About Superman Movie:
Superman is an American action-adventure superhero film based on DC Comics featuring the character of the same name. Produced by DC Studios and to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it will be the first film in the DC Universe (DCU) and a reboot of the Superman film series. The film is written and directed by James Gunn and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, María Gabriela de Faría, Sara Sampaio, Skyler Gisondo, Nicholas Hoult, Terence Rosemore, Wendell Pierce, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.
Development on a sequel to the first DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film, Man of Steel (2013), began by October 2014, with Henry Cavill expected to reprise his role as Superman. Plans changed after the troubled production of Justice League (2017) and the Man of Steel sequel was no longer moving forward by May 2020. Gunn began work on a potential new Superman film around August 2022.
In October, he became co-CEO of DC Studios with producer Peter Safran and they began work on a new DC Universe. Gunn was publicly revealed to be writing the new Superman film in December. The title Superman: Legacy was announced in January 2023, Gunn was confirmed to be directing in March, and Corenswet and Brosnahan were cast in June.
The subtitles were dropped by the end of February 2024, when filming began in Norway. Filming was delayed from an initial January 2024 start by the SAG-AFTRA strike and was expected to last around four months. It is set to last until August at Trilith Studios in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, as well as in Ohio. The film takes specific inspiration from the comic book All-Star Superman (2005–2008) by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, among others.
Superman Release Date:
Superman is scheduled to be released theatrically by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on July 11, 2025, in IMAX. It will be part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
