Jeremy Latcham Becomes the New Head of DC Studios

DC Studios is preparing for a major leadership change. Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel Studios executive, will become the company’s President and Chief Creative Officer on December 1, 2026.

Latcham brings experience from some of Marvel’s biggest productions, including Iron Man, The Avengers and Spider-Man: Homecoming. He also worked with James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy, giving him an established connection to the filmmaker he will succeed.

A new direction for DC’s film and television projects

James Gunn and Peter Safran will leave their leadership positions after four years in charge of DC Studios. However, they are not leaving the entertainment industry or the DC universe. Both will return to creative work as filmmakers and producers.

In his new role, Latcham will oversee DC’s film, television and animation projects. His responsibilities will include creative development, production, talent and studio strategy.

The appointment comes as DC continues to build its next chapter across cinema and television. Latcham’s background in major superhero productions could help the studio strengthen its approach to comic-book adaptations.

His experience at Marvel may also bring a different perspective to DC’s creative plans. The challenge will be to develop a distinct identity while delivering films that connect with audiences around the world.
