November 10, 2026 James Gunn Stepping Down as DC Studios CEO

James Gunn has broken his silence on Instagram, expressing gratitude for his four years as CEO of DC Studios and stressing that he and Peter Safran are not “done with DC or superheroes.”

Gunn and Safran are out at DC Studios, even though many believed they would be safe amid the Skydance-Paramount merger. According to reports, the pair will stay on to help creatively but will no longer serve as co-CEOs of the studio.

The executives have released only three movies since taking over in 2022: “Superman,” “Supergirl,” and “Clayface.” Several projects remain in the pipeline, including a “Superman” sequel and a television spin-off.
