Gunn Exit Puts DC Horror Plans In Doubt
James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving DC Studios. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, and the pair will step away on December 1.
Skydance, which now owns Warner Bros., has named former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham as the new head of DC Studios.
The news comes just as Clayface passed $100 million worldwide. Bloody Disgusting reports the body horror film is now at $109 million, on a budget of about $44 million.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gunn and Safran were happy with how Clayface did, and there was even talk of making more smaller, spooky DC movies. With both of them on the way out, those plans are now uncertain.
Other DC projects with a horror lean include James Mangold’s Swamp Thing and a John Constantine film being written by Francis Galluppi. There is no word yet on what happens to either one.
Gunn and Safran will stay involved with a few projects. Gunn’s Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow is in post-production for next year, and the two remain producers on The Batman: Part II, due in 2028.
