DC Studios co-chair James Gunn has shared some more info as to what is canon from the old DCEU to the new DCU.
Speaking with Collider in support of the upcoming Creature Commandos, Gunn shared some information about the state of canon between the DCEU and the DCU. It's not as cute and dry as most people would think.
"Well, it's whatever we mention in anything," said Gunn. "Listen, Peacemaker is pretty easy. Peacemaker season 1 is basically canon outside of the appearance of the Justice League at the end, which you'll see something about that in Peacemaker season 2. [The] Suicide Squad is probably a little bit looser. We know that Rick Flag Sr. is angry because his son was killed by Peacemaker, so we know that situation happened in the past, we have something to refer to to think of what it might be like that that happened, but that exists as canon because it was mentioned in Creature Commandos, not necessarily because it existed in [The] Suicide Squad."
Gunn went on to add, "I think of [The] Suicide Squad and Peacemaker as pretty unreliable memories of what happened in the DCU."
Essentially, until someone says something about it in the DCU, you can't quite be sure if it's canon or not.
Creature Commandos will debut on Max on Dec. 5, and Superman will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
