DC Studios shakeup: Multiple executives exit amid reboot

DC Studios has undergone a major leadership change as James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving their roles as co-CEOs and chairmen after four years. Variety reports that Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel executive, has been appointed president and chief creative officer to lead the studio under Skydance.

The move follows the October closing of Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The pair will return to full-time creative work. They are currently in postproduction on the Superman sequel *Man of Tomorrow*, slated for release on July 9, 2027.

Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz praised Gunn and Safran’s contributions and stated they have “complete confidence” that James and Peter will ensure a smooth transition. Gunn, in an Instagram post, expressed relief at returning to “pure filmmaking,” noting he is also writing another DC project. Latcham’s plans for the DCU remain unclear at this time.
