The Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe is a tremendous success and DC Films wants to replicate the formula.
Currently, movies Marvel Studios They are the most successful out there. In addition, they form a very large story that is being expanded more and more thanks to the series of Disney Plus. In the center of everything is Kevin Feige, whose beginnings as a producer were not very successful, but has managed to impose a brutal model that everyone now envies and wants to copy. So in DC Films they want their own Kevin Feige.
According to VarietyDavid Zaslav, the President of Warner Bros. Discoverywhich is the company that has the rights to DC Comics and therefore responsible for the films of DC Films, wants to create a Cinematic Universe more similar to Marvel Studios. In fact, they are looking for a “creative and strategic czar” to perform functions similar to those of Kevin Feige. So it would not be a manager who was just keeping an eye on the projects, but a person who could “keep all the different factions in DC working more harmoniously”.
Since, it must be remembered that the current composition of the hierarchy of DC it is very chaotic. Basically because there are five or six different high-level figures who control different projects in development.
The first name on the table is James Gunn. Director of Guardians of the Galaxy from Marvel Studios and the suicide squad of DC Comics knows perfectly how to handle characters from comics and has already worked in the two rival Cinematic Universes. But for now, it doesn’t seem like he wants to give up directing movies to be a company manager.
So after the premieres that are planned as Black Adam, Shazam! 2, Aquaman 2, The Flash y Wonder Woman 3plans will come to make everything more cohesive.
The movies of DC Comics are available in HBO Maxwhile those of Marvel Studios they are in Disney Plus.
