Other characters that will appear in upcoming projects include Supergirl, Booster Gold, and Swamp Thing.

“I’ve loved DC characters since I was a kid. They are extremely important to me,” Gunn said.

“I knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something very different. One of the things that is very important to me and all these movies and TV series is that the vision of the director and the vision of the screenwriters and all the creators is unique, something special. – Storytelling is always king.

“That’s all that matters to us, and I want to be honest with those stories. I want to be honest with you and really give you something different that you’ve never seen before.”
