DC Studios' Peter Safran Confirms Upcoming Slate on Track After Skydance Acquisition

DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran confirmed the studio's upcoming slate remains on track following Warner Bros.' acquisition by Skydance, with Clayface set as the first release under the new regime. He noted new owner David Ellison was complimentary and wants to provide resources for the existing long-term vision. Safran detailed plans for a diverse range of projects, including the R-rated body horror film Clayface, which he said represents creative flexibility. He confirmed Lanterns Season Two is not greenlit, while animated projects like Mr. Miracle and Creature Commandos Season Two are advanced, and James Gunn has not yet chosen his next directing project. The executive addressed concerns about Batman: Part Two, acknowledging current production issues but praising what has been shot so far. He also discussed the studio's approach to Gotham City's look, saying each filmmaker can interpret it differently while maintaining a consistent gritty tone.
