Hey there, superhero movie buffs! Are you sitting comfortably? Because I’m about to dish out everything juicy we’ve got on James Gunn’s Superman movie, slated to zap its way onto the big screen in July 2025. This isn’t just any Superman flick; it’s the one that’ll kick off the DCU Chapter One – talk about making an entrance!
So, what’s the scoop? Well, we’re not calling it “Superman: Legacy” anymore. Nope, it’s getting a fresh-out-of-the-oven title and vibe. James Gunn, that wizard behind the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, is at the helm as both the scriptwriter and director. Imagine the magic he’s stirring up for this one!
Guess what? The cast list is locked in. Although the powers that be are keeping the trailer and plot details under wraps tighter than Superman’s cape, we’re buzzing with excitement. Rumor has it, we might get a sprinkle of “Kingdom Come” inspiration. For the uninitiated, that’s a comic miniseries where Superman, along with the OG Justice League, decides to show the new, edgier superheroes how it’s done. And let’s just say, this might pave the way for a whole new world in the rebooted DC Cinematic Universe. Intrigued? You should be!
Now, lean in for the cast gossip: David Corenswet is our new Clark Kent/Superman – can you feel the excitement?! Alongside him, Rachel Brosnahan is stepping into Lois Lane’s shoes, with Nicholas Hoult as the infamous Lex Luthor. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
But wait, there’s more! Filming kicked off in March 2024, so you know it’s all starting to get real. However, what’s Superman without a little mystery? The plot is being kept so secret; you’d think it was stashed away in the Fortress of Solitude. Yet, hints suggest we’re skipping the yawn-worthy origin story and diving straight into Superman action.
Word on the street (okay, mostly from Gunn himself) is that we’re seeing a Superman who’s got a few miles under his cape already. And while the vibe seems to nod towards “Kingdom Come,” we’re probably in for some fresh twists because hey, it’s James Gunn.
Curious about when we’ll get a sneak peek? Keep those eyes peeled in early 2025. And for those eager to binge-watch every Superman flick before this juggernaut hits, you’ve got your usual haunts: Max for the folks in the US, Sky across the pond in the UK, and a mix of Binge/Foxtel for the Aussies.
Now, let’s talk future talk. “Superman” is undoubtedly setting the stage for more DCU Chapter One shenanigans, including a potential setup for “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” and “The Authority.” And let’s not forget the TV realm, with “Lanterns” possibly getting a nudge from our Kryptonian hero.
So, there you have it, folks. A whirlwind sneak-peek into what’s shaping up to be one heck of a Superman movie. Mark your calendars for July 2025 and get ready to soar with the Man of Steel. Who’s excited? I know I am!
