The hierarchy of power in the DC universe really is changing.

In a stunning turn of events, filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran have been tapped to lead DC’s film, TV and animation efforts as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a newly formed division at Warner Bros. that will replace DC Films.

The unprecedented move, in which a top director will assume a top executive post, marks the end of a months-long search by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav to replace DC Films boss Walter Hamada, who departed the studio last week. That search had all of Hollywood guessing and playing executive bingo for who will get one of the most coveted — and challenging — jobs in town.

DAMN

Could be good. I had zero interest in the suicide squad and he made a really fun movie.

smh

Holy s***

come live all your dreams out at DCEU

Should be interesting.

Here comes the MCU-ification of DC

I mean that’s been Zaslav’s goal

smh

True

They really gon copy mcu swag

Why tf james gunn when he probably ain't gon last 6 months

Damn what a come up

I really just want the superman equivalent to “The Batman”

james gunn started working with DC in 2018. he's lasted this long

same a director who knows exactly what makes superman cool, what makes him him and how to tap into all those things

holy s***

People really be failing upwards in Hollywood. I’m half joking cause it’s James Gunn but TSS flopped and they made him co-CEO

This is gonna be funny

Can't think of a worse timeline

feige should drop an open letter where hes congratulating gunn on the job and wishing him luck.

he put the guy on the map and now he's his competition

A director and manager in charge of one of the biggest studios.

James got Guardians of the Galaxy coming out next year. Ain't that a conflict of interest.

How he gon be directing movies and running an organization at the same time

ok im retiring from ktt2 and ima institutionalize myself its been fun yall say wassup to backlava fo me if he ever comes back
