Producer Dan Lin, known for such films as 'It,' 'Aladdin,' and 'The Lego Movie,' is poised to take over the DCEU at Warner Bros. Discovery.
Warner Brothers Discovery and DC have seen some major changes over the last month as new CEO David Zaslav has started to establish his vision for the company. There have been major film cancellations like Batgirl, delays for films like Shazam 2, and WBD has started teasing fans about their new 10-year-plan for DC. Now it looks like DC and Zaslav finally have found their own version of Kevin Feige. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, producer Dan Lin is in talks to be the next head of DC.
The deal is still being negotiated, but if it does get done, Lin would be reporting directly to Zaslav. This means there would be fewer talking heads with every decision made. The producer would also be taking over for Walter Hamada who will be transitioned out of the role. Hamada’s tenure at DC was a rocky one as he was tasked with cleaning up the mess left by the Justice League 2017.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The head of DC has been one of the most sought-after jobs in Hollywood over the last number of months. People like Amy Pascal and Greg Berlanti were some of the big names that were reportedly in the running for the job. However, if Lin is going to be the new head at DC, the producer would be a good choice. Besides the fact that Lin started his career working with current WB Advisor Alan Horn as a Junior Executive, his stellar resume speaks for itself.
Zaslav is currently in the middle of a major reset period for DC. Because of that, most of his recent decisions haven’t won him any favors with DC fans or Hollywood insiders alike. However, if Lin is hired, the producer can hopefully be the start of DC’s path back to greatness and a more stable future.
