“He saves people because it’s the right thing to do. We could use a little bit more of that…” DC has unveiled an exciting behind-the-scenes featurette for James Gunn’s new Superman movie in celebration of it being Superman Day today (which is actually June 12th though also apparently April 18th, too). This spectacular new video features tons of extra behind-the-scenes shots. Written & directed by Gunn, David Corenswet (from “We Own This City”, Twisters) stars as Clark Kent / Supes in this new movie – reconciling his heritage with his human upbringing in Kansas. The full cast includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Luthor, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk (whose voice you can hear as one of the automatons), Pruitt Taylor Vince, & Neva Howell. The more footage they show, the better this looks. One of my most anticipated summer 2025 movies! Even if you’re not a huge Superman fan, it’s hard to not be excited when there’s this much enthusiasm and passion from everyone involved in making it. Always cool to see the massive sets & cameras used making big movies.

The superhero film explores Clark Kent / Superman’s (starring David Corenswet) journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his adoptive human family in Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way in a world that views this as old-fashioned. Superman, formerly known as Superman: Legacy, is directed by acclaimed American writer / filmmaker James Gunn, who now runs DC Studios and directed the movies Slither, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, DC’s The Suicide Squad previously, plus this year’s Creature Commandos series; he also wrote the screenplay for Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead film and Greg McLean’s The Belko Experiment. The screenplay is also by James Gunn; based on characters from DC Comics created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. Produced by Peter Safran and James Gunn for DC Studios. Warner Bros opens Gunn’s Superman movie in theaters worldwide on July 11th, 2025 this summer. Still looking good? Who’s ready?
