One of the reasons for letting James Gunn and Peter Safran go was because Superman (2025) lacked “pop culture impact”. “Punkrocker” by Teddybears, “Superman Summer”, “Kindness Summer” were all dominant social media and pop culture phrases/trends in Summer 2025 according to data.

James Gunn was; - “celebrating Clayface making $100 million” - Writing Superman 3 Then, on Friday, Nov. 6 2026, David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz told Gunn and Peter Safran they were out as co-heads of DC Studios.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Jeremy Latcham will deliver “more meat and potatoes tastes” rather than James Gunn’s “lesser known characters”

Reasons that Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios included; • ‘Supergirl’ being a massive bomb • ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not “impressive” to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.
