  "summary": "James Gunn and Peter Safran are exiting their roles as co-CEOs and co-chairmen of DC Studios. According to The A.V. Club, the duo accepted their positions in 2022 and spent four years working to unite the DC universe under a single creative vision. In a statement, Gunn and Safran said they were proud of the team that helped restore Superman to the heart of DC and expanded storytelling through projects such as Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns, and Clayface.\n\nJeremy Latcham, a former Marvel producer who worked on films ranging from Iron Man to The Avengers, will replace them as president and chief creative officer. Variety reports that Skydance CEO David Ellison is addressing the decision to shuffle the executive ranks. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the transition occurred after a visit to the Warner Bros. lot by Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz, at a time when Gunn and Safran were already planning a third Superman movie.",
