James Gunn says running DC Studios did not suit him as he prepares to step down

James Gunn says the corporate side of running DC Studios did not suit him, but he will continue making films for the studio after stepping down as its chief executive.

In a social-media post on Monday, Gunn said he had gone without time to relax during the past four years and had taken those breaks away from himself and his loved ones. He described being offered the job in 2022 as a dream opportunity, adding that he was glad he had accepted it and that the studio had experienced “great highs”.

Gunn said he is working on *Man of Tomorrow*, due out next summer, and is writing another project he does not intend to abandon. He previously said he and co-chief executive Peter Safran would leave their leadership roles on 1 December, with former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham taking over. The leadership change leaves Gunn involved in DC’s film work while ending his run at the studio’s helm.
