Skydance just gave DC Studios a pre-earnings leadership shake-up.
James Gunn and Peter Safran, who co-led DC Studios, are leaving their positions after four years, Skydance announced on Monday ahead of its third-quarter earnings report.
Jeremy Latcham, who helped found the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will be DC Studios’ new president and creative chief, starting in December. Latcham helped develop hit movies like “The Avengers,” “Iron Man,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Gunn and Safran were hired by Warner Bros. in October 2022 to reboot DC’s franchises, which for years struggled to match the commercial success of Disney-owned Marvel.
The producers will return to creative work, Skydance said in its release.
Skydance unveiled its leadership teams to staffers in a late October email, weeks after Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merged. At the time, the companywide message didn’t include a DC Studios org chart.
