James Gunn and Peter Safran exit DC Studios leadership; Jeremy Latcham takes over
Latcham will become president and chief creative officer, while Gunn and Safran continue their current projects, including Man of Tomorrow.
Jeremy Latcham will lead DC Studios as president and chief creative officer following the departure of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs and chairmen. The leadership change comes under the studio’s new Skydance ownership, four years after Gunn and Safran took their posts.
Deadline reported that Gunn and Safran will remain involved in their existing projects while returning to creative work full time. Those projects include Man of Tomorrow, a follow-up to 2025’s Superman.
In a joint statement, the departing executives said their goal had been to bring DC together around a shared creative direction. They pointed to Superman and productions including Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface, and said they looked forward to continuing Clark and Lex’s story.
Latcham previously served as Marvel’s SVP of Production and Development. Gunn and Safran said their creative relationship with him dated to Marvel. Skydance chairman and CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz thanked the outgoing leaders and expressed confidence that they would help make the handover collaborative.
