Joker director Todd Phillips is drawing interest from Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav for a role at DC Films
✖ A major shakeup at Warner Bros. Discovery has CEO David Zaslav eyeing Joker director Todd Phillips for an important role at DC Films. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Executives Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy are being brought in by the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO the WB and New Line verticals after departing MGM. With De Luca and Abdy coming in, Toby Emmerich would step down from running WB and New Line.
Zaslav has consulted with former Disney studio chairman Alan Horn and former Disney CEO Bob Iger for tips on navigating multiple verticals and executive producers at a company. While Disney has Kevin Feige overseeing Marvel's film, television, and comic output, DC doesn't have one guiding voice to help steer the ships.
Zaslav is already making moves after the Warner Bros. Discovery merger was completed. The CEO has canceled plans for a Wonder Twins movie on HBO Max, and is"imposing a mandate that DC movies should now be made with a theatrical-first goal." A source quoted in the report also claims that"a lot of things that were developed are going to go away."
