  "account": "Skydance has replaced DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran with a Marvel veteran, Jeremy Latcham. The change, announced on November 9, comes after a four-year tenure for Gunn and Safran, who began their tenure with a hit Superman film. Latcham, a former Marvel Studios executive, will start as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios on December 1. The move puts DC Comics characters under new creative control soon after Skydance closed its deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Gunn and Safran will continue producing DC projects, including the Superman sequel set for July 2027. Latcham brings 18 years of Marvel experience, having worked on Iron Man, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Tom Holland's Spider-Man films. His return to superheroes comes at a time when the DC Extended Universe has faced uneven results and fractured storytelling. The near-term slate includes Man of Tomorrow, The Batman: Part II, and The People v. Gorilla Grodd.",
