Speaking to MTV, Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro revealed that he plans to tie his Justice League Dark movie – alternately titled Dark Universe and Heaven Sent – into the larger Warner Bros DC universe which includes Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel and the forthcoming Justice League film.

“I think that the great thing about the Dark Universe is that you have this possibility of basically creating this supernatural group, and you can play with different worlds, but I would love to see the DC Universe become as cohesive as the Marvel Universe,” said del Toro.

“So if there is any correlation I will honour it.”

The director also gave an update on the movie, which is expected to feature a whole host of supernatural DC Comics characters including John Constantine, Zatana, Deadman and Swamp Thing.

“I’m writing it right now,” he said. “I’m rewriting the outline. We have a writer that we’re waiting for, so I said to Warners I will rewrite the outline in the meantime.”
