DC Management Shakeup: James Gunn and Peter Safran Depart
According to a report by Variety on November 9, 2026, in a surprise executive shuffle, James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-presidents of DC Studios. Jeremy Latcham will replace them as president and chief creative officer. The exit of Gunn and Safran is unexpected as they were part of David Ellison's leadership team following Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery in October. After four years at the helm of DC, Gunn and Safran will return to full-time creative work.
