Gunn Safran Exit Shakes DC Studios
Tap title to read story
Movie fans are still recovering from Monday’s bombshell that James Gunn and Peter Safran are out at DC Studios.
The move came as their latest film, Clayface, does well at the box office; another, The Batman Part II, fights production delays to get into theaters ASAP; and their overarching story is set to continue with next year’s Man of Tomorrow.
What Gunn and Safran didn’t foresee when all that began to percolate was Skydance.
The company, which had already acquired Paramount in two thousand twenty‑five, acquired Warner Bros. in two thousand twenty‑six, and its CEO David Ellison came in with a new vision.
Originally, it seemed as if Gunn and Safran were part of that vision.
