James Gunn and Peter Safran No Longer in Charge of DC Studios

James Gunn and Peter Safran have left their roles leading DC Studios, according to a report cited in the article. Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham is set to take charge, while Gunn and Safran are expected to remain involved with some projects. The change could reshape DC’s plans for a connected universe of films and television.

Gunn said he found the corporate demands of running a studio difficult and was relieved to return to filmmaking. He is still working on the Superman sequel *Man of Tomorrow*, due next summer, and said he is writing another DC project; the future of that work is uncertain. The article links the leadership change to the commercial and creative performance of *Supergirl*, but says the effects on upcoming projects, including *The People vs. Gorilla Grodd*, are not yet clear.
