Latcham to Lead DC Studios as Gunn, Safran Exit

James Gunn and Peter Safran are expected to leave their DC Studios co-CEO roles on Dec. 1, with former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham set to replace them as president and chief creative officer. Reports say Skydance executives changed their plans amid tensions over control of DC’s film slate and complaints that Gunn and Safran shared plans and footage too slowly. Skydance is reportedly considering a different direction for DC, potentially prioritizing the Justice League, and much of the existing slate could be dropped; those plans have not been officially confirmed. Man of Tomorrow, scheduled for 2027, is expected to proceed, but the fate of other projects remains uncertain. Gunn has said he hopes to return to filmmaking.
