While Marvel is busy serving its fans with a plate full of its upcoming projects, Warner Bros is going wild with its cancellation frenzy leaving fans disappointed. WB’s merger with Discovery earlier this year and the end of HBO Max are taking DC Universe in another direction. Now, with the cancellation of strange adventures, what’s the next line to go on the guillotine?
Merger of Warner Bros and Discovery
WarnerMedia’s holding company, AT&T, has reached an agreement with Discovery to create a new media entity with David Zaslav as the new president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery. Zaslav made some changes across the board, including the end of HBO Max. He wants to bring a different marketing campaign while being agile. He said:
“Through our collective assets and diverse business model, Warner Bros. Discovery offers the most differentiated and comprehensive content portfolio for film, television and streaming. We believe we can provide more choice to consumers around the world while fostering creativity and creating shareholder value. »

He further added:
“We believe we could build a long-term, much more sustainable growth business out of DC, and as part of that, we’re going to focus on quality. We’re not going to release a movie until it’s ready… The focus will be on how do you make each of these movies, in general, as good as possible? »

On an episode of Hollywood chatter YouTube series, American filmmaker Kevin Smith has confirmed DC’s strange adventures The anthology series has been officially cancelled, stating:
“It looks like what used to be, to me, a bright future if we’re going to see a bunch of DC stuff on HBO Max; MORE DC stuff we’d see in theaters, including stuff like Strange Adventures…gone! It’s all just fucking gone now. I got a call from Eric the other day before this whole thing broke and he was like “Strange Adventures is officially dead”, and I was like “What is this, t are you serious?!” I know we haven’t heard from them in a while, but I guess part of that goes with the new moves with David Zaslav. But my God, I thought Strange Adventures was kind of causal that made sense to me. No one necessarily knows these characters, it felt like an expensive show.
He also expressed his opinion on the fate of The Green Lantern and said he had not heard of it since its development was announced.
“I don’t know that for a fact, but I also haven’t heard of the Green Lantern series they were supposed to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a victim too.
