HBO's Casey Bloys Addresses Superhero Fatigue, Fake Twitter Accounts, and Content Budgets

TL;DR Summary
HBO and Max Content CEO Casey Bloys believes that the decline in audience interest in superhero movies is not due to fatigue but rather a lack of diversity in storytelling. Bloys emphasized the importance of telling different stories in different styles, highlighting the tonal differences between shows like "Peacemaker" and "The Penguin." He also mentioned the advantage of having a variety of stories at Warner Bros. compared to Marvel's more uniform storytelling approach. Bloys revealed that HBO's programming slate includes not only DC superhero shows but also spinoffs from Warner Bros. films like "It" and "Dune," as well as a "Crazy Rich Asians" spinoff.
