Inside David Ellison’s ouster of DC Studios’ dynamic duo – and their successor’s fascinating origin story

Jeremy Latcham is set to replace James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-chair of DC Studios, after negotiating the role with Skydance while the company publicly said the pair would stay. The change matters because DC is again looking for new leadership after mixed box-office results, while Gunn remains involved in the next Superman film.

Latcham previously worked at Marvel from 2004 to 2017 and began his career in Endeavor’s mailroom. Sources quoted in the article praise his judgement and commercial instincts; recent interviews have also highlighted his Christian faith and family life. DC released three films under Gunn and Safran, with “Supergirl” reportedly losing $135 million, while Gunn is in post-production on 2027’s “Man of Tomorrow”.
