Skydance Names Jeremy Latcham to Lead DC Studios

Skydance has appointed former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham to lead DC Studios, replacing co-leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are stepping down after four years. Latcham will become president and chief creative officer on December 1, overseeing the studio’s film, television and animation slate. He will report to Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, co-chairs of Skydance Motion Picture Group.

Skydance chairman and chief executive David Ellison said Gunn and Safran had launched a new era for DC Studios and built a slate the company was proud of. The announcement did not specify why they are leaving. Their departure from the executive roles does not mean they are ending all work with DC: both are expected to return to creative work, and Gunn is directing the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow.

In a joint statement, Gunn and Safran said they were eager to return to telling stories, including the next chapter of Clark and Lex’s journey in Man of Tomorrow. Gunn also described his four years in the corporate role as trying and said he was looking forward to focusing on creative work. The film is scheduled for release on July 9, 2027.
