- DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving their roles next month after four years.
- Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham will be DC Studios' new president and creative chief.
- Skydance has installed new leaders after completing the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.
Skydance just gave DC Studios a pre-earnings leadership shake-up.
James Gunn and Peter Safran, who co-led DC Studios, are leaving their positions after four years, Skydance announced on Monday ahead of its third-quarter earnings report.
Jeremy Latcham, who helped found the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will be DC Studios' new president and creative chief, starting in December. Latcham helped develop hit movies like "The Avengers," "Iron Man," and "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Latcham will report to Skydance film co-chiefs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.
Gunn and Safran were hired by Warner Bros. in October 2022 to reboot DC's franchises, which for years struggled to match the commercial success of Disney-owned Marvel.
The producers will return to creative work, Skydance said in its release.
Safran and Gunn aren't entirely done with DC. Their Superman sequel "Man of Tomorrow" is slated to come out next July, and they're working on another DC project, Gunn confirmed on Monday.
Gunn said in an Instagram post on Monday afternoon that he was "incredibly relieved and excited to get back to pure filmmaking."
"I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job," Gunn said in his post.
Under Gunn and Safran, DC Studios had solid commercial successes like "Superman" in July 2025, as well as major misses like "Supergirl" in June.
Skydance unveiled its leadership teams to staffers in a late October email, weeks after Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merged. At the time, the companywide message didn't include a DC Studios org chart.
