Skyler Gisondo commented on the leadership transition at DC Studios following the announcement that co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down from their roles, effective December 1, after four years heading the division.
Gisondo made his DC debut in Gunn’s Superman film, which released last year, playing photographer Jimmy Olsen at the Daily Planet. During an interview Wednesday night at the premiere of his upcoming film Focker-in-Law, the actor expressed sadness at their departure while acknowledging the impact they had on his career. He described working with them as a joy and indicated hope for potential future collaborations.
The actor has multiple DC projects currently in development. He is set to appear in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, directed by Gunn and scheduled for theatrical release July 9. Additionally, Gisondo will reprise his Jimmy Olsen role in an HBO Max series titled The People v. Gorilla Grodd, described as an eight-episode mockumentary following Jimmy as he directs and stars in a true-crime investigation about whether the superintelligent ape villain was wrongly convicted in a Metropolis murder case. Jimmy Tatro is cast as Gorilla Grodd.
Both projects are currently in post-production stages. Gunn was also developing a third Superman film prior to the recent leadership changes. Jeremy Latcham, formerly an executive at Marvel, is slated to assume the position of president and chief creative officer at DC Studios following Gunn and Safran’s transition.
When asked about direct communication with the departing executives, Gisondo indicated he had not yet connected with them since the news broke, noting that uncertainty remained about future developments at the studio.
