DC Films head Walter Hamada has officially exited Warner Bros. Discovery after his controversial tenure running the DCEU.
Hollywood super-boss Walter Hamada is leaving the Warner Bros. brand after 15 years as an executive and nearly four years as the President of DC Films. Hamada is an award-winning producer and business magnate that built up his career producing horror. While serving as President of DC Films, Hamada grew the DC Extended Universe to 11 feature films with several other dynamic projects either in production or soon arriving, including Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Hamada's tenure as the President of DC Films has been loaded with booms and busts. He took over the spot after the famously dysfunctional Justice League film whiffed with audiences and critics. Allegations of toxicity against Justice League reshoot director Joss Whedon prolonged the administrative and legal crisis deep into Hamada's term.
What Does Hamada's Departure Mean For The DCEU? Hamada is leaving the DC brand in decent shape with hotly anticipated sequels in place for Robert Pattinson's Batman and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. However, these films exist outside the traditional DCEU, which still needs fleshing out to catch up with Marvel. There was evidently a difference of opinion on the direction of the DCEU between Hamada, the top company brass, and the DCEU's key stars.
The next 5 films in the DCEU are currently in post-production, but fans cannot assume that projects green-lit under Hamada will make it to the big screen. As evidenced by the Batgirl fiasco, Warner Bros Discovery will not hesitate to pull the plug at the last moment. The next DC Films president will have a tall task ahead of them trying to meet Zaslav's expectations while transitioning out of the mostly successful Hamada era.
