Bingo. Ironman 1 was seen as a respectable success with a 584M grossing box office, even in the midst of all the Raimi Spider-Man movies that each made way more and The Dark Knight making over a billion that same year. Imagine if early 2000s Paramount decided to just pull the plug on them the very next year after Hulk’s underperformance or even the years after that as Thor 1 couldn’t bring in even 100M in profit alone and Cap 1 could only rake in 20M in profit. The MCU was given the time and space to make movies with lukewarm box office numbers for years, cultivating an audience which eventually paid off in Avengers.

Reported details on why Skydance removed James Gunn & Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios: • 'Supergirl' was viewed as a box office disaster • Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance — it reportedly lacked pop culture impact to them • DC heads were reportedly reluctant or slow to share future DC plans, slate details and footage with Skydance execs • They wanted to report directly to David Ellison to maintain strong control over the rollout of DC projects • One insider says the exec shakeup has been in the works since early Fall • Gunn and Safran will still have direct links to the studio, but with less control • It is unclear if Gunn will get the chance to finish any of his vision for Superman, which reportedly includes a trilogy • One DC insider expressed concern about whether fans will continue investing in the franchise if it is rebooted yet again (via @THR)

Donnie Dunagan, who provided the original voice of Disney’s Bambi, has died of lung cancer at age 92. “We were proud to represent a Marine, beloved by fans around the world for his roles in ‘Bambi’ and ‘Son of Frankenstein,'” his told Variety. “While he asked us (in his words) ‘not to be sad due to the great life I lived,’ it would be amiss not to share the impact that Donnie had on people when they met him. His love for life was shown through his encouragement. He knew how to inspire and inspired us to be the best we could be. He had an infectious smile, a warmth and charisma that never shook the child-like spirit of his acting youth. He rallied other veterans, loved his fans, and above all else, loved his wife. We will always love you Donnie. You were the best of us.” variety.com/2026/film/obitua…

We’re thrilled to welcome Jeremy to DC Studios! As part of the founding team behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he helped define the modern superhero movie and powered some of the biggest, most beloved comic book adaptations of our time. We can’t wait to see the stories he’ll bring to life, and how he’ll help build the future of DC for fans everywhere. James and Peter began a new era for DC Studios, guiding it through a major transformation and bringing audiences fresh chapters of beloved stories, including Superman, Lanterns and Creature Commandos. We’re grateful for the passion and care they brought to this work, and for the lasting mark they’ve left on DC.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-heads of DC Studios after four years: • Marvel Studios veteran Jeremy Latcham will take over as president and chief creative officer on Dec. 1 • Gunn and Safran will “return full time to their creative work” ahead of “Man of Tomorrow,” the sequel to 2025’s “Superman,” which hits theaters July 9, 2027. • Said Gunn and Safran: “Four years ago, we set out to unite DC under one creative vision. In that time, we helped restore Superman to the heart of DC, while opening new doors and telling new stories in film and television with Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface. We’re immensely proud of the team that turned that ambition into something real, including the actors, crews and executives we had the opportunity to collaborate with. We’ve shared a creative history with Jeremy going back to Marvel, and we’re eager to see the perspective he brings to DC’s next chapter. We’re excited to return to what drew us to this job in the first place, which is telling the stories we love, including the next chapter of Clark and Lex’s journey in Man of Tomorrow.” variety.com/2026/more/news/j…
