James Gunn and Peter Safran to Step Down at DC Studios on Dec. 1, With Marvel Veteran Jeremy Latcham Taking Over
James Gunn and Peter Safran will step down as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios effective December 1, in the studio's biggest leadership change in four years, according to reports on November 9 by The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Deadline and other trade outlets. Jeremy Latcham, a veteran producer and former Marvel Studios executive, has been named president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.
Gunn and Safran took over the newly formed DC Studios in November 2022 and announced a decade-long DC Universe plan. Skydance, which acquired Warner Bros. Discovery, said the pair will return full time to creative work, including post-production on Man of Tomorrow, the follow-up to Superman, and producing work on other DC projects. Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz said in a statement that Gunn and Safran launched a new era for DC Studios and led it through a period of real transformation. Gunn and Safran said that four years ago they set out to unite DC under one creative vision.
Latcham will lead DC's film, television and animation slate, overseeing the creative pipeline along with production, talent and strategy. He will report to Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, co-chairs of the Skydance Motion Picture Group. Latcham previously worked with Gunn on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy at Marvel Studios, with credits also including Avengers and Spider-Man films. Skydance has not said whether Latcham will keep the existing DC slate intact.
