James Gunn has spoken out after he and Peter Safran were replaced by Jeremy Latcham as the head of DC Studios.

In a surprising move on Monday, Skydance replaced Gunn and Safran with Marvel veteran Latcham as the president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. It ends Gunn and Safran’s four-year run as the heads of DC Studios, where they rebooted the superhero universe with “Superman,” “Supergirl,” “Clayface” and the HBO series “Lanterns.”
