Overview
- Skydance confirmed this week that James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down and that Jeremy Latcham will become president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.
- Henry Cavill told Inverse he would “never say never” about returning as Superman but did not announce any talks or deals and his comments do not confirm a comeback.
- David Corenswet remains the studio’s Superman and is scheduled to star in Man of Tomorrow, which Gunn directed and that the studio has set for release on July 9, 2027.
- Industry outlets have published unverified claims that studio executives might shelve Superman films for years if Cavill declines, a report that has not been confirmed by Skydance or Paramount.
- Cavill’s busy slate of projects and the new leadership’s yet-to-be-stated plan mean the near-term impact will hinge on Latcham’s decisions and how Man of Tomorrow performs at the box office.
