"Superman," directed by James Gunn, is an upcoming film set to reboot the iconic superhero's story. Scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, the film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
Unlike previous adaptations, this version will not retell Superman's origin story. Instead, it begins with Superman already established, focusing on his efforts to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The narrative delves into his relationships with key characters, including Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult.
The film introduces a fresh ensemble of characters from the DC universe, such as Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). Additionally, the Daily Planet team features Wendell Pierce as Perry White and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen.
A teaser poster released on December 16, 2024, showcases Superman soaring above Metropolis, accompanied by the tagline "Look up." The first official trailer is scheduled for release on December 19, 2024.
"Superman" is poised to be a significant addition to the DC Universe, offering a contemporary perspective on the legendary superhero. Fans can anticipate a blend of action, character-driven storytelling, and a nuanced portrayal of Superman's dual identity.
