Skyler Gisondo said he was saddened by James Gunn and Peter Safran’s planned departure as co-CEOs of DC Studios, effective 1 December, and thanked them for the opportunities they had given him. The actor, who played Jimmy Olsen in Gunn’s Superman, said he hoped to keep working with them, while acknowledging that he did not yet know what the leadership change would mean.

Both projects are in post-production. Former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham is set to become DC Studios’ president and chief creative officer after Gunn and Safran leave; Gunn is also writing a third Superman film.
