More details about Superman
James Gunn’s 2025 reboot of Superman blasts onto screens as the first film in the bold new DC Universe, shaking up the Man of Steel’s legacy with a fresh and thrilling take. David Corenswet stars as Clark Kent, aka Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luthor, and a star-studded cast for Superman's Justice Gang, including Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.
The film takes a different route than most superhero flicks. Here, Superman faces major consequences after stepping into an international conflict orchestrated by Lex Luthor, forcing him to fight not only villains but also public opinion.
The journey to this bold reboot was anything but smooth. After Man of Steel’s sequel plans fizzled post-Justice League chaos, James Gunn swooped in 2022, teaming up with Peter Safran to reboot DC Studios and rewrite the rules. Superman has so far received positive reviews from fans and critics, who have praised the film's hopeful, colorful, and more comic-accurate portrayal. The film has raked up $579.2 million in numbers and is one of the highest-performing films of the year.
In the story, Superman halts a war in Boravia but soon discovers a cryptic message from his Kryptonian parents urging conquest, sparking public distrust. Betrayed and trapped in a pocket universe by Luthor, he escapes with help and leads an epic battle against Luthor’s metahumans in Metropolis. With justice restored and his name cleared, Superman finds hope in unexpected family ties, setting the stage for the next chapter of the DC Universe.
Superman is now in theaters and will reach digital screens on 15 August.
