:0:0

As the DC Universe is about to start, the franchise"s creative chief, James Gunn, has commented on what could be up for the universe in the future when it comes to recasting. The subject of recasting has become a growing issue in superhero adaptations, as the MCU is dealing with it after the Infinity Saga ended, and DC has had to let go of actors from the DCEU"s movies, like Henry Cavill as Superman, as the new DCU starts. While the franchise will begin this week with Creature Commandos, Gunn already has ideas for the future of the DCU.
On Threads, James Gunn addressed what the DCU"s plans for recasting actors could be like.

A fan asked the director whether the DCU would recast characters or retire them when actors no longer want to continue playing their roles. According to Gunn, the matter has no exact answer. He believes that either case could happen, as it all depends on the situation in question. While the upcoming DC movies and series will serve as only the start of the DCU, it is interesting to see that Gunn already plans for the franchise"s distant future.
How James Gunn's DCU Recasting Comments Compare To The MCU Marvel Studios Is Already Dealing With Recasting Questions Close Back in 2016, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige commented on how the MCU would deal with recasting its biggest heroes. The executive specifically said that he could not imagine someone being better than Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man or Chris Evans as Captain America. However, he used Spider-Man to show that recasting major MCU heroes would be possible. At the time, Tom Holland was joining the MCU as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, with Feige noting how the fans embraced the casting. By using franchises like James Bond, Batman, and Sherlock Holmes, Feige said MCU recastings could happen.
