Writer-director James Gunn is taking on the classic comic book hero for his first feature film as the co-head of DC Studios.
When Gunn and co-head Peter Safran announced their plan for the new DC Universe, beginning with their Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate, Safran described their updated take on Clark Kent/Superman. While it's not an origin story, the film -- originally announced as Superman: Legacy -- will focus on the character "balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing."
The Politician's David Corenswet takes on the cape in Superman as the Man of Steel, aka Clark Kent, with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan as his Lois Lane.
The star-studded cast also features Milly Alcock, Isabela Merced, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, Skyler Gisondo, Wendell Pierce, Beck Bennett and more.
After appearing in four X-Men films as Henry "Hank" McCoy- Beast, Hoult is returning to the superhero genre as Superman's main antagonist, with Gunn promising the English actor's take on the character will be "a Lex that will be different from anything you've seen before and will never forget."
The film is set to the be the first under the new DCU, led by Gunn and Safran, and the first film in their planned Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate.
Very little is known about the plot, however, Gunn has announced that while it is not an origin story, it will explore the divide between Superman's Kryptonian heritage and his Earthly upbringing in Kansas. He also shared that Corenswet's take on Clark Kent is approximately 25 years old in the film -- making him older than Tom Welling's high school version of the character in Smallville, but younger than Henry Cavill's version from the DC Universe.
The film is set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025. Are you excited for new Superman?
