Here's some exciting news for all the Potterheads out there. Warner Bros. Discovery&nbsp;is once again planning to explore the wizarding world of Harry Potter, but only if author JK&nbsp;Rowling agrees to do so. 
 
Warner Bros. Discovery&nbsp;CEO David Zaslav recently hinted at the studio's interest in working on more films of the franchise. During a Q3 earnings call, David said, "We’re going to focus on franchises." 
 
''We haven’t had a 'Superman' movie in 13 years. We haven’t done a 'Harry Potter' in 15 years. The DC movies and the 'Harry Potter' movies provided a lot of profits for Warner Bros.... over the past 25 years,'' he said.&nbsp;

Further, the CEO spoke about the future and hit markets of several&nbsp;franchises&nbsp;around the world. He said, "Outside the U.S., most in the aggregate, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, have 40% of the theatres that we have here in the U.S., and there is local content. And so when you have a franchise movie, you can often make two to three times the amount of money that you make in the U.S. because you get a slot.'' 
 
During his interaction, David added further, "And a focus on the big movies that are loved, that are tentpoles, that people are going to leave early from dinner to go see—— and we have a lot of them." Batman, Superman, Aquaman, if we can do something with JK on Harry Potter going forward, Lord of the Rings, what are we doing with Game of Thrones? What are we doing with a lot of the big franchises that we have? "We're focused on franchises."

David's comments come at a time when&nbsp;Rowling has been facing a severe backlash over her transphobic comments. It also raises a&nbsp;question of whether the original star cast of the film will agree to come on board, as most of them, including the lead stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, have&nbsp;slammed the author for her remarks. 
 
Warner Bros. backed all eight 'Harry Potter' films from 2001–2011 and earned a whopping $7.7 billion globally. After wrapping up the first film, the studio again brought Rowling on board for the Fantastic Beasts franchise. "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore," was the recent film of the fantasy world, which was released this year in April and grossed around $405.1 million worldwide, according to THR.

Twitter took down a video from US President Donald Trump's account after Warner Bros. complained of copyright infringement. The video featured&nbsp;the president with a piece of music composer Hans Zimmer's score from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ playing in the background.

Warner Bros. and its parent company WarnerMedia had earlier issued a statement:&nbsp;"The use of Warner Bros' score from The Dark Knight Rises in the campaign video was unauthorized. We are working through the appropriate legal channels to have it removed.”

In the video, you could&nbsp;see Trump meeting with foreign dignitaries such as North Korea's King Jong Un and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, along with former US President Barack Obama, Amy Schumer and Rose O'Donnell.&nbsp;

The video was captioned, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you, then they call you racist."&nbsp;

For those uninitiated, Hans Zimmer has for long collaborated with director Christopher Nolan. He composed the score of all three of Nolan's Batman films. He even won a Grammy in 2009 for Best Score Soundtrack for ‘The Dark Knight’ and was nominated for the same award four years later with ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.&nbsp;

Warner Bros Chairman and Chief Executive Kevin Tsujihara has resigned from one of Hollywood`s most powerful studios following a report that he improperly helped an actress obtain roles at the studio. 
 
"It is in the best interest of WarnerMedia, Warner Bros, our employees and our partners for Kevin to step down as Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros," WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey said in a statement on Monday.&nbsp; 
 
Tsujihara`s departure from the AT&amp;T Inc-owned studio follows a March 6 report in the Hollywood Reporter that an actress had sought his help in landing roles after they had sex. The report included text messages between Tsujihara and the actress.&nbsp; 
 
Tsujihara`s attorney said at the time that the executive did not have a direct role in the hiring of the actress in any movie. Tsujihara did not address the matter in an email to employees on Monday, seen by Reuters.&nbsp; 
 
"It has become clear that my continued leadership could be a distraction and an obstacle to the company’s continued success," he said in the email. "The hard work of everyone within our organization is truly admirable, and I won’t let media attention on my past detract from all the great work the team is doing."&nbsp; 
 
Stankey said the company will continue to work with an outside law firm to complete its investigation into the matter.&nbsp;
