The plan is set to go in motion by 2022


Entertainment Desk December 29, 2020

It appears that DC has a holistic multi-year plan ready to expand it’s cinematic and television presence. In a recent interview with the New York Time, President of DC Films Walter Hamada laid out a detailed vision for the future of the company’s superheroes on screen, reported Looper.

The plan which is set to go in motion in 2022 would witness as many as six films every year in addition to new streaming series for HBO Max.

According to the interview, films with the highest budget are slated for theatre release for four years starting from 2022. Meanwhile, films with relatively smaller budgets would go on HBO Max. Additionally aside from already announced series for HBO Max including Green Lantern Corps, Justice League Dark, and an unnamed show on a superhero high school, the plan going forward is to use its big films as launch pads for a whole host of other series

"With every movie that we're looking at now, we are thinking, 'What's the potential Max spinoff?'" Hamada was quoted as saying.  The president also talked about how DC will deal with consistency or lack of it when it comes to the large ensemble of characters.

The films are said to send out multiple characters into their parallel pocket realities within the larger multiverse. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, the article explains, will inhabit Earth 1, presumably along with the other heroes she appeared alongside in Justice League.

"I don't think anyone has else has ever attempted this," Hamada said. "But audiences are sophisticated enough to understand it. DC has already brought the concept of a multiverse to television with its Arrowverse, which included a cameo from the Earth 1 film version of the Flash, played by Ezra Miller.
