James Gunn's SUPERMAN is Said To Be "A Complete Shift to Hardcore Sci-Fi and Fantasy"
Some interesting new details have emerged regarding James Gunn’s DC Studios project Superman, which a lot of fans are excited and curious about.
Before we get into the new intel, what we do know is that this film 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.”
The following insight on the film comes from Hollywood scooper Daniel Richtman, who heard that Superman is "fantastic" and he calls it "a complete shift to hardcore sci-fi and fantasy, the exact opposite of Man of Steel."
He added: "It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU."
"The DCU will feature various projects set across different timelines, not just present day. So more in line with the approach of Star Wars than Marvel."
I actually really like this concept and it will be fun to see how Gunn handles all of this and brings it to life, it’s definitely an interesting DC world for Gunn and the other filmmakers he brings in to explore and play in, a world where “heroes have been around for ages.”
Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane; Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio, as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.
Superman will launch the movie part of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
