Most superhero fans had never heard his name until this week. Now Jeremy Latcham is the man in charge of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
Skydance has handed DC Studios to the Marvel veteran after James Gunn and Peter Safran stepped down as co-heads. Latcham isn’t a director or a famous face. He is a producer who spent 13 years helping build the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the inside, and he has worked with Gunn before.
So who is he, what has he made, and why is a resurfaced interview about his faith suddenly everywhere? Here’s the full picture.
| Name | Jeremy Latcham |
| New role | President and chief creative officer, DC Studios |
| Starts | December 1, 2026 |
| Replaces | James Gunn and Peter Safran |
| Reports to | Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, co-chairs of Skydance Motion Picture Group |
| Marvel years | 2004 to 2017 (rose to senior VP of production and development) |
| Own company | Latcham Pictures (founded 2017) |
| Known for | Iron Man, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves |
Who Is Jeremy Latcham?
Jeremy Latcham is a Hollywood producer and studio executive. He joined Marvel in 2004, back when the studio was still years away from launching its shared universe, and worked his way up to senior vice president of production and development, working closely with Kevin Feige.
At Marvel he was involved in the first wave of the MCU, including Iron Man and The Avengers, and later Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Reports credit him with work on six MCU films in total.
His Career After Marvel
Latcham left Marvel in 2017 to start his own banner, Latcham Pictures. The company held first-look deals at 20th Century Fox, Hasbro and Wonder Project, and produced Bad Times at the El Royale and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Honor Among Thieves is probably the best clue to his taste outside Marvel: a big, funny, crowd-pleasing fantasy adventure that critics liked and families could watch together.
What Exactly Will He Do at DC Studios?
Latcham will lead DC’s film, television and animation slate. That means overseeing the creative pipeline, production, talent and overall strategy. He reports to Skydance Motion Picture Group co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, who said he brings “a deep reverence for DC and its passionate fanbase”.
In his own statement, Latcham said he can’t wait to work “night and day” with filmmakers, comic creators, artists and storytellers to build something ambitious for longtime DC fans and newcomers alike. Skydance chief David Ellison also publicly welcomed him.
His History With James Gunn
This is the twist that makes the story fun. Latcham, Gunn and Safran are not strangers. Latcham worked on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which Gunn directed, and in their joint statement Gunn and Safran said they had “shared a creative history with Jeremy going back to Marvel” and were eager to see the perspective he brings to DC’s next chapter.
Gunn and Safran had run DC Studios since 2022, launching the new DCU with films and shows like Superman, Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface. But Supergirl struggled earlier this year, and the studio’s new owners have decided to change direction. Read our full breakdown of why James Gunn stepped down.
Why His Faith Interview Is Going Viral
Within hours of the announcement, fans dug up interviews Latcham gave in June 2026, including one titled “Hollywood Producer Behind Massive Marvel Hits Loves Jesus” and an appearance on the Bible Bros podcast. In them he talks about his Christian upbringing and how his grandmother influenced the way he thinks about filmmaking.
That has sparked a heated debate online. Some fans expect more family-friendly, PG-13 superhero films. Others worry darker projects could be shelved. So far, though, Latcham hasn’t announced any changes to DC’s slate, and nothing official suggests he plans to turn Batman into faith-based content.
Don’t Believe Everything You See on X
A few viral posts claim Latcham has already revealed a new Justice League cast, taken shots at Gunn, or renamed characters. None of this comes from an official announcement. Some posts are clearly jokes, and others are rumours. He doesn’t even officially start until December 1.
What Happens to Superman and the DCU Now?
The first big film on Latcham’s watch will be Man of Tomorrow, the next Superman movie. Whether he keeps Gunn’s interconnected DCU plan, reshapes it or starts fresh is the biggest question DC fans have right now, and we’ll update this post as soon as he says more.
