Talking to THR, Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich has said that the studio has “turned a corner” when it comes to the DC shared universe thanks to Aquaman’s success.
“We all feel like we’ve turned a corner now. We’re playing by the DC playbook, which is very different than the Marvel playbook. We are far less focused on a shared universe. We take it one movie at a time.” He added that each film is “its own equation and own creative entity.”
Aquaman released in December of last year and made $1 billion at the global box office, making it the first DC film to hit the milestones since The Dark Knight Rises.
