"Booster Gold" movie will not be a part of DC Extended Film Universe. Director Greg Berlanti confirms that Michael John Carter's alter ego will not live in the same world as Henry Cavill's Man of Steel, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller's The Flash, Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Ben Affleck's Batman.
Speaking to Vulture, the helmer says, "As of right now we have no connective tissue to those worlds." Though the DC superhero is said to be frequently partnered with Justice League members in the comic book series, Berlanti notes that Carter will be separated from his fellow DC superheroes in the upcoming film. "It'd be a separate thing," he says.
Berlanti reveals that the project emerged from a TV show that "never got off the ground." With his longtime producing collaborator Andrew Kreisberg, the helmer approached DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns with the idea of developing "Booster Gold" as a stand-alone movie, with "Thor" and "Power Rangers" scribe Zack Stentz providing the screenplay.
No information is known regarding the film's plot details. The character of Booster Gold appeared in 1986's comic book series and was created by Dan Jurgens. Michael John Carter gains his powers by using technology from the future, self-promoting himself as an advanced superhero in the present. Many saw the DC superhero as a potential bright spot in the DC Extended Universe.
