David Ellison's Skydance has replaced DC Studios co-chairmen and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran with a Marvel veteran, marking a leadership shakeup at the Warner Bros. Discovery film unit. The change comes after the October 13, 2026 world premiere of Warner Bros.' "Clayface," a DC title Gunn and Safran oversaw. Skydance, now led by Ellison, is asserting control over DC's creative direction as the studio's film slate moves forward. The move matters because DC's franchise strategy has been closely tied to Gunn and Safran's multi-year reboot plan. Watch next for the incoming executive's name and any revisions to DC's announced release calendar.
