The third "Wonder Woman" movie is no longer moving forward, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Director Patty Jenkins' film apparently doesn't fit in with future plans for the DC movie universe. The report follows an Instagram post from star Gal Gadot, who shared on Tuesday a photo of herself as Wonder Woman, with a caption that said she "Can't wait to share her next chapter with you." The first "Wonder Woman" in 2017 was a critical and box-office hit, grossing $822 million globally. 2020's sequel, "Wonder Woman 1984," earned just $170 million, but was released amid the coronavirus pandemic and debuted simultaneously in theaters and on the streaming service HBO Max.
Dwayne Johnson went around the DC film boss to seek approval for a major character's cameo in "Black Adam." The new Warner Bros. studio heads said yes to the cameo, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Neither representatives for Johnson nor Warner Bros. immediately returned requests for comment. "Black Adam" is the first franchise tentpole theatrical release in months, as movie theaters face a lack of new releases compared with before the pandemic. "Black Adam" comes at a time when the DC movie franchise itself is at a crossroads.
MoffettNathanson analyst Robert Fishman crystallized the daunting task ahead for Zaslav and WBD in his August 5 report "Reality First. The honeymoon was short-lived," said one senior Hollywood insider. It turns out there are five, housing some 40,000 employees globally: Warner Bros., HBO Max, the Turner entertainment channel business, CNN, and Discovery. The WBD insider said there isn't a rush to hire a new chief and that the company will continue to meet people. Under the ownership of AT&T, WarnerMedia's financials were buried in its parent's spreadsheets — now as a pure-play entertainment company, Warner Bros.
