James Gunn, Peter Safran are Skydance-proof, at least for now

Just in case anybody was worried that DC Studios would be affected by the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. studio merger, rest assured that it’s business as usual in Metropolis, at least for now. According to a new Puck column by former Hollywood Reporter editor Matthew Belloni, which details the internal positioning of roles at the company as the merger nears completion, James Gunn and Peter Safran will likely remain co-CEOs at the studio. So don’t go freaking out about some kind of post-merger, New 52-style DC Universe reboot where a completely recast Justice Gang fights the Decepticons or whatever. “I’m told Gunn and Safran will be invited to stay on at DC, at least initially,” Belloni wrote, before couching the obvious in parentheses, “(Again, Paramount is not confirming or commenting on any of this.)”
