## Key points

- Gunn and Safran are reportedly leaving DC Studios.
- More than half of Gunn’s 10 planned projects stalled or were cancelled.
- The change raises fresh doubts about DC’s continuity and direction.

## Summary

James Gunn and Peter Safran are reportedly leaving their roles leading DC Studios, barely a month after Paramount Skydance completed its Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. The leadership change puts Gunn’s plans for DC’s film and television universe in doubt, renewing questions about whether the franchise can achieve a stable direction after years of strategic shifts.

The article says DC was already struggling after clashing visions for Justice League and a run of box-office disappointments. Gunn’s Superman reboot was seen as a promising start, but criticism focused on his interest in lesser-known characters and uncertainty over which earlier projects counted as canon. His “Chapter One” plan included 10 film and television projects; more than half had reportedly been cancelled or stalled in development when the shake-up was announced.
