James Gunn and Peter Safran to leave DC Studios leadership

Latcham is due to take over on December 1 and will report to Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, co-chairs of Skydance Motion Picture Group. The leadership change follows the completion of the Paramount-Warner Bros. megamerger, which created the combined Skydance company led by CEO David Ellison.

Gunn and Safran took charge of DC Studios in 2022. They are expected to continue producing various projects for the studio and are still working on Man of Tomorrow, according to Deadline. Gunn also said in an Instagram post that he and Safran had “just been engaged on another DC project which I’m writing.”

Gunn described his time at the studio as “trying, to say the least,” and said he disliked “the at-times corporate nature of the job.” He added that Safran had taken the brunt of that work.
