Which Warner Bros movies will survive Skydance’s big shake-up?

Skydance’s Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein will oversee Warner Bros’ slate, including Barbie 2 and Batman Part II

Skydance Pictures executives Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein are set to oversee Warner Bros’ upcoming theatrical slate as the studio prepares for a new era following the Paramount-Warner Bros merger.

Among the projects expected to receive close attention is Barbie 2, which remains a major priority for the new leadership. Warner Bros is hoping Greta Gerwig will return to direct and co-write the sequel with Noah Baumbach, while Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are expected to reprise their roles.

The new leadership will also assess projects at various stages of production and development. The Warner Bros slate includes major franchises such as Dune: Part Three, Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, The Conjuring: First Communion and The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, the follow-up to Superman, is also in post-production, while The Batman Part II is in production but currently paused. The sequel is scheduled for release in February 2028.

Other films in production include an untitled Ocean’s prequel starring Bradley Cooper and Robbie, a new Nancy Meyers film featuring Owen Wilson, Jude Law, Kieran Culkin and Erin Doherty, and several animated projects.

Warner Bros is also developing potential franchise titles including Matrix 5, Gremlins 3, Constantine 2, Goonies 2 and a live-action Hot Wheels movie.

Skydance co-CEO David Ellison has said the company remains committed to both franchise films and original storytelling. Meanwhile, Warner Bros and Paramount are expected to operate as separate creative studios while coordinating their release schedules.

The new leadership will ultimately determine which Warner Bros projects move forward as the combined company balances its extensive film pipeline with financial pressures.
