DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is speaking out about a recent fan campaign to sell the “Snyderverse” of unproduced DC films to Netflix. On Thursday, Gunn took to Twitter to react to the “#SellSnyderverseToNetflix” hashtag, which has hoped for DC and Warner Bros. Discovery to license out certain characters and properties to Netflix, ideally so director Zack Snyder could make his previously-planned Justice League sequels and other spinoffs, as part of his larger overall deal with the streamer. Gunn called the campaign “the wackiest hashtag ever”, confirming that Netflix has not expressed an interest in these films, but that he has spoken to the streamer about “other stuff” (presumably, the continuation of existing Netflix and DC hit The Sandman).
I have to say, this has got to be the wackiest hashtag ever since 1) Netflix hasn’t expressed any such interest (although we’ve discussed other stuff) & 2) Zack hasn’t expressed any interest & seems to be happy doing what he’s doing (and, yes, we too have talked).
He contacted me to express his support about my choices. He’s a great guy. Again, he seems really happy with the massive world building he’s doing now.
