## Summary

James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving their leadership roles at DC Studios on 1 December, during Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. The change puts Jeremy Latcham, a former senior Marvel producer, in line to become president and chief creative officer, following a period in which Gunn and Safran led a revival of DC’s film and television output.

Gunn and Safran will retain creative control of projects already in post-production, including the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow and The People v. Gorilla Grodd; Gunn will also remain a producer on The Batman: Part II. The companies’ leaders praised the pair’s work and said they expected a collaborative transition. Gunn later described the job as difficult and said its corporate demands had taken time from his filmmaking and family life; the article says it is unclear whether the departure was mutual or management-led.
