Involved in controversy, Walter Hamada leaves the command of DC Films
Walter Hamada, head of Warner Bros. in charge of the DC film slate, resigned from his position after fifteen years.
Embroiled in controversies and accusations of racism, Hamada had renewed his contract until 2023. However, he decided to leave the division after Warner Bros. Discovery has decided to shelve the “Batgirl” movie.
Hamada hired a lawyer to mediate his dismissal. He decided to stay on until the end of October to monitor the reception of the film ‘Black Adam’.
A source behind the scenes at Warner Bros. Discovery said the executive was “taking a career break”.
Michael DeLuca, co-chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures, will rock the movies while the studio searches for someone like Kevin Feige.
Have fun watching:
Hamada was working to craft DC’s multiverse introduction to the movie canon, beginning with “The Flash,” which would feature Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman.
According to Variety, Hamada will continue to report to the chairman of Warner Bros. Picture Group, Toby Emmerich. Hamada has been an increasingly visible presence since FanDome, announcing in December that DC planned to put together an ambitious release slate that would split its releases between the theatrical track and straight to HBO Max.
He was also the subject of a long profile in the New York Times, published on December 27.
Hamada came to DC Films in 2018 from Warner’s New Line Cinema label, where he released the remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”
