We believe in this figure’s power, part of our ancestral heritage, that has everything to captivate the audience around the globe in the same way as the Greek, Roman, Persians or Scandinavian gods, since they are all part of our imaginary,” Saldanha said in a statement.“We from Warner Bros. Pictures, have been launching superhero movies for a decade.
This time we will take to cinema screens a deity adored by the Brazilians and that turns the movie into a celebration itself, from a culture and faith that many people share. We will use our know-how and expertise to make this project a success,” said Hernán Viviano, vice-president of Warner Bros.
