Skydance Installs New DC Boss as James Gunn and Peter Safran Exit

The leadership change signals a fresh review of DC’s film slate and raises questions about the fate of the next Superman movie.

Overview

  • Skydance has removed James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios and is installing Jeremy Latcham as president and chief creative officer effective December 1.
  • Gunn said he will return to creative work and remains attached to direct Man of Tomorrow while Safran is listed as a producer on the film.
  • Henry Cavill told reporters he would “never say never” about returning as Superman but made no commitment and has multiple projects that could affect his availability.
  • Multiple industry reports say Skydance executives are worried about Man of Tomorrow’s current form and are exploring major edits or alternate release plans, a set of claims that outside outlets describe as unverified or speculative.
  • David Corenswet is still set to star in Man of Tomorrow but his longer-term role as Superman is uncertain as new leadership weighs whether to keep, rework, or pause Gunn-era projects and casting.
