Sony Pictures Television chair Keith Le Goy is looking to anime and video games as the next major bastions of IP-driven screen content, he said at Mipcom on Monday.

Speaking with Variety co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton, Le Goy cited anime and video games as particular areas of interest for Sony. “One of the things that I think is increasingly becoming clear, which is that if some of the IP that drove entertainment in the last twenty to twenty-five years was U.S. comic book IP — Marvel, DC, they’re not going away, but they don’t necessarily have the absolute pole position prominence that they had before — what is going to drive the next wave of IP is anime and is video games,” he told the audience of TV executives in Cannes.
