Studio behind DC film projects
Warner Bros. removed a Supergirl featurette from YouTube hours after upload when fans noticed director Craig Gillespie scrolling through what appeared to be AI-generated concept art for Jason Momoa's Lobo. The film has grossed just $124 million globally against a $170 million budget, and creative clashes between Gillespie and DC Studios reportedly led to competing cuts before release.
Alan Ritchson has confirmed he is in active conversations with DC Studios about joining the new DCU, though he has effectively ruled himself out of playing Batman in the near future. The Reacher star addressed persistent casting rumors during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, teasing a different mystery role instead.
Warner Bros.' Supergirl is forecasted to end its theatrical run with a substantial loss, potentially exceeding $100 million, after a disappointing opening weekend with only $68 million globally. The film's poor performance, coupled with mixed fan reactions and a crowded summer release schedule, contributes to the projected loss. Despite this, DC Studios remains confident in its broader strategy.
