DC Studios Leadership Shake-Up as Jeremy Latcham Replaces James Gunn and Peter Safran
LOS ANGELES, Nov 10 — DC Studios is heading into a new phase after Skydance Motion Picture Group announced that Jeremy Latcham has been appointed President and Chief Creative Officer of DC Studios, effective Dec. 1, 2026. The same announcement confirmed that James Gunn and Peter Safran will step away from their leadership roles and return full time to creative work.
In its official statement, Skydance said Gunn and Safran spent the past four years helping to transform DC Studios, rebuild its foundation and shape its current slate of projects. Although they are leaving management, both will remain involved creatively in upcoming DC projects.
Latcham is best known as a veteran of the early Marvel Cinematic Universe. Skydance said he worked on major comic-book adaptations including Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man and The Avengers. At DC Studios, he will oversee the film, television and animation slate, including creative development, production, talent and strategy.
The company also highlighted projects developed under Gunn and Safran, noting that Superman earned more than US$618 million worldwide, while Clayface has passed US$109 million globally. Gunn and Safran are still attached creatively to titles such as Man of Tomorrow, The Batman Part II and several television projects, suggesting continuity in the studio’s pipeline despite the executive reshuffle.
For fans, the key question now is whether Latcham will continue the direction established by Gunn and Safran or reshape DC Studios with a new creative vision. What is confirmed at this stage is that DC’s leadership is changing, but Gunn and Safran are not fully departing from the DC storytelling universe.
