James Gunn and Peter Safran have stepped down as co-presidents of DC Studios. Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham will replace them. Latcham worked on Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers films.
Gunn and Safran led DC Studios for four years and oversaw film and television projects including Superman, Supergirl, Clayface, Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and Lanterns. In a statement, they said they shared a creative history with Latcham from their time at Marvel and called him eager to bring a new perspective to DC's next chapter. They also noted plans to return to storytelling projects they love, including the next Superman film Man of Tomorrow.
Gunn had previously discussed expanding DC's storytelling across platforms, including video games. He said in 2025 that DC had games in development and was planning bigger projects. Those ambitions never materialized. Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery was approved earlier this year, which led to a merger between Warner Bros. Interactive and Paramount Games Studio.
Upcoming DC projects include the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow and the television series The People v. Gorilla Grodd, which will feature Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen. Rocksteady is rumored to be developing a new single-player Batman game.
