Warner Bros. has rebranded – and wants to give the DCEU🎃 a whole new look, too.

In a $43 billion deal, Discovery has merged with WarnerMedia to create Warner Bros. Discovery. According to , CEO David Zaslav an♉d other higher-ups at the newly join🍌t company want to turn DC Entertainment into its own 'solidified content vertical.'

This could affect the future of DC movies, and it seems like Warner Bros. wants the brand to 🔜be a little bit mor♊e like Marvel.

Zaslav reportedly met and interviewed a number of candidates, including former top film executives at companies like 20th Century Studios and Paramount, in hopes of finding someone to serve as a 'creative and strategic czar' similar to Marvel's Kevin Feige. As the current president of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios and the primary producer of MCU movies since 2007, Feige has tr𒁃ansformed the brand into a nonstop box-office blockbuster machine.

Warner Bros.🐽 Discovery insiders reportedly believe that despite the success of Aquaman and The Batman, DC lacks a 'coherent creative and brand strategy.' The company wants to revitalize class characters like Superman, a🤡nd potentially give the hero a new series of standalone films that better re-establish his brand identity.

They also cited Todd Phillips' Joker and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn i.e. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Birds of Prey as perfect exam🔥ples of how 'second-billed' characters from the DC library can successfully be exploited.

Following the success of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Suicide Squad spin-off꧙ series Peacemaker, DC has two new Batman spin-offs in the works: an Arkham Asylum-centered show about Gotham PD and one that follows Colin Farrell's The Penguin. Black Adam, The Flash, and a new Aquaman installment are just a few of the upcoming films DC has in the pipeline.

Though the fate of the DCEU seems up💯 in the air, we're hoping this overhaul results in an𝄹 even bigger and better DC.
