The DC Extended Universe (DCEU)[1][2][3][4] is an unofficial term used to refer to an American media franchise and shared universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on characters that appear in American comic books by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books and the television programs, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The films have been in production since 2011 and in that time Warner Bros. has distributed five films. The series has grossed over $3.7 billion at the global box office, currently making it the thirteenth highest-grossing film franchise.
The films are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large, often ensemble, casts. Several actors, including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ray Fisher, have appeared in numerous films of the franchise, with continued appearances in sequels planned. In May 2016, DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg were appointed to co-run the DC Films division and oversee creative decisions, production and story-arcs in order to create a cohesive overarching plot within the films. In January 2018, Walter Hamada was appointed the president of DC Films, replacing Berg.
The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013) followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), Wonder Woman (2017) and Justice League (2017). Future films with scheduled release dates include: Aquaman (2018), Shazam! (2019), Wonder Woman 2 (2019), Cyborg (2020), and Green Lantern Corps (2020). A multitude of other projects are in various stages of development.

Development[edit]
In 2002, Wolfgang Petersen was set to direct a Batman vs. Superman film from a script by Akiva Goldsman.[5] Warner Bros. canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects after J. J. Abrams submitted another draft for Superman: Flyby.[6][7] In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film.[8] Christian Bale, who starred as Batman in Batman Begins (2005), was not approached to reprise the role,[9] nor was Brandon Routh, who starred as Superman in Superman Returns (2006).[10] George Miller was hired to direct the film,[11] reportedly titled Justice League Mortal,[12] with Armie Hammer cast as Batman, D. J. Cotrona as Superman, Adam Brody as Flash, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Common as Green Lantern, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter and Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord.[13] The project was put on indefinite hold in January 2008, after failing to secure tax breaks for filming in Australia, as well as the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike preventing progress on the script.[14]
In 2013, a reboot of the Superman franchise, Man of Steel, was set to lay the groundwork for future DC films.[15] The film contained references to other characters in the DC Universe, so if it were a success, it could launch a shared universe.[16][17] Days before Man of Steel's release in June, it was reported that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would be returning for a sequel, which was being fast-tracked by Warner Bros.[18] In July, at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that the sequel would include Batman in a main role, thus establishing the shared universe.[19][20] In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced a slate of ten DC films.[21]

with Jon Berg (2016–2017), Walter Hamada (2018–present) and Chantal Nong (2018–present)
Upon announcement, the universe was commonly called the "DC Cinematic Universe" by fans and the media, in keeping with the naming convention of the already established Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[22][23][24] Keith Staskiewicz, writing for Entertainment Weekly, coined the term "DC Extended Universe™" as a joke on an article of his about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on July 1, 2015.[3][1] This and the abbreviation DCEU quickly spread among the press and fans thinking of it as the official name of the franchise over the following years.[25][4] According to Vulture writer Abraham Riesman, DC confirmed to him in September 2017 that the term is not used internally and they do not consider it official.[1] While the MCU includes television productions, the DCEU is a shared continuity for films. Several television series featuring DC characters and storylines have their own shared continuity, frequently referred to as the Arrowverse.[26] DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns explained DC's difference in approach to Marvel Studios and their cinematic universe, saying, "We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through ... It's just a different approach."[27] In June 2015, Warner Bros. president of creative development Greg Silverman expanded on DC's approach to their cinematic universe, saying, "We ... take these beloved characters and put them in the hands of master filmmakers and make sure they all coordinate with each other. You'll see the difference when you see ... the things that we are working on."[28]
In May 2016, following criticism of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. established a DC Films division with Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg as its heads,[29] which oversees production to form a cohesive creative direction for the franchise.[30][31] DC Films will not be fully autonomous, with Johns reporting to DC president Diane Nelson and Berg reporting to Silverman.[30] Charles Roven was also moved from his day-by-day producer role on future DC films, which he had served since 2005's Batman Begins, to an administrative executive producer role.[32] In December, Silverman was ousted from his role in Warner Bros., and Toby Emmerich was promoted to president and chief content officer, in his place.[33] Later in 2016, as part of DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League, both Geoff Johns and Kevin Smith referred to the franchise's name as being the "Justice League Universe".[2] By January 2017, Johns and Berg reported to Emmerich.[34] Following the financial and critical success of Wonder Woman in June 2017, Johns stated that moving forward the films will focus on the heart, humor, hope, heroics, and optimism of the characters.[35] As a result of Justice League's underperformance at the box office, Berg left his position by January 2018 and became a production partner with Roy Lee.[36][37]
In January 2018, Walter Hamada was appointed the President of DC Films and the new co-runner of the DCEU, replacing Berg.[37] The following month, Chantal Nong was hired as Vice President of the film studio.[38] The pair will jointly oversee the future of the franchise with Johns, as the key production team managers.

In March 2016, a Suicide Squad sequel was in development.[211] The following year, Adam Cozad was hired to write the script;[212] Zak Penn also submitted a story treatment.[213] In September 2017, Gavin O'Connor was hired as screenwriter and director.[214][215] In January 2018, Michael De Luca joined the project as producer.[216] Suicide Squad 2 is scheduled to begin production in October 2018.[217]
By November 2016 Birds of Prey, based on the female superhero team of the same name, was in development with Christina Hodson signed on as screenwriter.[218] By April 2018, Warner Bros. selected Cathy Yan as director, with Margot Robbie, Sue Kroll, and Bryan Unkless serving as producers for the project. Robbie will reprise her role as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn, with production reported to commence at the beginning of 2019.[219][220]
Other films involving Harley Quinn are in development, including Gotham City Sirens,[221] and an untitled Joker/Harley Quinn film.[222][223] In December 2016, David Ayer was hired to direct and produce Gotham City Sirens, based on the team with the same titular name, from a screenplay by Geneva Robertson-Dworet.[221] In September 2017, Margot Robbie confirmed that the filmmaking duo of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa will co-write/direct/produce the Joker and Harley Quinn film.[223][224]
In December 2016, The Hollywood Reporter noted that a film focusing on Floyd Lawton / Deadshot was in development.[225]
By January 2017, it was announced that Dwayne Johnson will feature as the anti-hero Black Adam in a film focusing on the character.[135] In October 2017, Adam Sztykiel was hired as the screenwriter.[226] In April 2018, Johnson stated that production was planned to begin the following year.[227][228]
In February 2017, a film centered on Dick Grayson / Nightwing was in development, with Chris McKay and Bill Dubuque signed on as director and screenwriter respectively.[229] According to McKay, the script was nearing its final draft by February 2018.[230]
By March 2017, Joss Whedon was hired to write, direct and produce a Barbara Gordon / Batgirl-centric film.[231] Whedon was to begin production on the film in 2018,[232] but he stepped down in February 2018.[233] In April 2018, Christina Hodson was hired as screenwriter for the film.[234] The studio is actively looking for a female director.[235]
In October 2017, a film centered around Slade Wilson / Deathstroke was in development, with Gareth Evans hired as the screenwriter and director.[236]
By March 2018, a film about the New Gods, an alien race introduced in Justice League, was in development with Ava DuVernay signed on as the film's director. Kario Salem was writing a draft of the story with DuVernay while the studio searches for a screenwriter.[237][238]
Additional materials[edit]
The "Communion" scene in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice teases the events in Justice League, showing the villain Steppenwolf and the three Mother Boxes.
In order to expand and build the universe the films are set in, some additional material has been released, such as additional scenes or bonus material included in the home releases of the films. The purpose of said material is also to setup and tease the overarching narrative that future installments of the franchise will adhere to. In the case of additional scenes, on March 28, 2016, Warner Bros. released to the public via its YouTube channel, a scene not shown in theaters for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, titled "Communion", which teased the events that would be depicted in Justice League; the scene was later integrated in the Ultimate Edition home release of the film. Similarly, in the Blu-ray disc home release of Wonder Woman, an epilogue is included in the form of a short titled "Etta's Mission", which details a final incident that transpired after the events of the film. Etta teases the existence of a Mother Box, which is crucial to Justice League.[239]
Although not all the films in the franchise resort to this practice, some of them make use of post-credits scenes to further develop character relationships and establish the plot elements that will influence future installments, such as Suicide Squad and Justice League.
