Another Shake-up at DC Studios: Gunn and Safran Out as Skydance Appoints Marvel Vet Latchman
Former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham takes charge after Supergirl earned $126 million globally, a performance industry analysts identified as a factor in the leadership transition.
- On Monday, DC Studios co-presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran announced they are stepping down effective December 1, 2026, with Skydance Motion Picture Group appointing former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham as the new president and chief creative officer.
- The leadership change follows Skydance's $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery in October, with CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz praising Gunn and Safran for launching a new era for DC Studios.
- During their four-year tenure, the duo rebooted the DC Universe with the $618 million-grossing Superman, though Supergirl struggled with $126.4 million, while the modestly budgeted Clayface thriller earned $109 million on a $44 million budget.
- Gunn and Safran will return to full-time creative work, including post-production on the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, while Latcham will oversee the creative pipeline, production, talent, and strategy.
- Latcham will report to Skydance Motion Picture Group co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, stating, "The chance to steward the incredible cast of DC characters is a massive responsibility that I do not take lightly.
