James Gunn responds to the 'Sell The Snyderverse to Netflix' fan campaign, saying neither Netflix nor Zack Snyder have expressed any interest in such a deal. Further, the DC Studios co-CEO says Snyder contacted him 'to express his support.'
James Gunn responds to the fan campaign to get Zack Snyder's Justice League franchise future, aka the Snyderverse, sold to Netflix. The DC Universe is getting a relaunch following the creation of DC Studios, which will start a new era for the brand. With Gunn and Peter Safran leading the charge, the DCEU is slowly reaching its end while the DCU is up and coming. The new franchise will properly start in 2025 with Superman: Legacy, after The Flash film helps partially reset the universe.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Similar to the Release the Snyder Cut movement, a #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix campaign has been going on for quite some time. The idea is to try to get Netflix to distribute the Snyderverse on their platform, allowing the filmmaker's unfinished vision to go on outside the DCU. As passionate as some fans are, Gunn took to Twitter to respond to the idea of the movement.
According to the DC Studios co-CEO, Netflix has no interest in this ideal he called it "the wackiest hashtag ever." Gunn did tease that they have been in talks about "other stuff" while also bringing up Snyder's position. At the time of this story's publication, Netflix has not commented on the #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix campaign.
Even if the Snyderverse were sold to Netflix, the director likely wouldn't be able to start working on any sequels until his ongoing projects were done. But more importantly, it wouldn't be in Warner Bros. Discovery's best interest to license off a whole DC franchise to Netflix when they are getting ready to properly launch the DCU. Not to mention, it's unlikely Warner Bros.
While the Snydeverse may be dead as of right now, that doesn't mean Gunn couldn't continue it as an Elseworlds movie franchise. If it ever does happen, it wouldn't be for many years since the DCU won't properly launch until 2025. Then, it remains to be seen where DC Studios and Snyder are at that point and whether either party will want to resurrect the Snyderverse. For now, Zack Snyder's Justice League universe can be relived through home release and streaming.
