The Justice League is one of the most beloved and the very renowned teams of superheroes in the world of comic books, TV series, and movies. While we have had a chance to witness the great protectors of the earth in Zack Snyder’s movies coming out in the DC Extended Universe, people are still hoping to see them in the newly rebooted franchise, which will be helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. 

Talking about the existence of the team, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 recently stated to The Hollywood Reporter that the first season of Peacemaker works as a “light canon” with Creature Commandos and the new DCU.

Adding to his words, Gunn then went on to add “Peacemaker is pretty straightforward, with the exception of the appearance by a certain group [the Justice League] at the end. They don’t exist yet.”

The director, James Gunn then also stated that if there are any mentions of the past DCEU movies in the new DCU projects, only then there are the possibilities of the existence of the event or of the character. 

For those who do not know, Peacemaker gave the audience one of the last looks at the major superheroes such as Aquaman played by Jason Momoa, and Ezra Miller’s Flash. 

While the audience even saw a faceless Superman and Wonder Woman, they were not played by Henry Cavill or Gal Gadot but instead, by there body double, Brad Abramenko and Kimberley von Ilberg.
