The new version of Superman will see Clark Kent trying to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his life on Earth. The first trailer shows him experiencing love and loss and becoming the hero in the eyes of the masses, while also making a few enemies along the way.
According to Gunn, Superman won’t be an origin story because we know enough about this character to immediately swing into action by his side.
“We just start in the middle of the action. Superman’s already existing. Lois and Clark already know each other. Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally,” Gunn told The Wrap.
He cited Richard Donner’s 1978 classic Superman and the comic book series All-Star Superman as a major influence on his film. Gunn also added it will be tonally different from his previous projects, such as The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy, adding it’s still humorous but more “grounded”.
In addition to Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, the cast of this film will also include Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, and Alan Tudyk.
Superman will be released on July 11, 2025, as the first film of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
Superman in the new film has been described as “the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned”, and we’ll get to see him trying to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his upbringing as Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas.
David Corenswet is gearing up to lead this film, and the first-look photo shows him putting on his suit, while a giant pink beam flies over the night sky, threatening to destroy the city. Gunn first shared the photo on the social media platform Threads and wrote, “The above photo was taken on set by Jess Miglio and was entirely in-camera.”
Superman is scheduled to hit the theaters on July 11, 2025, and its cast also includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern/Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.
