After having created The CW’s Arrowverse along with Greg Berlanti and others, Marc Guggenheim now stares at an unceremonious exit from the DCU altogether. The Arrowverse, which has been an integral part of the DCEU for over a decade, will finally draw to a close this year with the series finale ofThe Flash. Guggenheim had started it off withArrow, which starred Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, which was launched on The CW.
Now that the DCU ship is helmed by co-CEOs Peter Safran and James Gunn, things are rapidly changing within the superhero universe. A lot of old faces are being swapped out for newer faces, and it seems like Guggenheim hasn’t found favor with his new bosses as well, and will have to move on from the DCU after The Arrowverse comes to an end. Understandably, he is not impressed.
Marc Guggenheim feels he wasted his time with DC career-wise
Arrowverse co-creator Marc Guggenheim admits to feeling rejected after being left out of James Gunn’s DC Universe films and shows. “The Arrowverse hasn’t led to any other gigs, so it feels — at least on a career level — that I really wasted my time.“https://t.co/Vtejoq2Lq1pic.twitter.com/E5FBm4nK6X

“Not a job, mind you. A meeting. A conversation. A small recognition of what I’d tried to contribute to the grand tapestry that is the DC Universe. I’d only spent nine years toiling in that vineyard, after all… although working for DC had been creatively fulfilling, it involved a lot of adversity, challenges, and personal sacrifices — none of which seem to have accrued to any professional benefit. Simply put, the Arrowverse hasn’t led to any other gigs, so it feels — at least on a career level — that I really wasted my time.”he wrote.
Marc Guggenheimacknowledges that working for the past decade or so had been “creatively fulfilling”, but seeing that he wasn’t considered by the DCU now, he felt like all that time had been wasted, career-wise.
