Overview
- Skydance announced on Monday that James Gunn and Peter Safran will step down as co‑CEOs of DC Studios effective December 1 and that Jeremy Latcham will become president and chief creative officer.
- Latcham will run DC’s film, television and animation slate and report to Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein of Skydance Motion Picture Group, replacing the previous reporting line under the Warner‑era leadership.
- Gunn and Safran will remain creatively attached to select projects in production or post‑production, including Gunn’s Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow and the TV spinoff The People v. Gorilla Grodd, and will return to full‑time creative work.
- The change follows Skydance’s October purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery and comes after a mixed run for Gunn and Safran that included a box‑office hit with Superman, an underperforming Supergirl, and modest returns for Clayface.
- Industry observers say the move signals a likely strategic reset for the DCU and that the next steps to clarify which elements of the prior decade‑long plan will be retained or overhauled will be a key story to watch.
