‘Superman’ is going to be incredible next year and we have so many things planned on the U.S. network side to support it and to ride the superhero wave. So that I am really excited about because I think that’s one of the things that our company does better than anybody; we all lean in. And when it’s something like a ‘Harry Potter’ or a ‘Barbie’ or a ‘Superman,’ there are so many touch points for so many different people, men, women, children. Everybody loves it, and everybody can come to it from a different angle, different stage of life. So the fact that we’ll be able to celebrate it in different ways across the U.S. networks is going to be really fun. We have a lot of very cool ideas around Food Network and ‘Shark Wee'” and all kinds of things. So that’s something I’m very excited to see next summer launch.
Are you going to bring James Gunn onto HGTV to make the Fortress of Solitude?
No, you know what we want? We’ve already said we want James Gunn to do — and I was able to ask him this in a public forum — he’s a huge animal advocate, and we want to use him for the ‘Puppy Bowl.’ The good news is, we’ll probably get him to adopt about 12 more puppies, and then everybody wins.
