On Monday, November 9th, it was revealed that James Gunn and Peter Safran were stepping down as Co-CEOs of DC Studios and would be replaced by former Marvel producer Jeremy Latcham. Following this unexpected announcement, reports have provided possible updates on the state of Gunn’s 10-year plan for the DCU.
According to news source Puck, there are plans “afoot to dismantle much of what Gunn and Safran had plotted out beyond next summer’s Gunn-directed Man of Tomorrow, the currently shooting The Batman: Part II. Puck also reports that an untitled “in-the-works HBO series” is also being scrapped. Puck summarizes their reports by writing that DC goes back into reboot mode… again.”
Of course, it must be stated that none of these reports have been confirmed, with no one from DC Studios, Skydance, Warner Brothers, or any related parties yet to make any statements.
For now, all that is known is that Latcham will be taking over on December 1st, and that Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, his follow-up to 2025’s Superman, is currently in post-production, is still being released, and is on track to release next year on July 9. Matt Reeves’s The Batman Part II, his sequel to 2022’s The Batman, is also still slated to release on Feb. 18, 2028.
