Pictures Release date 2013 -- present Country United States Language English Budget Total ( 5 films ) : $1.099 billion Box office Total ( 5 films ) : $3.768 billion The DC Extended Universe ( DCEU ) is a 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 fourteenth 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, Amy Adams, Ben Affleck, 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 in 2018, Shazam ! in 2019 and Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, Cyborg and Green Lantern Corps in 2020. A multitude of other projects are in various stages of development.

Warner Bros. canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects after J.J. Abrams submitted another draft for Superman : Flyby. In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film. Christian Bale, who starred as Batman in Batman Begins ( 2005 ), was not approached to reprise the role, nor was Brandon Routh, who starred as Superman in Superman Returns ( 2006 ). George Miller was hired to direct the film, reportedly titled Justice League Mortal, 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. 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. In 2013, a reboot of the Superman franchise, Man of Steel, was set to lay the groundwork for future DC films. The film contained references to other characters in the DC Universe, so if it were a success, it could launch a shared universe. 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. 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. In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced a slate of ten DC films. While the rival Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) includes television productions, the DC 's new crossover film series 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. 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. '' 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. '' 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, which oversees production to form a cohesive creative direction for the franchise. DC Films will not be fully autonomous, with Johns reporting to DC president Diane Nelson and Berg reporting to Silverman. 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. 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. By January 2017, Johns and Berg reported to Emmerich. 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. DC also decided to begin deemphasizing the shared nature of their films, with Diane Nelson stating, `` Our intention, certainly, moving forward is using the continuity to help make sure nothing is diverging in a way that does n't make sense, but there 's no insistence upon an overall story line or interconnectivity in that universe... Moving forward, you 'll see the DC movie universe being a universe, but one that comes from the heart of the filmmaker who 's creating them. '' 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. In January 2018, Walter Hamada was appointed the President of DC Films and the new co-runner of the DCEU, replacing Berg. The following month, Chantal Nong was hired as Vice President of the film studio, additionally overseeing the production of the franchise. The pair were hired to oversee the future of the franchise with Johns, as the key production team managers. However, in June of the same year, Johns stepped down from his role as co-head of DC Films and co-runner of the DCEU. He will remain with the studio as co-chairman, while starting his own studio where he will take on a greater hands - on role with film media as a producer and screenwriter. His production company, Mad Ghost Productions, will produce future films in the franchise, as well as comic book and television media.

Notes Jump up ^ Upon announcement of the film series, 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 ). Keith Staskiewicz, writing for Entertainment Weekly, coined the term `` DC Extended Universe TM '' as a joke on an article of his about Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice on July 1, 2015. 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. 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. 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 ''. During the DC Films panel at San Diego Comic - Con 2018, a video banner displayed the words `` Welcome to the Worlds of DC '', after showcasing some upcoming films. As a result, some media outlets interpreted this as DC officially naming their shared film universe as the `` Worlds of DC ''. Despite this, there has been no official announcement from Warner Bros. nor DC Films to confirm this.
