In DC Comics, Swamp Thing interacts with
several other characters' storylines, making him a common thread
throughout the greater DC Universe, often helping to save it.
Fans on Tuesday reveled in DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn's plans
to bring the superhero back into the cinematic mix.
“Makes sense, if they want to cover the corners of established
parts of DC, Swamp Thing is a must,” The Raven's Loft tweeted.
Josh Parker also tweeted: "I'm honestly really glad we're
getting Swamp Thing back."
Another project that garnered fan praise is a TV series for
Amanda Waller, the leader of the Suicide Squad, played by Viola
Davis.
“She’s the perfect way to get characters together,” Playboi Cyr
tweeted.
The early positive reaction is a boon for Gunn, the director of
three "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies at Marvel, who hit some
criticism early on with his plans for the DC Universe under new
owner Warner Bros Discovery.
In December, Gunn said that a Superman movie without lead actor
Henry Cavill will be part of the DC slate and Cavill will not
reprise the role because the movie focuses on “an earlier part
of Superman’s life.”
For many fans, this was the first of many unsatisfying answers.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted more disappointing news for
some DC fans: “James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will
not be in their first chapter of storytelling.”
While fans were overwhelmingly positive about Gunn's direction,
some were skeptical.
"lol I feel bad for dc. This is not even better. It’s more
variety but won’t be as huge as you think," tweeted
EmilyBluntCompany.
