Ever since Discovery acquired WarnerMedia, the new bosses of Warner Bros. Pictures are keenly looking ahead to find DC Films their own version of Marvel Studios’ head Kevin Feige.

As per a new report by Variety, sources reveal that David Zaslav — the CEO of the newly-formed Warner Bros. Discovery — and his leadership plan to completely overhaul DC Films have been “toying with the idea of turning DC into its own solidified content vertical.” If we believe the sources, before the whole merger was finalized, Zaslav had made an attempt to “vet candidates” trying to find “someone to serve as a creative and strategic czar similar to what Marvel has in Kevin Feige.”

Meanwhile, the DCEUs streaming series Peacemaker starring John Cena has also been renewed for another season, only on HBO Max. Readers should also keep in mind that it has been long speculated that the forthcoming The Flash would press the reset button on the DCEU franchise to some extent.

Talking outside the DCEU, the standalone film The Batman has also met with some really positive reviews and has had some really strong box office numbers, and has at least a couple of HBO Max spinoff series underway, with some murmurs of another potential sequel.
