Walter Hamada has officially stepped down as the head of DC Films at Warner Bros. Discovery.
Hamada exits the studio after having worked at Warners for over fifteen years, and served as the President of DC Films for four years.
He marks the fifth Warner Bros. studio executive to leave since President and CEO David Zaslav combined Discovery Inc. with WarnerMedia earlier this year.
Zaslav had been open about a desire to bring in another Kevin Feige-style executive to run DC. Hamada did oversee numerous successful films and franchises in his time at Warners including “The Batman,” the first “IT,” and the “The Conjuring” and “Final Destination” films.
Hamada is expected to move on to another position as a producer or executive. He was reportedly offered another producing deal, but turned it down and criticised WBD’s decision to scrap “Batgirl”.
Current Warner Bros. heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy will steer the ship at DC until a more permanent replacement is found.
