Following Jeremy Latcham's appointment as head of DC Studios, a clip from his interview with the CBN television network began circulating on X. In it, the producer shared that while working on the early Marvel films, he was partly guided by his grandmother's tastes:
“When we made those first Marvel movies, I always said, ‘I don’t know, would my grandmother like this, you know?’ And that sort of became a touchstone for me as we worked on the movies.”
Fans also brought up Latcham's appearance at the Movieguide Awards, where he shared another story about his grandmother. After “Iron Man” was released, she called him from Oklahoma to say that during Sunday service, the film had been cited as an example of a story about redemption. For the producer, this was a sign that the story had resonated with audiences far beyond Hollywood.
These remarks have led some fans to question whether there will still be room under Latcham for projects aimed at mature audiences. “No more horror like ‘Clayface’ because this guy’s grandma wouldn’t watch it,” user jenmxhs wrote. Another commenter, Rjwubby, has already said goodbye to “Peacemaker” and “everything with an R-rating.” Paul Anleitner, on the other hand, asked for “something uplifting that offers hope,” adding that he wants to watch such stories together with his parents and children.
Latcham will assume his role on December 1. He has not yet publicly revealed his plans for the DC cinematic universe.
