A recent report indicates that the future of James Gunn’s DC Universe films could be secure if Netflix purchased Warner Bros. (WB). Warner Bros. has been looking for a buyer, and while no deal has been announced yet, Netflix and Paramount are currently considered the most likely companies to acquire the studio.
With Netflix now involved in the future of DC, some fans are concerned. Netflix generally prefers to release content directly on its streaming service, while DC fans have grown used to seeing big superhero movies in theaters. However, these concerns might be unfounded.
Bloomberg reports that Netflix has indicated to Warner Bros. Discovery that, if it acquires the studio, it would continue Warner Bros.’ current practice of releasing movies in theaters. This means films from James Gunn’s DC Universe would likely still premiere in cinemas instead of going straight to streaming, and would be distributed by a Warner Bros. studio owned by Netflix.
Lately, a major point of contention surrounding Netflix has been their refusal to show their films in cinemas. This has caused a lot of debate within the entertainment industry.
As a movie fan, I’ve noticed a bit of a standoff between Netflix and the major studios – it seemed like Netflix wasn’t really playing the traditional movie release game. But lately, it’s cool to see they’re starting to test the waters with limited theatrical releases for their own films. It’s a nice change of pace!
This shift in strategy by Warner is expected to strengthen their attempt to acquire WB, making it more attractive to both those who oversee the deal and to Warner itself.
What Would a DCU Under Netflix Look Like?
DC fans have been closely watching Warner Bros., and just as James Gunn’s new DC Universe was starting to take shape, talk began about a possible sale of the company.
Even the most powerful heroes would be uneasy about this. It’s common for new owners of a company to want to make changes to reflect their own vision, and that could include altering what appears in DC movies and TV shows.
James Gunn has often talked about how unpredictable the entertainment industry is, and that was before the recent change in ownership added even more instability.
Based on what Netflix has indicated, if they were to acquire Warner, they’d likely maintain Warner’s current approach to releasing movies in theaters – meaning things wouldn’t change much on that front.
The main change for viewers of James Gunn’s DC Universe movies would likely be where they can watch them – they’ll probably be available on Netflix, and possibly sooner after release than they used to be, as Netflix continues to expand its streaming library.
This could also lead Netflix to reconsider its approach to releasing movies in theaters. If Warner Bros. is dedicated to theatrical releases for its DC films, perhaps Netflix should explore showing more of its own titles in cinemas too.
Netflix has already started exploring film production, like with Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Chronicles of Narnia movie. However, buying Warner Bros. could mean Netflix significantly expanding its presence in traditional movie theaters.
