James Gunn just confirmed that he is working on multiple DCEU projects

According to an interview with Neil Vagg, Gunn is "working on another DC thing, and maybe another one," adding that there's a "couple of different things that we're balancing with the stories."

The writer-director has carved out a niche for himself as the go-to guy for superhero team-ups. After finding success with 2010's Super, Gunn solidified his status with 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy along with its sequel in 2017 and an upcoming threequel next year. In an alternate universe, Gunn probably wouldn't have gone to DC's camp in the first place. In 2018, Disney fired Gunn only to bring him back a year later but not before Gunn could sign a deal with the DCEU, culminating in the aforementioned projects and more potentially in the pipeline.

Even if Warner Bros. won't outright confirm that Gunn is going to be Snyder's replacement, he's the closest thing that DC has to Kevin Feige right now. We wouldn't be surprised if Gunn ends up getting the gig in a few years. Until then, Gunn is content playing for both sides. In addition to Peacemaker season 2 and the other DC projects, Gunn is also busy with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Speaking of comic book films and shows, the next few months are going to be huge for fans all over the world. Moon Knight will hit Disney+ on March 30, followed by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters on May 6 with Ms. Marvel and Thor: Love and Thunder up next on June 8 and July 8, respectively. Afterward, it's DC's turn following delays with Black Adam coming on October 21, 2022.
