The Hollywood Reporter shared a massive update about the state of all DC‘s films. They confirmed that DC Films head Walter Hamada will be quietly stepping down this week, with no one else currently set to take his place. While Lego Batman producer Dan Lin was in talks at one point, he ultimately did not move forward with the position. Reports still indicate that WB Discovery is looking for someone to guide the DC Extended Universe in a similar manner to Kevin Feige guiding the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
