Although DC Studios CEO James Gunn has insisted that Darkseid isn’t going to be a big part of the DC Universe, other evidence suggests otherwise. A theory about the DCU’s future could prove that the ruler of Apokolips will show up sooner than later. Darkseid was previously a major part of Zack Snyder’s planned Justice League movies. Understandably, Gunn has shifted from Snyder’s original vision for DC and tried to carve out his own path.
