Former DC co-publisher Dan DiDio has been surrounded by a lot of mystique since his sudden departure from the company in February of this year, with the exact reasoning behind it still being unclear.
Despite his hesitance to talk details, DiDio has still come forth to do a live interview on Youtube. In this nearly two hour long talk, DiDio notably discusses rumors surrounding the mysterious "5G" that DC's books and creators have been teasing.
"It was a concept, an idea, a pitch that either will or won't reach fruition – beats me," DiDio explained. "It's something I was pushing forward." After being asked if the concept is meant to be similar to Marvel's "Marvel NOW!" initiative, in which some iconic roles were replaced by legacy characters, he revealed, "I'll tell you right now, it wasn't that. It wasn't even close to that. The only thing I'll say is, it was a long-term plan featuring a lot of the key, recognizable characters, and a long-term evolution over years that had been thought out."
5G was supposed to get a series of one-shots sometime this year, but was delayed due to coronavirus. The ultimate fate of 5G is, at this point, still up in the air.
