On a recent earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav waxed lyrical about the ongoing success of Hogwarts Legacy, before going on to discuss this in the context of James Gunn's upcoming Superman film. The movie, Superman Legacy, has rather brutally dumped everyone's favourite super-geek Henry Cavill and is intended as a reboot of the character.
The point Zaslav's making is that games are now as big if not bigger than the more traditional movie avenues for the likes of Harry Potter. "The real differentiator for us as a company is that we own our IP," said Zaslav (thanks, Tweaktown). "We may be the only media company that owns, whether it be the DC universe, Harry Potter, all the content that we own, Game of Thrones, that's for us to deploy. I think that's particularly important strategically."
