James Gunn and Peter Safran step down from DC Studios
James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios Gunn’s statement: “My time at DC Studios has been trying, to say the least. I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job … [I’m] incredibly relieved and excited to get back to pure filmmaking”
Armyofone55Gunn control has quickly been implemented in the U.S following the midterms
Horror girl42This man has dealt with so much crap from conservatives I don’t blame him but I know ADHD is tough and I have autism so I can’t imagine how he feels
Joshua Carpenter21More like the new "Skydance" was about to fire him. I'd probably would have quit after the merger. But glad he is getting away from them.
V13I will always think that Gunn let his ego get the best of him, but I wouldn’t want the job anymore either after being owned by Trump and the Saudis.
Red Squrrl☆🇵🇷🔻🎥📖🎸9Wasn't DCU having a major comeback since he took charge? Help me understand what the hell is happening here🫤
Simon Gable Lundmark7I honestly always felt a bit uneasy about trapping him in that insane role of both overseeing everything and making movies at the same time. Seemed like an awful thing to put a person through that self-admittedly had difficulty with work/life balance. I just hope this doesn't derail all plans again.
𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖘𝖊, 𝕸𝖎𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕳𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖓 🎃20So we all agree that Jeremy Latcham is gonna absolutely drive DC into the ground, right?
𝕯𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖞 𝕱𝖊𝖓9Disappointing but not all together unexpected
rdmacq.bsky.social7Yeah, so it *REALLY* sounds like he was unhappy there.
David Muñoz6Pues como fan del Gunn pre DC que piensa que todo lo que ha hecho allí (excepto la T1 de Peacemaker) es una castaña, me alegro de que le hayan largado. Imagino que a estas alturas debe estar tan forrado que no necesita trabajar por dinero, así que a ver si vuelve a lo que de verdad sabe hacer.
Nicole "Ashrah" Hidalgo 😈🧄👻4My first thought was, "I hope Chris won't be forgotten in Salvation," but I've learned, the very hard and very painful way, to be careful what I wish for, especially when this is also related to the cancer that is WB.
c0ast3r 🚢 the pride of the American side2Well that didn’t last long.
so fucked that james gunn is already leaving DC studios. their output wasn't perfect under him (supergirl) but superman and lanterns were great, and i've heard clayface is good too. not a lot of faith in what's next
Bobby Schroeder117there's that screenshot about new studio head jeremy latcham "making superhero movies for a christian audience," and the actual clip's not THAT bad, but he does talk about using "would my christian grandma like this" to gauge what "regular people outside hollywood" like. doesn't inspire confidence
Gojira0071The fact that it hasn't even been two full years since this slate started strikes me as especially insane. Like, can you imagine if this had happened to Feige after "The Incredible Hulk" came out same year as "Iron Man" to middling reception?
Boy, sure would be a shame if people showed their disgust with Paramount-Skydance for pushing James Gunn off the DC Universe by avoiding their big expensive (and sh---y looking!) movie "EBENEZER" this week! 😏 I mean, especially if they flooded the comments, socials, etc for that movie to say so 🙃
The Emperor's New Podcast14everyone should avoid that movie regardless.
Laughing ⸸ Abyss ⸸ Jerrod ⸸ LazⒶrus 🏳️⚧14I mean I wasn't going to see it before, but now I won't see it even harder, with intention. #restorethegunnverse Yeah we doing that.
rockysavannah7Watch Wildwood and Godzilla Minus Zero instead.
googamp32.bsky.social5Like anyone was going to see that piece of shit, anyway!
We have Ebeneezer at home, bitches.
97GeoPrizm4I was not going to support admitted domestic abuser Johnny Depp anyway, so it’ll be easy.
The brilliant leadership that gave us the amazing results below at CBS by putting Bari Weiss in charge have now replaced James Gunn as head of DC Studios. I hope you weren’t expecting a season 2 of Lanterns.
Andrew Sheeler3Especially since this guy is who they replaced him with.
Abimbola1With Oracle stock disappearing in quicksand and CBS losing eyeballs, I’m sure they ( The Ellisons) don’t want to strangle the goose laying golden eggs i.e. HBO and CNN by making shitty personnel decisions. Why can’t these supposed billionaire geniuses lead?
Oh. Well. This explains a few things. David Ellison is proving to be just as competent a studio chief as he was an actor.
Jose Munoz1I think it's just one podcast. Can we not do this without actual information. Man I'm getting tired of this. From both sides.
Drew Davenport1It’s gonna be Super Jesus all over again
85brettnolan15.bsky.social1They can't even make good "normal" movies. Can you imagine how bad a superhero movie would be?
wonder how long its been that someone at skydance has been sulking about james gunn having been able to put a major cape movie, maybe *the* cape movie, out there that was predominantly anti ICE & anti zionist in its messaging but its like whatcha gonna do now, try to go snyderverse again? good luck
erin plasma11like maybe, just maybe, preemptively its worth saying that mainstream audiences over the past couple years find stories about someone with the power to hold anti immigrant techbro billionaire elites accountable, maybe thats closer to home than whatever the ellisons demand is, of entertainment media
Princess Arna2I guess it's just gonna be a daily wire supethero movie 🤢
irushyoudown.bsky.social1They blew it! They had it all and they blew it! Can't wait for yet another reboot.
My reaction to...ugh, James Gunn & Peter Safran leaving DC...🙁
Justin Monti1It’s either A) They left on their own decision, or B) Things are going do badly with Paramount and WB under the Ellisons to the point where they just don’t want to be associated with them anymore and just wanna jump ship when they have the chance, if it is because of the latter, I don’t blame them.
Matt G. ♾️🍉 (TOMORROW 🎂)1I genuinely feel like you needed these hugs. I'm sorry today's events have left you feeling sour, Isabella.
