Cruise and Warner Bros. go a way back, and he starred in multiple high-profile projects for the studio, including his hit movies The Last Samurai, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, and Interview with the Vampire. Their collaboration ended with sci-fi action flick Edge of Tomorrow in 2014, but they’re finally coming back for another ride!

Cruise will develop and produce original and franchise films which he’ll star in through his new strategic partnership with Warner Bros. and he can’t wait to get to work with David Zaslav, Michael De Luca, and Pam Abdy.

“I have great respect and admiration for David, Pam, Mike, and the entire team at Warner Bros. Discovery and their commitment to movies, movie fans, and the theatrical experience. I look forward to making great movies together!” said Cruise in a statement.

Cruise’s Warner Bros. partnership isn’t an exclusive nor first-look deal, and he’ll continue his collaboration with Paramount on the Mission: Impossible franchise, in addition to working on a new space movie with Doug Liman for Universal.

James Gunn and Peter Safran took on the joint roles of chairperson and CEO at the beginning of November after advising Warner Bros. Discovery CEO, David Zaslav, during his search for a head of DC Films. 

Although it was released during the pandemic and didn’t receive as good a response as the original which broke box office records, a sequel to Wonder Woman 1984 was announced shortly after it was re-released in theatres. Sadly, it seems that Wonder Woman 3 will not be going ahead as planned. 

Director Patty Jenkins is believed to have handed in a treatment of the new film, but was told that it did not align with Gunn and Safran’s new vision for the DC Universe and that the project would thus not be made. Although neither Jenkins nor Warner Bros. has commented, Wonder Woman star, Gal Gadot, did post an intriguing message on social media.

“A few years ago it was announced that I was going to play Wonder Woman. I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character and more than anything I’m grateful for YOU. The fans. Can’t wait to share her next chapter with you.”

The follow-up to the origin story starring Jason Momoa as the titular character was meant to hit screens next March, but issues at Warner Bros. has pushed back the release date. As a result, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will only be released on December 25, 2023.

Another film feeling the effects of the studio restructuring is the Shazam! sequel. Shazam! Fury of the Gods was initially set to premiere this December, but will instead come out on March 17, 2023—Aquaman’s original date. 

The moves follow the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc in April this year. The head of the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group stepped down in May, leading to DC Films, Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, and Warner Animation Group all receiving their own leadership. Warner Bros. Discovery has been looking to spread out the marketing and distribution costs associated with releasing a studio tentpole, resulting in Aquaman and Shazam! being shuffled on the calendar. 

Although the delay is disappointing, fans of both franchises can breathe a sigh of relief that the movies didn’t suffer the same fate as Batgirl which was totally shelved, despite being complete and costing $90 million to produce.

Back in 2021, Warner Bros. decided to create a number of feature films specifically for HBO Max. Amongst those greenlit for the streaming network was Batgirl. The film would be based on the DC Comics character, Barbara Gordon, who is the daughter of Gotham City’s police commissioner and moonlights as a vigilante. 

Leslie Grace of In The Heights had been cast in the titular role with Spider-Man: No Way Home star J.K. Simmons playing Commissioner James Gordon, Doom Patrol actor Brendan Fraser as Firefly, and Morbius star Michael Keaton appearing as Batman. 

Filming took place in Scotland between November 2021 and March 2022 with Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah of Bad Boys fame helming the project. 

Despite the movie being complete, Warner Bros. has decided not to release it on HBO Max or, in fact, anywhere at all. The decision is reportedly due to the company’s desire for DC films to rather be theatrical blockbusters. As Batgirl was budgeted to screen in homes on HBO Max, and not for a major global release in theaters, the $90 million production has effectively been killed. 

The Scooby-Doo adaptation, Scoob!: Holiday Haunt, which would have served as a sequel to the 2020 film, Scoob!, has also been shelved by the studio.

Now, the studio is coming up with a surprising solution to help them make better business decisions. THR reports that Warner bros. signed with Cinelytic’s artificially intelligent project management system which will evaluate different factors regarding future projects and recommend whether to go ahead with them or not. The final decision, however, will be left to human hands.

“The system can calculate in seconds what used to take days to assess by a human when it comes to general film package evaluation or a star’s worth,” says Cinelytic’s founder Tobias Queisser. The AI system will determine the probability of success for films based on their budgets, brand, and associated talent. 

Warner Bros.’ senior vice president of distribution, Tonis Kiis told THR that “the more precise our data is, the better we will be able to engage our audiences.”
