Jeremy Latcham Replaces James Gunn and Peter Safran at DC Studios

James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-CEOs of DC Studios on Dec. 1. Skydance has put former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham in charge of the DCU.

This is a quick-reaction Headlines on the biggest DC shakeup since Gunn and Safran took over in 2022. Skydance now owns DC through its Warner Bros. Discovery merger and named Latcham, a Marvel Studios veteran who worked on Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, president and chief creative officer. Gunn and Safran stay on as producers, with Man of Tomorrow still in the works, but the long-term DCU plan and the Batman films are up in the air. I share my first reaction and what I'll be watching for next.
