James Gunn “Incredibly Relieved” to Leave DC Studios: Job Was “Trying, to Say the Least”
The DC Studios co-chief admits that the executive role wasn't quite right for him and looks forward to returning to filmmaking full time.
James Gunn has ended his four-year tenure as co-head of DC Studios, announcing the decision on social media with a mix of emotions. Gunn expressed relief in a detailed Instagram post, mentioning both the positives and challenges of his role. He thanked everyone who supported him during his time at DC Studios, highlighting significant projects like "Superman," "Clayface," and "Peacemaker."
Gunn also praised his co-head, Peter Safran, describing him as the "smartest and most competent person" he knows. However, he admitted that the job was "trying, to say the least" due to the corporate aspect and personal sacrifices, including time with his family. Gunn noted his ADHD hyperfocus made it difficult to balance passion projects and studio duties.
Despite the challenges, he remains excited to return to filmmaking and confirmed plans for the "Man of Tomorrow" sequel and a new DC Studios project.
