James Gunn Speaks Out After Stepping Down at DC, Says It Had ‘Highest of Highs’ but ‘Has Been Trying’: ‘I Dislike the At-Times Corporate Nature of the Job’

According to Variety, James Gunn has spoken out after he and Peter Safran were replaced as the heads of DC Studios. In a surprising move on Monday, Skydance replaced Gunn and Safran with Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham as the president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. This ends Gunn and Safran’s four-year run as the heads of DC Studios, where they rebooted the superhero universe with projects such as “Superman,” “Supergirl,” “Clayface” and the HBO series “Lanterns.” Reflecting on his tenure, Gunn noted that while the role had its highest of highs, it had been trying, adding: “I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job.”
