James Gunn And Peter Safran Fire At DC Studios As Jeremy Latcham Takes Over

In a surprise executive shuffle, James Gunn and Peter Safran have been fired from their roles as co-CEOs of DC Studios. They will be replaced by former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham, who has been appointed president and chief creative officer starting on December 1. The duo stepped down after four years in charge following Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros., though they remain involved creatively with upcoming projects like the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. Gunn acknowledged that being an executive was difficult due to corporate pressures, while Safran noted he often took the brunt of such conflicts. Latcham will oversee all film, television, and animation slates under Skydance Motion Picture Group co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.
