Tony Khan Speaks On AEW’s “Great Relationship” With DC Comics
Tony Khan is aware of the shift within DC Comics, but hopes there’s a future for the comic giant going forward.
As part of All Elite Wrestling’s plan to expand its reach and get itself in front of more people, they teamed up with DC Comics to make two different projects. One was a short origin series depicting their best/fan-favorite wrestlers in more comic-style origins, and then there was a full-on AEW x DC Comics crossover that occurred in 2025. Fast forward to now, and DC Comics has gone through a shakeup via the Skydance merger, and Khan has now addressed the changes.
During the Full Gear media call, AEW head Tony Khan was asked about that and what the future may hold for the partnership:
“I am going to be very interested about the changes at DC. We’ve got a great relationship with AEW and DC. I don’t know Jeremy well. I’m very excited to get to know Jeremy Latcham, and really thrilled that he’s coming in. We had a great thing, and have had a great relationship with DC, and I think that’s going to continue.”

In what form the partnership could continue remains to be seen. For those who don’t know, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran stepped down from their positions, being replaced by Jeremy Latcham, who will now oversee all projects in the DCU movie universe and beyond.
There are many questions being asked by fans about what the shakeup will truly mean, so it’s fair that Tony Khan and AEW have questions as well. It’s possible that more comic collaborations could happen, or it’s possible that Skydance will want a less-is-more approach. For now, only time will tell with regard to their next direction.
