Last year, James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the launching of the all-new, all-different DCU. Amid DCEU’s box office struggle, ‘Superhero fatigue,’ past fumbles all led to the studio’s hard days. Fans believe that James Gunn can revive the DC Universe and make DC movies and shows more consistent, though he has the difficult task of building a heavily damaged brand back up.
At a time when Kevin Feige’s MCU is gearing up with movies likeDeadpool & Wolverine,Captain America: Brave New WorldorThe Fantastic Four, DCU is ready to compete withSuperman: Legacywhich is their first movie in the new slate, andThe Batman 2.
James Gunn recently in his Threads account replied to a fan who asked him if he wants to havePhil Lordand Chris Miller on a DCU project. Lord and Miller is best known for their work on theSpider-Versefranchise, and James Gunn once picked 2018’sSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseas his favorite superhero movie.

Phil Lord And Christopher Miller LeftThe FlashProject For This Reason
In 2015, DC Studio wantedThe LegoMovie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to pen a treatment forThe Flash. However, there were some creative differences between them and the studio.
While the duo kept quiet about their endeavor, they did admit that they had a time travel narrative in mind. It appeared to be more gastronomic than multiversal, though.
“It did involve time travel, but it was not a multiversal story. So I think it is safe to say that this is its own unique thing,” Miller toldThe Hollywood Reporter.“There are definitely some things that were in the trailers that I’ve seen that were were similar to things that are in our treatment, but I’m certain that, from what I know now of the story, it seems quite different from what we had.”
Added Lord: “A lot of our treatment was about how much food he had to consume.”
