Peter Safran

 ( 1965 Births ) 

Safran was able to build on the success of The Conjuring Universe, going on to produce films such as Aquaman, Shazam!, The Suicide Squad, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, as well as the television series Peacemaker, and others under his banner through his first-look deal with Warner Bros.

In October 2022, Safran and James Gunn were named co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, assuming their positions on November 1 of that year. Since then, they have overseen the division’s film, television and animation projects, with Gunn handling the creative side, and Safran handling the business side. They had previously collaborated on several projects, starting with the 2000 superhero comedy film The Specials, written by Gunn with Safran as co-executive producer, and including: Gunn's 2008 short films Sparky & Mikaela and Humanzee!; the television series James Gunn's PG Porn (2008–2009); The Belko Experiment (2016); and the DCEU film The Suicide Squad (2021). In their roles as co-heads of DC Studios, Safran and Gunn are involved in casting characters for the wider DC Universe (DCU) franchise, and Safran produces all films in the franchise.
