DC is planning major changes to become more like Marvel Studio

According to reports, DC is planning major changes to become more like Marvel Studios.


DC trying to compete Marvel

Warner Bros. appears to be at least beginning to show hints of being on the right road with its DC franchises. In recent years, the studio's super-powered attempts on the big and small screens have been the brunt of numerous jokes; but, the tide is turning. More recent DC adaptations, such as The Batman, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker, have all received mainly excellent reviews, indicating that things may be going brighter.

And if this upward trend continues, DCEU supporters may finally have something to look forward to.


Audiences were subjected to mediocre production under the direction of filmmakers like David Ayer and Zack Snyder, an output that Warner Bros. is trying hard to alter.

In the past, Warner has tried to emulate Marvel Studios as closely as possible, establishing a common world of heroes that leads to collaboration projects. However, the studio did not take the time to flesh out that universe, leading to widespread criticism that the DCEU was rushed and lacked a unified vision.

As WB distances itself from previous practises, they appear to be stealing another page from their competitors' playbook, which may actually benefit them this time.



Marvel Studios is influencing Warner Bros.


According to Variety, Warner Bros. is overhauling its DC entertainment vertical to more closely resemble competition Marvel Studios' methods.

According to sources, Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav and senior executives are looking at combining their DC TV and movie projects into a single "solidified content vertical."

Instead of having DC TV projects under Warner Bros. Television and its motion picture endeavours under Warner Bros. Pictures Group, everything DC would be under one umbrella, similar to how Marvel Studios operates at Disney.According to reports, DC is planning major changes to become more like Marvel Studios. The decision to bring these disparate aspects together under one banner has been characterised as an attempt to "maximise the value of the [DC] superhero stable" in order to compete more effectively with Marvel.

Along with the unification of its diverse brands, the studio appears to be on the lookout for a leader to lead this new division. Emma Watts, a former executive at 20th Century Studios and Paramount, is said to have been approached by the company, but no agreement has been reached.

Despite the success of previous DC flicks, insiders say the brand needs a "coherent creative and brand strategy," therefore this is a clear attempt to address that problem.




For DC fans, news like this will provide a welcome break from the brand's almost decade-long slump. While there have been high points, Warner Bros.' superhero endeavours have seemed disconnected, with little success in weaving a cohesive tale across its productions.

This doesn't mean they have to recreate the MCU in its entirety, but it does indicate that they want to give the linked storyline idea another shot. They don't say it openly, but it's clear where Zaslav and the WB brass are aiming their guns.


The figurehead they're looking for will be the most important factor here. Kevin Feige is at the head of the MCU machine, which is why it functions as effectively as it does.

This employment decision might make or ruin the endeavour before it even begins. They appear to be searching for someone with strong business ability, but they will undoubtedly want someone who excels in the artistic realm as well. The nicest thing about Feige is that he is both a business savvy and a creative force to be reckoned with.

Perhaps Warner should take a Jobs/Wozniak two-pronged strategy.Hire someone like Watts to help with the business side, and then promote someone like Paul Dini, the creator of the DC Animated Universe, or Jay Olivia, the guy behind the DC Animated Universe. If these two operate well together, DC may find that this is the best path to go.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
