Once known for the grim corridors of Hogwarts and the skies of the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros. is currently in a transitional renaissance. Under the leadership of Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, the studio is pivoting from franchise-mania to filmmaker-driven prestige. Popular productions emerging from the Burbank lot include the mind-bending sequel Dune: Part Two, which redefined sci-fi spectacle, and the whimsical Wonka, which breathed new life into a dormant IP.
