Comic book movie maker James Gunn has shared a letter with fans after DC Studios announced he and Peter Safran would be stepping down as co-chairmen of DC Studios.
'Shock' maybe doesn't do a good enough job of describing how DC movie watchers feel after the sudden shakeup was announced just moments ago. Although Gunn and Safran will remain creatively involved in at least some near-term projects, the plan is to see them vacate their positions starting December 1, leaving the future of the DCU slate uncertain as former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham fills the role.
Gunn took to Threads to share thoughts on the matter in a lengthy statement. After four years in one of the most high-profile gigs in film and his role seemingly unaffected in the wake of the Paramount-Warner Bros. Skydance merger last month, it's safe to say no one was expecting to see him leave. But for Gunn, it was a long time coming.
"Oh, boy. What a four years," he began. "Thanks to all of you who have supported me and Peter in our time as the heads of DC Studios. When I was a kid growing up in Manchester, Missouri, I used to write and draw my own comics with a mix of DC Comics characters and my own characters. Having full access to these characters to do whatever we wanted has been a dream come true. I didn't know if I wanted this job when it was offered to me, but I just couldn't pass up the unique opportunity.
