MCU Veteran Jeremy Latcham Takes Over DC as Gunn & Safran Exit

James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-CEOs of DC Studios on Dec. 1, with former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham taking over as president and chief creative officer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Skydance appointed Latcham after acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery. His arrival ends Gunn and Safran’s four-year run in charge, though both will stay involved creatively. Latcham joined Marvel Studios in 2004 and rose to senior vice president of production and development. His credits include Iron Man, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Spider-Man: Homecoming. He also worked with Gunn on 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the film that established Gunn as a major blockbuster director. That experience gives DC an incoming leader with a record of helping bring its biggest rival’s characters to the screen. Whether he can deliver similar results at DC remains to be seen. For fans hoping for a promising new direction at DC, Latcham brings reasons for optimism. An unabashed Christian, he helped shape Marvel Studios during its early years and worked on several of the films that built its reputation. @JonasJCampbell Magnificent — Chris Braly (@chrisbraly) November 9, 2026 Gu...
