They will lead DC's film, TV and animation offerings as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios, which replaces DC Films, from 1 November. Gunn and Safran said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, "We're honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we've loved since we were children. We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved.”
