DC Studios co-presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran have officially announced their departure, with Jeremy Latcham, who has experience with Marvel projects, taking over. The current statement does not disclose specific adjustments to DC's transmedia strategy and gaming business.
Latcham has worked on superhero film projects such as "Spider-Man," "Guardians of the Galaxy," and "The Avengers." In their statement, Gunn and Safran said that they began trying to integrate DC with a unified creative vision four years ago, promoting film and television works such as "Superman," "Peacemaker," "Creature Commandos," "Green Lantern," and "Clayface."
The two stated that their collaboration with Latcham dates back to their Marvel days, and they look forward to him bringing a new perspective to DC's next phase. After stepping down from management roles, Gunn and Safran will return to story creation, continuing to participate in the subsequent chapters of Clark and Lex in "Man of Tomorrow."
This personnel change also indirectly affects DC's gaming layout. Gunn previously proposed a transmedia narrative concept, hoping that the same actor would play the same character across different media such as films, television, and games. He revealed in 2025 that small-scale DC games were already in progress, with larger projects in early planning stages, but these more ambitious plans have yet to be realized.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Paramount Games Studio have merged following relevant acquisitions, with rumors also suggesting that Rocksteady is developing a new single-player Batman game. This project has not yet been officially confirmed, and there is no specific news on whether DC's new leadership will change its transmedia and gaming plans.
