SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details from the season one finale of She Hulk: Attorney At Law on Disney+.

DEADLINE The season finale followed She Hulk as she walked into the writers room of … She Hulk. Were you actually in that scene?

Ever since Discovery bought and disrupted everything at Warner Bros earlier this year, one of their biggest mandates among many others—that included saving money and scrapping films like “Batgirl” and “The Wonder Twins”—was finding someone to be their equivalent of Marvel’s Kevin Feige; a creative exec who knows how to lead DC Films to similar success. And after a search that took them months and had many names in the mix, including producer Dan Lin, who came close to taking the job, the company has now found someone to lead DC.
