DC Studios shakeup: James Gunn and Peter Safran exit as Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham takes over

James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-chief executives of DC Studios after four years, with Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham taking over as president and chief creative officer. The change, effective 1 December, follows the Skydance-Paramount merger and marks a shift in leadership for the studio’s next phase.

Gunn and Safran’s projects will continue to reach audiences during the transition: Gunn is completing *Man of Tomorrow*, and *The Batman Part II* is also among upcoming releases. Their tenure included *Superman*, which grossed US$618.7 million worldwide, and *Clayface*, which has taken US$109 million so far; *Supergirl* was a setback. Gunn and Safran said they want to return to writing and directing.
