The highly anticipated Superman film, directed by James Gunn, is set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025, marking the official launch of the new DC Universe.

David Corenswet will portray Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult taking on the role of Lex Luthor.

Gunn, known for his work on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, is both writing and directing this new take on Superman.

Despite being the first film in a new cinematic universe, Gunn emphasizes that 'Superman' will focus on its own narrative rather than serving as a setup for future projects.

The film will explore Superman's origin story, detailing his journey from Krypton to Earth and his upbringing in Kansas.

It will also delve into the complexities of Clark Kent's duality as he navigates his Kryptonian heritage alongside his human upbringing.

A new motion poster featuring the tagline 'Look up' has been released, accompanied by a stirring rendition of John Williams' iconic Superman theme.

Fans can expect the first teaser trailer to be released before December 20, 2024, with updates and surprises anticipated on io9.

Gunn has decided to include Superman's classic red trunks in the costume, aiming to present him as an approachable figure for children.

The film will depict Lex Luthor's deep-seated hatred for Superman from the outset, while Lois Lane is already familiar with the superhero.

The film's score, composed by John Murphy, will prioritize a thematic approach over a song-driven soundtrack, with nods to Williams' work.

In addition to Superman, upcoming projects in the DC Universe include a Supergirl film and an HBO series titled Lanterns, expanding the narrative landscape.
