DC Cinematic Universe Is The Sandbox!

One of the producers of Batman V Superman, Charles Roven has found an interesting name to describe the DC Cinematic Universe. The term is ‘the sandbox’! According to Roven:

“We call it the sandbox. It has borders around it, but everybody gets to play in the sandbox. On Suicide Squad, David Ayer has a lot of specific control over his area of the sandbox. Even if he crosses the line a little bit, we see if we can push our boundaries back a little bit.”

After watching the first official trailer of Suicide Squad, it definitely seems David Ayer will ‘cross the line’ at least to some extent! Meanwhile, the other producer of the upcoming DC movie, Deborah Snyder (who is also the wife of Zack Snyder), depicted their cinematic universe as ‘kind of a timeline of what every movie is, where it is going, and where the films fit in relation to each other’. Well, I won’t be surprised if someone from Marvel uses similar words to describe the MCU (or have I already heard something very alike from them?)!

Zack Snyder – who can also be termed as the spearhead of the DC Cinematic Universe – claimed that the directors of all the solo movies have been provided ample space to ‘stretch their legs and do what they want’. However, he also said that those directors have to keep in mind that there’s ‘a big interconnected universe’. Zack added:

“I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like minded conceptual jumping on points.”
