Director, Publisher ‘The Suicide Squad’ appointed Chairman, CEO with DC Studios

WARNER Brothers Studio named James Gunn and veteran executive Peter Safran as Co-Chairs and Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios.

Gunn is the writer and director of the revival of “The Suicide Squad”.

With this appointment, he will be responsible for the films “Batman”, “Superman” and the entire DC Universe in Warner Brothers Discovery.

The role will allow Gunn and Safran to develop long-term plans for the DC Comics company specifically for film, television and animation.

The two will also produce, develop and direct their own projects, the studio said.

Safran has produced numerous films for Warner Bros and New Line Cinema, including “The Suicide Squad” as well as “Aquaman”, “Shazam” and the horror film “The Conjuring”.

Beginning Nov. 1, Gunn and Safran will report to Warner Bros. Discovery President and CEO David Zaslav, who praised Safram and Gunn’s “singular and complementary talents.”

According to Zaslav, Gunn and Safran’s decades of experience in filmmaking make them uniquely qualified to develop a long-term strategy across film, TV and animation, and take the iconic franchise to the next level.

Previously, Walter Hamada headed DC Films but officially left the studio last week, ahead of the theatrical release of “Black Adam”.
