Supergirl Producer Says David Ellison Is a ‘Big Fan’ of DC Studios As Paramount and Warner Bros Merger Looms
David Ellison, CEO of Paramount’s Skydance division, has demonstrated significant interest in DC Studios’ upcoming projects, according to Supergirl producer Lars P. Winther. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Winther revealed that Ellison has already visited the set of “Man of Tomorrow,” the highly anticipated Superman sequel directed by James Gunn. The production, which has been filming for approximately two months at Trilith Studios, is confirmed to feature Supergirl in its cast. Winther described Ellison as a “big fan” of DC Studios’ direction, suggesting positive corporate interest in the studio’s creative output. This development occurs amid ongoing industry speculation about a potential merger between Paramount and Warner Bros, which could significantly reshape the entertainment landscape and studio relationships. Ellison’s hands-on involvement and enthusiasm for DC Studios’ projects may signal corporate confidence in the Superman sequel and the broader DC Studios slate under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership.
