James Gunn Reveals New Title for SUPERMAN: LEGACY and Official Look at Suit Logo
James Gunn has announced that Superman: Legacy has a new title and that title is simply… Superman. He also shared a photo giving fans their first official look at the logo on Superman’s suit.
Gunn shared this information as he starts production on the film and the photo came along with the following note from the filmmaker:
Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday.
When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025.
Well, I hope that Gunn makes a great Superman movie! That’s all I want, a great movie that tells, an awesome, fun, and exciting story. A story that also uplifts and inspires. I think Gunn has what it takes to pull off an amazing Superman movie and I can’t wait to see the story he tells!
Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
