A little over two years ago, when Guardians of the Galaxy maker James Gunn became the co-head of DC Studios, it was announced that the first feature that he and partner Peter Safran would greenlight would be a Superman reboot. Directed by Gunn, based on his script, the film, which introduces David Corenswet, as Clark Kent/Superman, will be in theatres on July 11, 2025.

It’s a story about humanity; about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn’t always make it easy to be one, Gunn had said in a video message ahead of the release of the teaser trailer that came out earlier today. If the response to the trailer is anything to go by, audiences are absolutely digging the filmmaker’s version of Superman.
