Following James Gunn and Peter Safran's departure from DC Studios, new head Jeremy Latcham may adjust the project strategy to prioritize more mainstream superheroes. Sources indicate that the studio will accelerate bringing core Justice League characters to the big screen, although it remains uncertain whether there will be a full reboot of the DC Universe.
Sources report that Skydance CEO David Ellison has urged Latcham to assemble the Justice League on the big screen as soon as possible. Projects featuring The Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, and other well-known characters are expected to receive higher priority, while characters like Clayface, Booster Gold, and Peacemaker may take a backseat. Supergirl is also not considered a top priority under the new strategy.
This direction contrasts with Gunn's preference for developing lesser-known characters. However, Gunn had previously stated that Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman would be central to the DC Universe. The difference between the two strategies may lie primarily in the pace of development, with the new management aiming to launch projects for these core characters more quickly. Latcham is also not expected to engage with fans directly via social media as frequently as Gunn did.
The current DCU has only recently launched, and its various projects have not yet fully converged into a unified narrative. With the role of Superman recently recast from Henry Cavill to David Corenswet, further casting changes could put reputational pressure on the studio. At present, specific project priorities, casting decisions, and plans for a universe reboot have not been officially announced by DC Studios.
