DC Studios is undergoing a shock shakeup as Peter Safran and James Gunn step down as co-presidents after four years.
Skydance, which is now in charge of DC Studios after acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, has appointed Marvel Studios veteran Jeremy Latcham as the new president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.
The exit comes as a surprise because Safran and Gunn were named as part of Skydance CEO David Ellison’s business leadership team just last month.
After four years as the studio heads, the duo will return to creative work full-time starting December 1. The collaborators reportedly had a decade’s worth of plans in the works, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Four years ago, we set out to unite DC under one creative vision. In that time, we helped restore Superman to the heart of DC, while opening new doors and telling new stories in film and television with Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface,” the duo said in a statement.
“We’re immensely proud of the team that turned that ambition into something real, including the actors, crews and executives we had the opportunity to collaborate with.”
