James Gunn has confirmed that the upcoming The Flash movie will reset and reboot the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) into the DCU (DC Universe).

During a press conference, DC Studios co-presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran explained how the rest of the upcoming four DCEU movies, Shazam Fury Of The Gods (17 March 2023), The Flash (16 June 2023), Blue Beetle (18 August 2023), and Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom (25 December 2023) will lead into the new DCU.

Gunn said (via Collider):

“So, how can we take these things together and make them make sense and have them unified and have it one real universe?…I think that we’ve gotten lucky with the next four movies, frankly, because we have Shazam, which leads into Flash, which resets everything which then goes into Blue Beetle, which is totally disconnected…

But the one thing that we can promise is that everything from…our first project forward, will be canon, and will be connected. We’re using some actors from the past, we’re not using other actors from the past. But everything from that moment forward will be connected and consistent.”

So, there you have it, folks. We’re probably getting something like Flashpoint from the comics in the upcoming movie. For more details and information on the DCU’s new Chapter 1 Gods And Monsters slate, head on over here.
