I think the worst part of Gunn leaving is that the studio won’t be as creator focused as he was. Whether you like him or not no other studio would give Matt reeves that much time to make his sequel or wait that long for mangold to do swamp thing. He really did respect the creators and wanted their vision over anything
The DCU plan reportedly included introducing Batman in ‘THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD’ in 2028.
James Gunn's ‘SUPERMAN’ sequels would’ve then evolved into a ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ film in 2029 - 2031.

So Skydance's plan for DC Studios is to chase Marvel by hiring one of the architects of MCU Phase 1.
We've seen this movie before, and it doesn't end well.
James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios.
Jeremy Latcham, who previously served as a producer at Marvel Studios, is taking over DC.

Imagine someone loving you so much that if you died they would refuse to accept who they are because doing so would mean accepting that they had lost you

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.
