Skydance announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran will step down as co-presidents of DC Studios on December 1, with producer Jeremy Latcham taking over their responsibilities. After stepping down, they will remain on set to complete post-production for Tomorrow's Son, scheduled for release in 2027.
There are conflicting reports regarding when the two were informed of the leadership change. The Hollywood Reporter stated that Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz made a surprise visit on November 6 to inform them they would be replaced, giving approximately four days' notice; TheWrap, citing three sources, reported that the pair received less than 24 hours' notice before the announcement.
Skydance had been discussing the relevant positions with Latcham since early autumn. Latcham previously worked at Marvel Studios and has collaborated with the current managers of Skydance Motion Pictures Group. This adjustment involves integrating the group's film production system, while the new management hopes to quickly bring the Justice League back to the big screen. However, there are currently no clear plans for core heroes such as Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman.

Box office performance was also a factor behind the leadership change. In 2025, Superman grossed $618 million worldwide, ranking tenth globally for the year; Supergirl was described as a commercial failure, while Clayface achieved only modest success. Currently, aside from the management transition and the ongoing production of Tomorrow's Son, DC has not officially announced its future direction.
