New DC boss said one of his “guiding lights” is a single question: would my grandma like the movie?

Jeremy Latcham, who is set to lead DC Studios at Skydance, has described a simple test he used while producing Marvel films: would his grandmother enjoy the movie? He said the question helped judge whether a story would connect with people beyond Hollywood, making his appointment notable given his experience shaping major Marvel releases.

Latcham produced films including *The Avengers* and *Spider-Man: Homecoming* and worked closely with Marvel chief Kevin Feige. He has said the aim was to stay true to fans while making adaptations accessible to everyone, recalling that his grandparents in Oklahoma became a running reference in the editing room. He takes over from co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran; Gunn said he was relieved to return to filmmaking and disliked aspects of the job’s corporate demands.
