THR reports that the franchise's first solo-character spinoff is scheduled for a June 8, 2018 release and that an animated film is also in the works. No plot or cast has yet been announced, just the screenwriter: Christina Hodson ("Shut In"), who's also writing a Harley Quinn-centered movie for the DC universe.
Since Knight is also CEO of the Portland, OR-based Laika Entertainment, Kit pondered what this job announcement means for Laika's future.
What does it mean to an animation studio when its head is going off to make a movie for another studio?
