While it always seems like Guillermo Del Toro has a lot on his plate when it comes to upcoming movies, one of his big projects is creating the Justice League Dark Universe for DC. But will his movies link to the upcoming films such as Batman v. Superman or their television shows?

Speaking with Super Hero Hype, Del Toro said that his universe would be different from the other DC properties, even though some heroes would be overlapping.

"I'm still working on it," Del Toro said.

"Sandman doesn't figure in the Dark Universe. We have Deadman, we have the Demon, we have Swamp Thing, we have Zatana, we have Constantine, but DC and Warners have been very clear that they are trying to keep those properties separate so when the time comes they can unite them, once they know they're quantifiable. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern... everyone eventually will come together. Right now, they're allowing us independence."

One hero mentioned, Constantine, will be featured on NBC this fall in an upcoming new television series, but according to Del Toro, he will still show up in the Dark Universe but is unconnected.

"No, I had that conversation when the Constantine show was pitched. I said, 'Do I have to have continuity with that?' and they said, 'No, feel free to continue the way you're going," Del Toro added.

As for the monster Del Toro is most excited to create, he said that it had to be Swamp Thing. "Swamp Thing for me is my favorite superhero of all times. I always like the monsters."

Del Toro's next film will be Crimson Peak, which hits theaters on October 16, 2015.
