華納兄弟和派拉蒙天空之舞正式合併，新公司定名「天空之舞」，旗下包含華納影業、DC影業、HBO Max等多個原屬華納探索的業務板塊。在合併後，原DC影業CEO詹姆士·古恩和彼得·薩夫蘭也將繼續留任。
DC影業聯合CEO詹姆士·古恩和彼得·薩夫蘭與天空之舞CEO大衛·埃里森舉行了會晤，進展順利。他們將留任DC影業負責人，繼續掌管這家負責電影、劇集與漫畫開發的核心部門，延續他們擅長的創作工作，並開始向派拉蒙影業聯席主席達娜·戈德伯格和喬什·格林斯坦直接匯報。
國外網友表示，DC需要找到自己的凱文·費奇。一個能夠統籌全局但自己不拍電影的人。讓詹姆士·古恩繼續打造他的DC宇宙，但要縮減規模。拓展里夫斯的蝙蝠俠宇宙。引入像柴克·施奈德這樣的導演，拍攝獨立平行宇宙的電影。
David Ellison reportedly wants James Gunn and Peter Safran to stay at DC Studios after the Paramount-Warner merger closes, and I think people are reading way too much into that. Of course he wants them to stay. What’s the alternative? Publicly kneecap the current DC slate while MAN OF TOMORROW, THE BATMAN PART II, CLAYFACE and everything else are already in motion? Warner Bros. already did that once in 2022-23, when audiences were expected to care about four DCEU movies everyone knew belonged to a dead universe. That doesn’t mean Gunn and Safran are bulletproof. SUPERGIRL was a real financial miss, and Mike Flanagan has gone out of his way to clarify that the finished CLAYFACE is James Watkins’ movie, not his original vision. There are absolutely things to question. But this 「vote of confidence」 feels less like a coronation and more like corporate common sense. Keep the machine running. Protect the slate. Don’t spook investors. Don’t tell audiences the thing they’re currently buying tickets for is about to be torn apart. Then when the contracts come up, Ellison can decide what he actually wants. That's the truth. https://twitter.com/mjarbo/status/2106104738294956147
古恩與薩夫蘭的合約將於明年8月屆滿。
