Ever since Gunn was announced, some fans have been pushing the narrative that Snyder was somehow usurped by the Guardians of the Galaxy director, and Gunn has decided to lay any rumors about bad blood with Snyder to rest by posting a photo with him. Check this out:

As for why Gunn shared the photo, he tells Variety, “We knew that people have this view that somehow we have been pitted against each other… It’s odd to have someone who you’re friendly with in real life be the guy that is positioned as your Lex Luthor, or I’m his Lex Luthor. It’s just such a weird dynamic that’s been created between factions online.”

There’s no statement from Snyder’s end, but he’s surely just as sick of the ‘Snyder cultists’ as Gunn is, with them spreading toxicity on every DC post and touting Snyder as some kind of DC messiah.

As someone who was actively rooting for Snyder and was even supporting the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League, it was certainly a bummer that Snyder was officially fired and Gunn didn’t decide to just continue the timeline; it especially hurt after all that anticipation with Henry Cavill’s Superman returning in Black Adam.

Though it’s understandable that a ground-zero reboot would get rid of any canon inconsistencies, it just feels exhausting to have followed all of the DC films since Man of Steel only to go back to square one.

If anything, a lot of people have faith in Gunn. Who knows, maybe if Elseworlds is established, Snyder (and Suicide Squad director David Ayer) can have another stab at some DC films even if they’re out of the main DC Studios timeline.

For now, fans wait for Superman which comes to theaters on July 11.

We don’t have any official details for the movie yet, but it has been said that Alcock’s Kara Zor-El is going to be making a small appearance in Superman. Plus, we know that Aquaman Jason Momoa is attached to the movie in the role of space bounty hunter Lobo.

Looking at the photo, some fans also assume that the ‘S’ logo with the blue inside it is going to be Supergirl’s logo on her costume. It’s unclear what her final look in the movie is going to be, but it has been said that she has a more punk inspiration like the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Though she may have only starred in a few episodes of House of the Dragon, Alcock is considered to be pretty magnetic, and a lot of fans were happy that she landed the part of Supergirl. Personally I was hoping for her to get the live-action role of Spider-Gwen, but she may very well reach her 30s before Sony decides to introduce that character into live-action.

In the meantime, it looks like DC Studios is moving forward unencumbered. With the previous DCEU having a very well-documented shit-show of a production, fans are hoping that Gunn and his co-head Peter Safran have a good idea of how to future-proof their superhero universe.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to release in theaters on June 26, 2026.

As it turns out, Momoa is getting his wish, and The Hollywood Reporter confirms that he’ll be playing the part of alien bounty hunter Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. There hasn’t been much details revealed about the role, but Momoa will be starring alongside Milly Alcock, who is best known for playing the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of House of the Dragon.

Interestingly enough, the role that brought Momoa to the spotlight was that of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones where he was also paired up with a Targaryen princess.

For context, Lobo was created in the 80s by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and he’s essentially an immortal space biker who can go toe-to-toe with Superman. He’s belligerent and rude, and occasionally a little funny—kind of like Marvel’s Deadpool that doesn’t break the fourth wall too much.

With Momoa’s offscreen persona as this long-haired muscle bro, the role of Lobo does seem like the perfect fit for him. Admittedly, I was invested in Zack Snyder’s version of Aquaman before he got all jokey, but maybe Momoa has something interesting to bring with this character.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is expected to come to theatres in June 26, 2026. Alock is expected to make an appearance in Superman which comes out July 11, 2025.

Having worked on both franchise, Grillo talks about how enthusiastic he is to be jumping over to DC after his run with Marvel. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, he says:

“They’re very different… Marvel’s a different machine, and it’s great in its own right, but the thing I love about James’ and Peter’s DC is that it’s much more contained. It’s so much more personal and I really enjoy it better. I just love being part of something in the embryonic stage and being able to grow with it and watch it and flourish.”

Admittedly, Grillo did not have the most major part when he was working with Marvel, and was kind of the face of the villain’s muscle when he was introduced in Winter Soldier. Sure he was able to put on his comic-inspired outfit in Civil War, but he was eventually killed off in the first act.

Even then, I think that Grillo did his best to be memorable in the films, and he seems like a great choice for Rick Flagg Sr. Though we’ve seen the animated version essentially take the place of the original Rick Flagg, we’ve yet to see Grillo appear as the character in live-action. We’ll have to wait for Superman to come out in July before we can see that.

From that point, we should expect Grillo to appear in subsequent movies as Flagg. Hopefully they do something more with him than just being another muscle for the main villain (this time Amanda Waller).

Grillo is in Creature Commandos now streaming on Max.

Talking to The Wrap, Gunn reveals a little about the new set-up and how everything is different by the time audiences meet David Corenswet’s Clark Kent. He says, “We just start in the middle of the action. Superman already exists. Lois and Clark already know each other.”

Though the relationship between Lois and Superman is already present in the movie, it looks like rivalry with Luthor is yet to begin. Gunn continues, “Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally… So we start right in the middle of the action. It takes place over a short amount of time.”

Gunn can’t reveal much about the story, but it does seem that the relationship between Lois and Clark is going to be at the very heart of Superman. So many people already have an ideal dynamic for the couple, but Gunn does tease that their relationship will be different this time around. “The relationship between David and Rachel’s [characters] on screen is something I don’t think we’ve seen in… It’s a complicated relationship and we really get into it and there’s long scenes that are about their relationship and the way they relate and what it would be like for a person who’s this incredibly intelligent, strong-headed, stubborn, skeptical journalist, to have a relationship with someone who can lift a skyscraper.”

Though Superman may be the star of the show, the fact that they’ve cast Rachel Brosnahan—who is arguably more famous than Corenswet—as Lois could mean that she’s the one who’s going to be commanding a lot of the scenery whenever she’s around Clark.

Then again, this is just speculation, so until the trailer comes out this week, all we can really do is guess.

Superman is set to come out in theatres on July 11, 2025.

Though the theme does sound new, it’s actually John Williams’ original Superman theme, but slowed down. It has been said that Williams’ original score will be part of the 2025 movie, and the composer John Murphy (The Suicide Squad) is going to be incorporating it into what could be a wholly original theme. Here’s the original Williams score just to compare:

Music has always been essential to the characterization of Superman, and that’s why his theme from the original movie is still so iconic. That being said, I did love that the DCEU did attempt at giving each hero original themes. Hans Zimmer’s score for Man of Steel was a great follow-up, and even Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman theme has its own place in the fandom’s heart.

The pressure is on for Gunn and Peter Safran to deliver a new DCU, and after middling reviews for Creature Commandos, people are hoping that Superman manages to be something different from Gunn this time. After Guardians, his signature bits have started to get obvious to a lot of his fans.

Watch out for Superman when it soars into theatres on July 11, 2025.

Just in, a new trailer has been dropped for Harley Quinn Season 5, and it has Gotham in ruins, with Harley and Ivy deciding to move to the shining beacon of tomorrow which is Metropolis. Check this out:

Though Harley and Ivy do move to a new city, it does look like a lot of the old cast is back from Gotham with Bane, King Shark, and Clayface still hanging around. With Metropolis though, it does bring in some more familiar characters like Lois Lane, and of course, Superman.

There’s also the looming threat of Superman villain Brainiac who is always up to some kind of world-ending shenanigans. It’s even so bad that the Joker is teaming up with everyone just to stop him.

Admittedly DC is currently in a transition period with the live-action films, but the animation front has always been steady. Besides the occasionally released animated films based on comic properties, shows like Harley Quinn continue to add some more variety in DC entries with it filling the void for adult comedy shows—even Marvel doesn’t have that with all their Disney+ success.

Harley Quinn Season 5 is set to premiere on Max on Jan. 16, 2025.

Just in, Gunn has shared a new image of Superman and Krypto from the movie, and shares how he came up with an arc for the alien dog. Check this out:

A post shared by James Gunn (@jamesgunn)

As it turns out, Gunn got the idea of adding Krypto to the script after adopting his new dog named Ozu. Ozu apparently was rescued from a hoarder’s nest and was a bit of a problem dog for a while, but it eventually warmed up to Gunn and his home.

So far, depictions of Krypto have been pretty much just presented a dog that had Superman’s personality, but it would be interesting to see a version of him that doesn’t start out good, but was eventually influenced by Superman to be a more peaceful creature.

After the disappointing box office of Joker: Folie a Deux, the pressure is now on for Gunn to deliver with his Superman movie. We don’t know exactly how he plans to flesh out this world yet, but it does look like David Corenswet’s Superman is going to be thrust into a world that’s already rife with superheroes like Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern.

With a release set for July, it will probably be a while before we get a first look at the film. Fingers crossed we get a teaser before the year ends.

Superman soars into theatres on July 11, 2025.

What’s funny is, Nanjiani has posted this new video on his socials that points out just how horny the original 1978 Superman was. Check this out:

TLDR Superman's horny pic.twitter.com/baF2Zj54d6

— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) October 8, 2024

The video basically has Nanjiani breaking down a scene between Superman and Lois Lane where Lois and Superman kind of flirt back at each other—slowly escalating to new levels of horny. So horny that Superman makes a comment on the color of Lois’ underwear and she asks him if he likes it.

For context without the commentary, here’s the scene from the film:

Admittedly, a lot of the flirty exchange will fly right over kids’ heads, but Nanjiani was able to point out all of the very subtle innuendos from Lois asking how ‘big’ Superman is, to him just blurting out ‘Pink’ when he does get a look at Lois’ underwear.

We don’t know how David Corenswet’s Superman is going to be, but Gunn has said that this Superman was a great inspiration or him and his entire career. While we do know that this new Superman is going to be ‘brighter’ than the one Henry Cavill was onscreen, it’s curious what exactly his dynamic with new Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is going to be.

This was his post on Twitter:

Happy Anniversary to Superman’s pal, Jimmy Olsen, who debuted on this day in 1941 (although he did appear earlier as “office boy” in Action Comics 6). Created by Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster & Bob Maxwell. I can’t wait for you to see @SkylerGisondo’s portrayal in #Superman on July… pic.twitter.com/PG7DdF7QSL

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) August 25, 2024

In the comics, Jimmy Olsen was a photographer for the Daily Planet, and was considered to be Superman’s best friend. What’s integral to Jimmy’s character is that he’s just a normal human, but he’s managed to get himself involved with things that only Superman usually deals with.

On the big screen, the character of Jimmy Olsen had been played by Marc McClure and Sam Huntington in the Christopher Reeve timeline. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Jimmy is played by Michael Cassidy. While Jimmy has usually just been a friend to Clark/Superman, the BvS version does a huge overhaul for his character in that he’s actually a CIA agent who pretends to be a photographer for Lois Lane before he gets found out and shot.

With so many Superman fans feeling that Jimmy had deserved better treatment in the DCEU, a lot are hoping that Gizondo’s Jimmy is treated much better by Gunn. After all, he’s supposed to be the stand-in for the younger audiences, and not only is he a good friend of Superman, but he’s also Lois’ underling—helping flesh out the Daily Planet team that Clark is a part of.

Superman is set to release in theatres July 11, 2025.

Just in, WB Pictures has dropped a trailer for the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve story, which looks to tell the story of Reeve during his rise as a pop-culture figure, and after his fateful accident which left his whole body paralyzed. Check this out:

The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care – all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.

It’s actually quite amazing that Reeve managed to keep trudging along after his accident. He may have been at the peak of his physicality when he was Superman, but nobody was expecting him to actually help inspire others like him after he got into an accident.

Not only does the documentary feature members of Reeves’ family, but there are also other actors and peers who knew him personally, talking about how it was like for Reeves before and after he lost control of his body.

With a new Superman set to hit theaters next year, it’s pretty great to look back and see who was in the role before and how they managed to affect some real-world change.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is set to come out in theaters on Sept. 21.

With leaks going around online like wildfire, Cavill has decided to officially share a look at him as Logan in costume—complete with cigar. Check this out:

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

It’s funny because the caption, “To be safe, I shaved the moustache off for this one. Just the moustache,” is a jab at him working on Justice League. Infamously, he was told he wasn’t allowed to shave of his moustache for the reshoots, and the studio was forced to spend millions to have the facial hair digitally removed—and it didn’t even look great in the final product.

As for his appearance in Wolverine, this would probably lead to a lot of fans demanding that Cavill play the MCU Wolverine moving forward. With his Warhammer series possibly going into creative limbo, maybe Cavill can be free enough to actually have a solid spot in the MCU; but it’s possible that he’s still too closely tied to Superman so Marvel may want someone else to really embody the role.

I really just hope that Deadpool’s joke about Jackman ‘doing this until he’s 90’ isn’t going to be taken seriously by any of the Marvel execs. As for Cavill, fingers are crossed that he manages to nab a role that will treat him right soon.

And that’s a wrap.
God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis… pic.twitter.com/9Y52HEVXpF

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 30, 2024

It’s not clear which location Gunn and his crew are shooting at, but where there’s snow, some are always going to guess that this is somewhere near the Fortress of Solitude. It also looks like the scene only involves David Corenswet’s Superman and Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.

This is just my guess, but I think the two could be shooting a scene where Clark Kent is covering Lex Luthor who is on some kind of research mission. Then again, there could be ten things that could be happening between the most iconic rivalry in pop-culture, but my money is still on the snow area being the place for Superman’s alien Fortress base.

Maybe Lex is researching the mysterious Superman, and Clark volunteers to escort him with the actual intention to keep him off his scent? I’m just spitballin’.

With a release set for next July, some think that Superman is going to be showing its first teaser sometime early 2025. With production having wrapped though, there could be a chance that DC drops some kind of teaser later within the year. I’m guessing around October to time it with previous DC FanDomes or sometime around December to keep hype for the holidays.

For now, Superman is set to release in theatres on July 11, 2025.

We know that there are several other heroes showing up in the movie, and some set photos (via Cleveland.com) have just revealed a look at Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Corps. member Guy Gardner. Check this out:

Not only do we get a look at Gardner, but the set photos have also revealed Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl. She doesn’t have the practical wings, but it does look like all three JSA members (including Mr. Terrific) are wearing uniforms.

Fans have also pointed out that each uniform I also sporting the Lordtech logo—as in DC villain Maxwell Lord. We know that Lex Luthor is going to show up in the film, but it does look like James Gunn is going to be kickstarting his new DC with established heroes and villains, and Max Lord can very well be running his own superteam as a PR stunt while Lex has his own nefarious plans going on at LexCorp.

It’s unclear how Gunn wants to approach his rebooted DCU, but seeing how Marvel has kind of stumbled since Endgame, it’s possible that Gunn and his writers team are thinking about a different way to approach the superhero franchise while making it future-proof.

We may not be seeing a Justice League team-up in the next couple of years, but hopefully Gunn has found a way to bring back the hype for superheroes after the alleged slump the genre has been on for the past few years.

Superman comes to cinemas on July 11, 2025.

— liz (@shuIkie) June 25, 2024

With Superman usually being portrayed as a sturdy, invincible figure, it has been a storytelling tradition to have the Clark Kent persona be a bit more clumsy in order to keep everyone off the scent of Clark’s alter ego.

Oddly enough, Zack Snyder’s version of Clark Kent was still pretty serious and he pretty much kept the same hairstyle as Superman; but I do appreciate that James Gunn is going back to one of the core personalities of the character that we haven’t seen on the big screen in a while.

With a look at Clark in the movie, I’m now excited to see the rest of the characters of the Daily Planet. If Batman has his Bat-Family, the characters that make up the Daily Planet are Clark’s version of his work family, what with Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White.

It’s only a matter of time before we get to see just how Rachel Brosnahan brings her Lois to life.

Besides Superman, the movie will also be featuring other established superheroes in DC. We don’t have images of Hawkgirl or Green Lantern, but we do have a look at Mister Terrific played by Edi Gathegi:

https://twitter.com/the_whar/status/1805363232334295138

Going back to Superman, we can see just how brightly colored the outfit is in the sunlight. Not only does he have the signature trunks, but he’s also sporting the yellow belt as well. One particular element they also kept from the classic Superman designs is that he has the yellow shield on the back of the cape.

We don’t know how James Gunn plans to introduce this Superman to the big screen and his rebooted DCU, but it does look like he’s going to be running into a bunch of other heroes who could help him establish his role as a superhero.

With Zack Snyder’s incredibly serious take on the Man of Steel, it’s said that Corenswet’s Superman is going to be the more positive ‘beacon of hope’ that the character has always been throughout his comic book run.

Let’s just hope that Gunn’s passion for the project shines through and we get a completely original new take on Superman when he flies into theatres on July 11, 2025.

Just in, some set photos from the film have revealed a different look at David Corenswet in his Man of Steel get-up. Check this out:

New photos of David Corenswet as Superman pic.twitter.com/FXbXXik0QJ

It’s not the best photo quality, seeing that these were just zoomed in from prop newspapers from the set, but we can see Superman stopping a train, and a look at the red trunks that were being obscured in the officially released photo.

With the film coming out in July 11 next year, it’s possible that we could get some kind of tease or reveal at the one-year countdown mark next month, but that’s just wishful thinking on my part. With Superman being one of the biggest DC properties, it would make sense for WB to build up as much hype as they can and have everyone excited for when the film finally drops on release day.

For now, it does seem that Gunn’s plans for the DCU are still pretty vague, but it does seem that he’s going to be rebooting the DCU already filled with all kinds of heroes already established. Superman alone is set to have new versions of heroes like Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, and Green Lantern Guy Gardner. Let’s not also forget that we’re also getting Supergirl in the film right before she gets her own spinoff in the next year.

The new ‘S’ has been revealed for a while, but this time we actually have a look at the full suit. The biggest difference we can notice from previous iterations of Superman is that the suit for Corenswet has a collar which harkens to more modern iterations of the Man of Steel in the comics.

A lot of fans have also pointed out that the suit looks a lot baggier than previous supersuits—even going so far to say that it kind of looks like the blue uniforms from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

And though you can’t really see it, it’s said that this Superman is confirmed to come with the classic red trunks. We don’t know exactly how that incorporates into the suit, but it will be the first time we have Superman in trunks again since Superman Returns came out back in 2006.

Of course, we also shouldn’t ignore the background, which features some kind of giant eye shooting out a laser on the city. Some speculate that this is the Eye of Ekron from the comics—which is literally just a giant eye, but it could be something else entirely. Regardless of who it is, the point of the scene looks to be giving us a kind of day-in-the-life scene with Superman dressing up when a huge monster is a foot.

We don’t know when the next reveal is going to be, but people have already started buzzing for the arrival of this new Corenswet Superman.

Superman is set to release in theaters on July 11, 2025.

The second season is set to premiere this month, and we have a new trailer showcasing some new villains—specifically Superman’s comic nemesis Lex Luthor. Check this out:

The official synopsis for Season 2 reads:

“In the second season, the three best friends face a host of new threats. Powerful foes will emerge from Clark’s alien past, Amanda Waller will take aim at Superman, Lois will grapple with the future, and Jimmy Olsen will spend an unbelievable amount of money. Krypton is coming for our young heroes, and its arrival will test their strength, loyalty and love like never before.”

No doubt, Lex is the biggest reveal in the trailer, and just like his live-action counterpart, it looks like he’s going to be some kind of tech mogul. While Superman is known to look very strong and sturdy, this Lex is a bit scrawny and young; everyone is already wondering how he’s going to lose his hair, and they imagine it’s going to be brutal.

On the other hand, it does look like the world is starting to expand more outside of the City of Metropolis with the arrival of Amanda Waller. It could be a matter of time before we get this series version of Task Force X/Suicide Squad or a crossover with another hero.

The second season of My Adventures with Superman is set to premiere on Adult Swim and Max on May 25.

Deadline reports that Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) is currently in talks to helm the story of Kara Zor-El for DC Studios. We don’t know much about the story yet, but the production is said to start after James Gunn wraps on Superman which is currently filming.

With Superman having his boy scout image, everyone is kind of expecting Supergirl to have a more punk vibe—which is why Gillespie seems like the perfect match. After all, he’s directed films centered on women with not-so-clean personas.

https://youtu.be/d2iy5y0YjGM

Add to that he’s already worked with another DC star in the form of Margot Robbie a.k.a. DC’s original live-action Harley Quinn.

It’s unclear what kind of direction this new Supergirl can go, since the character has barely appeared in the big screen. The closest we have to a modern take is The CW series with Melissa Benoist, but even that has its own brand of camp which comes with the brand.

Hopefully Alcock’s new Supergirl will manage to be her own thing, and she can stand toe-to-toe with David Corenswet’s Man of Steel.

No release date has been set for Supergirl, but you can expect Kara to appear in Superman which hits theatres on July 11, 2025.
