Happy belated birthday, Kal-El. The announcement of James Gunn’s Superman movie officially entering production in Norway marks an exciting milestone for fans of the iconic superhero and the DC Universe as a whole. The decision to simplify the title to Superman and the glimpse of the new Superman suit add to the anticipation surrounding the project.
Gunn shared the post on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday.
When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025.”
With David Corenswet portraying the titular character, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, along with a talented supporting cast, expectations are high for this new interpretation of the beloved characters. The inclusion of Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, María Gabriela De Faría as the Engineer, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and others promises a diverse and dynamic ensemble.
The emphasis on Superman as a pivotal launch point for the new DC Universe, coupled with other projects like Creature Commandos and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, indicates a broader narrative vision that fans can look forward to exploring.
