James Gunn’s Superman is one of the most exciting new superhero blockbusters in the works right now, and he just shared the first look with the world. David Corenswet is suiting up to save the day as the next Clark Kent in the first look at this highly-anticipated film.

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.

After a lot of speculations about the future of the DC Universe under the helm of James Gunn, we finally know what to expect from this takeover. The new co-chairman of DC Studios announced he’ll blast off the new DC universe by directing the upcoming superhero blockbuster Superman: Legacy.

Gunn announced the news in the Twitter thread, where he shared details about this project, set to hit the theaters on July 11, 2025. Gunn revealed he was offered to direct a film about the iconic superhero years ago, but he initially said no because he didn’t feel he could give him the dignity he deserves.

He kept exploring ways to make Superman’s story unique, fun, and emotional and found what he was looking for when he decided to focus on his heritage. Gunn’s new Superman film will explore “how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes.”

It was clear that Superman will look quite different after Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC and decided to let Henry Cavill go. He announced his exit back in December, just two months after saying he’ll be back as Superman, and credited “the changing of the guard” as the reason for his exit.

The DC Universe is experiencing a huge makeover under the helm of James Gunn and Henry Cavill is its latest victim. The British actor confirmed he won’t be returning as Superman after all, shortly after Gunn announced he’s plotting a new DC project about the iconic superhero.

Gunn took to Twitter to discuss the future of DC after taking over the company alongside Peter Safran. He said that the new Superman movie, which focuses on the earlier part of the hero’s life, is on DC’s future slate. Considering the subject matter, the project won’t include Cavill, but Gunn added they had “a great meeting” with the actor to talk about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.

Cavill confirmed his exit in an emotional post on social media, only a few months after announcing his return. The actor admitted it’s not the easiest to share this news, but wished Gunn and Safran the best of luck as they build a new DC universe.

“Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there! My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards,” wrote the actor.

DC is experiencing a major shakeup under the helm of new co-heads, James Gunn and Peter Safran, and this will reflect on the future of many highly-anticipated projects. Wonder Woman 3 is the first upcoming DC film to get the boot under the new DC administration.

This cancelation comes as quite a shocker because it comes only a day after the titular star Gal Gadot shared a hopeful tweet about the future of the Wonder Woman franchise. She concluded her tweet by writing, “can’t wait to share her next chapter with you”, but it quickly turned out we won’t be getting a new chapter of Diana Prince’s story.

This decision caused so much confusion that Gunn couldn’t help but react, saying he and Safran were aware they were coming into a fractious environment when they agreed to take over DC Studios.

“We know we are not going to make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise everything we do is done in the service of the STORY & in the service of the DC CHARACTERS we know you cherish and we have cherished our whole lives,” wrote Gunn on Twitter.

Wonder Woman and its sequel Wonder Woman 1984 were both directed by Patty Jenkins, with Gal Gadot in the lead role, jointly grossing almost $1 billion worldwide.

All hell broke loose after Disney bosses fired James Gunn, who did a great job directing the first two films in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. The future of the film series was on the line, and after fans kept urging them to bring Gunn back, the studio finally granted their wish.

Gunn was fired after a series of offensive tweets resurfaced, but those close to the director claimed they don’t match his personal actions and believes. Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista immediately backed him up, and signed an open letter asking the studio to hire him back.

Fans were also on Gunn’s side and they were heartbroken after Disney put Guardians of the Galaxy 3 on hold. They didn’t stop hoping that the studio will eventually bring him back and Gunn thanked them for their continuing support.

“I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the past few months. I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be,” tweeted James Gunn.

He also thanked the studio for giving him another chance and said he’s excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all.

The man behind Marvel’s hit Guardians of the Galaxy films is crossing over to DC. 

James Gunn has been tapped to pen the Suicide Sequel, just months after he was fired from Disney. Expectations are high as the first installment of the Warner Bros. and DC franchise was not received well by the critics. 

Disney fired the 52-year-old filmmaker after a series of offensive tweets he had written a decade prior resurfaced. The tweets made offensive jokes and Gunn, who had the support of almost the entire Guardians cast was let go by Disney. Following that, production on the Marvel sequel was put on hold indefinitely. 

“Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today,” he wrote apologetically. “Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all.”

Gunn is also in talks to direct the film.

The production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is being put on hold. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter crew members are being dismissed and are free to look for new work.

While there are conflicting reports from sources close to the production whether the hold is temporary or not, James Gunn’s firing from Disney from his post at Marvel means that production of the third installment has been put on hold indefinitely. 

Gunn, who teased that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to premiere sometime after Avengers 4, was let go by Disney. The company announced that it has “severed [its] business relationship” with Gunn following the unearthing of offensive tweets. 

“The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him,” Walt Disney Company Chairman Alan Horn said in a statement a couple of months ago.

Even though Disney has never set a release date for the feature, sources added that “The timeline has been pushed out.”

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has confirmed that he in working on a new Starsky & Hutch series, saying that it is going to be a “continuation” of the ’70s show for Amazon.

Gunn took to Facebook and confirmed the news with a long and detailed post.

“You may have just read the news that I’m doing a version of Starsky & Hutch over at Amazon, producing alongside Neal Moritz with Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn writing. Well….”

He opened up about what was it like for him to watch it, saying that he was “instantly intrigued” with the possibly of joining such a project, adding that he simply doesn’t get involved in projects that he doesn’t love or isn’t committed to. In regards to the questions what will this Starsky & Hutch be in relation to the original he wrote, “this would NOT be a reboot or a remake, but a continuation of the original series that would deconstruct the buddy cop show in a fun way.”  Gunn finished his announcement by telling current and future fans, “yes, I AM working on Starsky & Hutch for Amazon: I couldn’t be more excited, and I can’t wait for you guys to see what we come up with. Striped Tomato forever! Stay tuned!”

The original Starsky & Hutch premiered in 1975 on ABC and ran for 92 episodes until 1979. It was produced by Aaron Spelling. The show told the story of two L.A police officers played by David Soul and Paul Michael. The two from Southern California, who were opposites when it came to personal experience and personality, are most memorable when chasing bad guys in their iconic red and white-striped Ford Gran Torino.

“The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him,” Walt Disney Company Chairman Alan Horn said in a statement a couple of months ago.

Even though Disney has never set a release date for the feature, sources added that “The timeline has been pushed out.”

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has confirmed that he in working on a new Starsky & Hutch series, saying that it is going to be a “continuation” of the ’70s show for Amazon.

Gunn took to Facebook and confirmed the news with a long and detailed post.

“You may have just read the news that I’m doing a version of Starsky & Hutch over at Amazon, producing alongside Neal Moritz with Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn writing. Well….”

He opened up about what was it like for him to watch it, saying that he was “instantly intrigued” with the possibly of joining such a project, adding that he simply doesn’t get involved in projects that he doesn’t love or isn’t committed to. In regards to the questions what will this Starsky & Hutch be in relation to the original he wrote, “this would NOT be a reboot or a remake, but a continuation of the original series that would deconstruct the buddy cop show in a fun way.”  Gunn finished his announcement by telling current and future fans, “yes, I AM working on Starsky & Hutch for Amazon: I couldn’t be more excited, and I can’t wait for you guys to see what we come up with. Striped Tomato forever! Stay tuned!”

The original Starsky & Hutch premiered in 1975 on ABC and ran for 92 episodes until 1979. It was produced by Aaron Spelling. The show told the story of two L.A police officers played by David Soul and Paul Michael. The two from Southern California, who were opposites when it came to personal experience and personality, are most memorable when chasing bad guys in their iconic red and white-striped Ford Gran Torino.
