James Gunn Says His ‘Favorite' DCU Project Is a New TV Show, Talks Peacemaker‘s Importance to Phase 1
James Gunn's 'favorite thing' about the new DCU that will truly take flight when Superman flies into theaters next month is actually a TV show that 'hopefully will be made soon.' In a wide-ranging Q&A about his and fellow DC Studios CEO Peter Safran's plans for the new DCU, Gunn shared an update on a few TV projects, saying that (as of May 22), 'I'm about to wrap Peacemaker [Season 2, premiering Aug. 21]… We're going to see early episodes of that soon,' while 'Lanterns (starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart) is halfway through filming. We're going to see early episodes of that soon.'

'Then there's another TV show that's my favorite thing in all of this, that is hopefully getting made soon,' he teased. 'It's just my favorite thing.' Later in the Q&A, Gunn said, 'My favorite thing has not been announced at all.' He explained that 'when I pitched to [Warner Bros. Discovery CEO] David Zaslav what the DCU would be… we did not announce in that first meeting because I felt like it was too easy to rip off by another company.' Of note, in the weeks since Gunn sat for the EW interview, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation announced Mister Miracle, an adult animated series based on the comic book series by Tom King and Mitch Gerads — though it is unclear if that is or is not to what Gunn was referring. Elsewhere in the Q&A, Gunn was asked about the new DCU's opening phase, which is dubbed 'Gods and Monsters,' and he said that Peacemaker's sophomore season is a key component. 'I wouldn't say Creature Commandos' — the adult animated series that streamed on Max this winter, and technically launched the new DCU — 'is important, but Peacemaker and Superman are both pretty important in terms of getting to the bigger story,' he asserted.

'Breaking Bad' Producer Worried Bob Odenkirk's 'Silly' Saul Goodman Would Ruin the Series
Walter White came awfully close to never calling Saul. Bob Odenkirk's flashy, less-than-scrupulous lawyer Saul Goodman (a.k.a. Jimmy McGill) became one of the most memorable characters in Breaking Bad, going on to star in his own Emmy-nominated prequel series, Better Call Saul. But according to Breaking Bad producer and Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould, the character almost never made it onto the screen. 'His creation was all in service of Walt's story. We weren't thinking, 'Here's an independent character who's going to have a life of his own,' ' Gould tells Alan Sepinwall in an interview included in the TV critic's new book, Saul Goodman v. Jimmy McGill (out Feb. 4), excerpted by Gould wrote 'Better Call Saul,' the episode of Breaking Bad's second season in which Odenkirk's character made his debut. But even then, he tells Sepinwall, he wasn't sure Saul would have a future. 'Personally, as I was writing the episode, I got very nervous,' Gould explains. 'I got scared, because I was worried that we were going to break the show by making a character that was too silly — that he was going to be just too big for what I thought was a very grounded show. Grounded in its own way, let's put it that way.' Gould says his misgivings weren't helped by AMC's initial response to the script for the 2009 episode.

'[Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan] and I were on a conference call, and the question came up, basically, 'We don't like this character. Could we start again and come up with a different story for this episode?' ' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Gould explained that Gilligan refused to scrap 'Better Call Saul,' and the unnamed network exec backed down 'because they had to trust Vince.' 'But, you can think about what an alternative universe would be where we had had to throw that episode out,' Gould says.

Odenkirk was promoted to series regular for the show's third season, and continued to appear in the show until its 2013 finale. Gilligan and Gould were considering a spin-off for the character well before Breaking Bad ended, and in 2013, Better Call Saul premiered with Odenkirk starring. The series served as both an origin story for Saul, examining his early years as a lawyer and his gradual corruption, and a continuation of the character's story following the events of Breaking Bad. Odenkirk was nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and six Emmys for his performance in the series, which wrapped up in 2022. Read the original article on People
