James Gunn and Peter Safran are out as co-heads of DC Studios after four years.
The shake-up follows Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham, whose credits include Iron Man, The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, will take over as president and chief creative officer on December 1st.
Gunn and Safran helped reboot DC’s superhero franchise with last year’s Superman, which earned more than $618 million worldwide. However, this summer’s Supergirl disappointed with just $126 million.
Gunn and Safran will return to filmmaking, with Gunn continuing work on the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow. (Variety)
