Although the movie had only been playing on the big screen for three days, he touted the “bold 10-year plan” of DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran and promised “the DC vision is clear” and “the momentum is real.” Fast forward a year and a half, and those plans have imploded. Gunn and Safran were dismissed from the top of the comic book empire, with Marvel Studios alum Jeremy Latcham taking over as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.

Had the two stayed, though, the org change would have represented a demotion.

Under the previous regime, they answered directly to Zaslav and not movie co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. However, Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz made plans to shift Gunn and Safran’s reporting structure into new Skydance Motion Picture Group chiefs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.

The executive shuffle is yet another setback for DC Studios, which has struggled for years to compete with Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their short-lived leadership at DC follows multiple turnovers over the past decade, starting with comic book veterans Geoff Johns and Jon Berg and then Walter Hamada.

After DC’s last iteration of superhero movies flamed out with duds like “The Flash” and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” Gunn and Safran were hired in 2022 to overhaul some of the company’s most lucrative IP. Efforts to right the ship were mixed at best — with tentpoles and television shows that didn’t always generate enough excitement to justify their price tags.

Sources suggest the thinking was they spent big — and lost too much — on projects that just weren’t resonating with audiences. Gunn’s “Superman,” starring David Corenswet — the duo’s first big swing as bosses — was touted as a hit with $618 million against a $225 million budget.

Those ticket sales were promising enough, given the general decline in popularity of comic book movies. But they didn’t necessarily signal the kind of lasting enthusiasm that spawns an interconnected universe.

Momentum all but evaporated with July’s money-loser “Supergirl,” which flopped with $126 million globally against a $170 million budget. And while October’s “Clayface” performed modestly with $109 million against a $44 million budget, sources suggest the body-horror thriller won’t break even until the studio factors in downstream revenues.

Insiders have raised eyebrows at Gunn and Safran’s decision to focus on lesser-known characters, like Superman’s cousin Kara El-Zor, aka Supergirl, and the Batman villain Clayface, rather than building out the franchise with marquee names. Although superhero movies have been hit or miss, the ones that spotlight notable characters can still pack a box-office punch.
