Oh no, Snyderbros! Seems all the attempts to manifest, like a teenage girl waiting for a prom date, have had zero effect. The studio wasn’t listening, the universe wasn’t listening, and your “sources” were actually you. Skydance chief David Ellison has asked James Gunn and Peter Safran to stay on in post at DC Studios post-Paramount merger.
The report in Deadline says they will continue to co-lead the studio and all DC properties. The pair had meetings with Ellison, and Ellison visited the set of Man Of Tomorrow. The relationship is said to be positive.
All film units at the newly combined studio will report to Paramount Pictures co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, including DC Studios.
Supergirl was a big miss for them at the box office, but Superman was one of Warner Bros. profitable entries in their record-breaking year last year. Lanterns is doing big numbers on HBO Max. Peacemaker and Creature Commandos were renewed. The highly experimental feeling Clayface comes out in time for Halloween, but its budget is very contained.
There are also rumors out there that Gunn and Safran have chosen their Flash, and it is a familiar face.
