Jeremy Latcham is set to become the president and chief creative officer of DC Studios on December 1, marking a major leadership change that will see James Gunn and Peter Safran step down from their positions as co-CEOs.
The appointment marks Latcham’s return to an executive leadership position. He joined Marvel Studios in 2004 as one of its earliest employees and eventually advanced to the role of senior vice president of production and development.
Latcham was also among the key members who helped establish the company’s cinematic universe.
He was involved in major productions at Marvel Studios, including Guardians of the Galaxy, the first two Iron Man films, the first two Avengers instalments and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The former Marvel Studios executive later moved into film production, working on projects such as Bad Times at the El Royale, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and The Breadwinner. Latcham is also attached as a producer to the upcoming Naruto film.
