It looks like James Gunn will be sticking around the DC Universe for a while. Despite The Suicide Squad failing to do much at the box office, which we can mostly blame on WB’s decision to open it on HBO Max as well, Gunn has confirmed he has another DCEU project in the works following his Peacemaker series.
Yes, I'm developing another DC project besides Peacemaker.

Yes, please.
Gunn is perfect for the DCEU, in my opinion, and there are loads of characters that could he’d be great for. Some of which he’s already used in The Suicide Squad. Of course, speculation is that he’s doing a sequel to that film, but it could very well be something completely new. There’s been talk of WB wanting him to do a Superman movie, for instance.
Next up for Gunn is completing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which could be his last stint within the MCU for a while.
