Walter Hamada, who has beene the president of DC Films since 2018, was brought on board at the studio to help build its future. He believes that rather than starting over from scratch, the solution is to take what they already have and move forward with a multiverse. He told The New York Times that
Eccentric and unpredictable filmmaker Quentin Tarantino first made a name for himself as an actor in key films like Reservoir Dogs (which he also directed) and Desperado before his talents as a director began to seize the hearts and minds of American audiences. He’d already had a smash hit in 1994’s Pulp Fiction, and he’d soon follow it up with Jackie Brown in 1997. RELATED: Kill Bill:
A word for stocks in 2020: epic — as in monumental, as a bona fide crash in the spring alternated thereafter with convulsions of angst and optimism reflecting a world turned upside down by the first global pandemic in a century.

As a leader in the #ReleaseSnyderCut movement, Zheng receiving this image (from Snyder himself, we’re going to assume) is well deserved given her’s, as well as the DCEU fandom’s, arduous work.

Voicing Joe in Soul, Jamie Foxx is the first Black Disney-Pixar lead. When I initially heard this, I was a little mad. Did I read that right? It took us until 2020 to get the first Black lead in a Pixar film? But also, I don’t care when it happened so much as I care

As pollyannaish as it sounds, especially as the domestic 2020 box office crumbles to a historic all-time low of $2.27 billion due to the coronavirus pandemic, the global theatrical business is poised for a comeback in 2021.
