While Hollywood executives used to stay behind the scenes, it’s now common for modern executives to be the face of their respective franchises. We even have terms like Zaslaved, meaning to save a buck by canceling a movie’s release, and the Snyderverse, in reference to the DC universe movies overseen by Zack Snyder.

Since 2012, one woman has been the face of Lucasfilm, ushering Star Wars through the highs and lows of the Disney ownership era. Now, after almost 50 years in the business, she’s retiring. But what does this mean for Star Wars, and who could fill her shoes?

Meaning “to fly” in Maori, Hoka was founded in 2009 so that anyone spending long hours on their feet could get the ultimate experience with optimum cushioning and stability. Less than 15 years after its founding, Hoka is bringing in revenues topping a billion dollars a year, so it’s clear that people are loving this brand. But with quality comes high prices, and Hoka is no doubt in the high end price-wise. Thanks to Brad's Deals, we found the best prices on Hoka.

From the outside looking in, there doesn’t seem to be a cohesive plan binding the new DC Universe together. In truth, though, James Gunn and Peter Safran know exactly what they’re doing — it may just take a bit of time for us to see the big picture.

DC’s creative co-chairs recently teased a bit of their upcoming plans with The Hollywood Reporter. While the duo admitted that a bit of their upcoming slate has been constructed on the fly — usually in response to a great script — their franchise reboot is maturing exactly as planned. “We’ve unified the brand, we’ve greenlit five theatrical films, made three live-action series, and are producing five animated series,” Safran told THR.

While Superman and Lanterns have long been guiding lights for the new DCU, Gunn and Safran have adjusted other aspects of the new slate as needed. Previously announced projects like Waller, Booster Gold, and The Authority are currently in limbo, while others are now on the fast track. DC’s approach to worldbuilding stands in stark contrast to its competitors at Marvel, who (until recently) planned the franchise out in careful, year-spanning phases.

Whether DC’s new strategy will pay off remains to be seen — but there’s at least one promising pattern emerging from Gunn and Safran’s strategy, and it could put Marvel to shame in one crucial way.
