Stakes from $ 700 million Superman: What is riding on the big bet of DC Studios

With Superman Flying in the cinemas this July, this film is the trial ground of DC Studios. A new The Wrap report reveals the $ 225 million budget massif and for what it will take James GunnDCC release to survive his inaugural flight.

According to professionals, the draw line is around $ 500 million globally, but for the discovery of Warner Bros., expectations rise much higher.

A talent agent told The Wrap: “While the release dates are important, I don’t think the challenge is Jurassic World: Rebirth Or any other movie. The challenge is almost entirely a matter of if Superman Risse with today’s audience. Have they successfully updated a character of the Eisenhower era so that the 2025 Gen Z audience can identify with him? “

It is a right question. Superman can be iconic, but this does not guarantee modern relevance. The agent continued: “The simple recognition of the Superman brand will probably bring them to almost $ 500 million all over the world, but whatever above it will be because the public identifies with the character of the title”.

Another source suggested that 500 million dollars could still involve a modest profit, but modest will not cut it for the discovery of Warner Bros. David Zaslav He is betting the house on DC, Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings to extract the study from his financial routine.

Superman He must approach $ 700 million to hit the state of “victory” in the eyes of the Ottone in the studio.

What if it is not up to par? Things become dark. While shows like Pacifier Season 2, LanternAND Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow They are still going on, 2027 and beyond it is another story.

The plans are already moving, Sgt. Rock According to reports, he died in the water, in part due to the unpredictable time of the United Kingdom, and in part because of … well, lack of interest of the public.

A nameless source said it in no uncertain terms: “Supergirl” is a much safer bet, let’s say, Sgt. RockThat despite a good package, it is a property with zero awareness in the largest landscape. There are best mature superheroes for adaptation in the DC library. “

DC’s strategy now seems reactive. An employee in the studio confirmed: “outside of anything linked to Batman, most likely will wait to react to how Superman He performs before deciding which superhero from their library faces others.

Green lighting Supergirl It may seem risky, but extends the new universe they are trying to establish and shows a commitment to the largest brand. “

However, Batman cannot bring this universe to his hood alone. The Batman: Part II remains in development, e The brave and the bold It is approaching the rhythm of a snail. The voices already suggest a most beautiful film in the world that would team up on Superman and Batman, who would be an undeniable plain plastage that also echoes the trajectory of the Dceu Post-Man of Steel.

It is unlikely that Gunn and Peter Safran would be explosive after one tripping, but the next two years will require careful balance as they make bold creative choices with less known characters such as Booster Gold and Swamp Thing, while offering some safe blows.

Superman is the Tornasole map for himself the public is ready to believe again in the DCU. If it works, it will give the new was a solid base. Otherwise, we could look at another reconstruction in real time.

July 11 is coming quickly. Let’s see if the world is ready to believe that a man can fly again.
