James Gunn’s DC Exit: More Behind-the-Scenes Details Emerge

Movie fans are still recovering from Monday’s bombshell that James Gunn and Peter Safran are out at DC Studios. The move came as their latest film, Clayface, does well at the box office; another, The Batman Part II, fights production delays to get into theaters ASAP; and their overarching story is set to continue with next year’s Man of Tomorrow.

What Gunn and Safran didn’t foresee when all that began to percolate was Skydance. The company, which had already acquired Paramount in 2025, acquired Warner Bros. in 2026, and its CEO David Ellison came in with a new vision. Originally, it seemed as if Gunn and Safran were part of that vision. But since the news broke, several different versions of the story have emerged that say otherwise.

As one would expect, the Hollywood trades were all over the DC exit, speaking to sources across the industry. The Hollywood Reporter’s story claims that Gunn and Safran, who were originally announced as being part of the new Warner Bros. team, were told last Friday, November 6, that plans had changed. The Wrap talked to some sources who backed up that version of the story, as well as others who claimed the move happened over the weekend. Basically, whatever the actual case is, it seems very likely the ousting happened rather fast for Gunn and Safran.

The pair are being replaced by Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel Studios executive. And, according to reports, Latcham may have been aware of this well before Gunn and Safran.
