In 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran assumed the roles of co-CEOs of DC Studios, signaling a reboot for the DC Universe and marking the end of the DCEU era. James Gunn, in particular, has ambitious plans for the DCU, ushering in a new direction and vision for the cinematic universe. Now, it appears the Box Office opening difference betweenArgylleandThe Flashis something that will make Gunn happy.
The DCU is set to kick into high gear in 2025, withSuperman: Legacyserving as the true starting point for the new era. Fans are eagerly anticipating and, at the same time, approaching the DCU with a mix of excitement and hesitation, curious about what this new phase might bring.

Argylle’s Box Office Opening Compared To The Flash Will Definitely Make James Gunn Happy
In case you did not know,James Gunnfaced criticism for not including Henry Cavill’s Superman inSuperman: Legacy, and he received general trolling for allowing Cavill to depart from DC. However, Gunn clearly had a plan in mind and saw something that other people failed to see.
According toBox Office Pro, The Flash had a Box Office opening of $139 million last year, which was considered an abysmal failure for most. It proved to be the nail in the coffin for the DCEU in general as well.
However, as pointed out byThe Hollywood Handle, Henry Cavill’sArgylleended up getting an embarrassingly bad Box Office opening gross of just $35 million and the movie’s budget was $200 million. Therefore, James Gunn will certainly be happy about the film’s failure as it affirms his decision not to stick with Cavill in the DCU.

James Gunn revealed that the storyline forSuperman: Legacywill be ”Exactly the same” asMr. Smith Goes to Washington.
