Warner Bros. in Talks to License DC Rides to Universal

by

According to Bloomberg, Warner Bros. Discovery is considering a big move for its DC characters. They’re currently discussing a deal to allow Universal theme parks, owned by Comcast, to create rides based on DC superheroes.

This could mean characters like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman might appear in new experiences and attractions outside of Six Flags parks for the first time in many years.

This confirms what our sources have been saying about Saudi Arabia’s plans to invest in entertainment, including bringing back the SnyderVerse.

Here’s a key point: if this agreement is finalized before Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is sold, it will automatically transfer to the new owner of WBD. This is because the buyer will take over all existing contracts and licensing deals.

According to recent reports, Netflix and Paramount are the most likely companies to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). With Comcast apparently no longer interested, WBD might be finalizing an agreement with Universal before any potential sale happens.

DC Heads to Universal? The Bloomberg Report

Bloomberg reports that Warner Bros. Discovery is discussing a deal with Universal to allow them to use DC characters in new theme park attractions.

Universal is already a major theme park company, and incorporating DC Comics would add another incredibly popular franchise to its lineup, joining hits like Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, and its classic monster properties.

I’ve been watching Warner Bros. Discovery closely, and this feels like a pivotal moment. It seems they’re really focused on getting the company in shape – streamlining things, paying down debt, and boosting profits. Honestly, it looks like they might even be preparing for a possible sale, which explains the urgency.

How This Fits Insider Info About Saudi Deals

Sources tell us Hollywood studios, including those with connections to Donald Trump and Jared Kushner, are making significant new deals with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is looking to acquire popular movie franchises and valuable entertainment properties as part of its ambitious Vision 2030 plan to modernize the country.

Saudi Arabia is looking to attract major theme park brands and intellectual properties. They’re aiming for globally recognized names and immersive experiences – complete worlds for visitors to explore.

The Saudi Plan: A Universal + Warner Mega-Park

We’ve learned the kingdom is planning to create a huge theme park that combines the best of Universal and Warner Bros. Imagine DC Comics, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, classic Universal Monsters, and The Lord of the Rings all in one place – that’s the idea!

Saudi Arabia is aiming to create a theme park destination comparable to Disney, and a combination of Warner Bros. and Universal studios would be a perfect fit to achieve that goal.

What Comes Next

If Warner Bros. Discovery decides to proceed with this plan, popular DC characters and attractions could appear in Universal theme parks around the globe. This would represent a significant change in how Warner Bros. manages its theme park licenses, and suggests a larger overall change in strategy while discussions about a potential acquisition are ongoing.

If Saudi Arabia gains control of Warner Bros. Discovery through a deal with either Paramount or Comcast, it would likely trigger an unprecedented power shift and massive restructuring within the entertainment industry.
