Warner Bros. to Expand the DC Universe With 6 Superhero Films a Year.
DC Films head Walter Hamada has laid out
Warner Bros.’ intricate plan to expand the DC universe. .
He told 'The New York Times’ that the studio
is set to expand its slate of superhero movies for
both theaters and release on HBO Max. .
Starting in 2022, up to four titles will
be released in theaters.
and two more “riskier” projects will be
produced specifically for HBO Max.
The streaming platform will also be home
to a number of spinoff projects, such as ‘Suicide Squad’
spinoff ‘The Peacemaker’ and a ‘Batman’ spinoff. .
With every movie that we’re
looking at now, we are thinking,
‘What’s the potential Max spinoff?’, Walter Hamada, to 'The New York Times'.
The boldest change — Warner Bros. has decided to create
a DC multiverse, with 'Wonder Woman' existing on Earth 1 and
Robert Pattinson’s ‘Batman’ belonging to Earth 2. .
In addition, the DC extended universe
will have its own ‘Batman’ saga running
simultaneously with Pattinson’s ‘Batman.’.
I don’t think anyone else has ever
attempted this … But audiences are
sophisticated enough to understand
it. If we make good movies, they
will go with it. , Walter Hamada, to 'The New York Times'
