Gunn will be personally involved in its development.
The Big Picture Warner Bros. Discovery has announced ambitious plans to expand its Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, its UK based television and film studio, which will see the facility grow by an additional 400,000 square feet of production & support space and an additional 10 stages. This will expand the available number of soundstages by 50%, from 19 to 29.
This development is particularly thrilling for James Gunn and Peter Safran, the creative minds behind DC Studios, as Leavesden is set to become their primary production hub. They are expected to provide valuable input on the design and features of the new facilities. Collaboratively developed with input from Three Rivers District Council and Watford Borough Council, this expansion endeavour is poised to generate 4,000 job opportunities across the United Kingdom.
“Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden is globally-recognised for its exceptional soundstages and facilities, and with this planned expansion adding significant capacity and capabilities, it will be home to even more incredible storytelling for both film and television projects,” said WBD chief operating officer Simon Robinson in a statement.
The World of Harry Potter Leavesden also serves as the home of the "Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter", which houses a permanent exhibition of sets, props and costumes which were used in the making of the Harry Potter series, and includes a full replica of the Great Hall as well as the Forbidden Forest, Gringotts Wizarding Banks, Platform 9¾ and the Hogwarts Express, Professor Sprout's Greenhouse, and Privet Drive.
Recent WBD films and TV shows to shoot at the location include Barbie, House of the Dragon and upcoming DC feature Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The sets are not exclusive to Warner Bros., and any film can make use of them regardless of ties to Warner Bros. including the likes of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Fast X and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
