James Gunn’s “Superman” Takes Flight With First Motion Poster

Talk about soaring into Monday with a head full of perfectly coifed hair. The first poster, but static and motion, for James Gunn’s Superman is here. David Corenswet is front and center as the Man of Steel, with the poster flying ahead of the trailer, which is reportedly going to bow this week. There is zero doubt that Superman will be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, film of 2025, set to premiere on July 11, 2025.

Corenswet is joined by Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the irrepressible spitfire who is not only Clark Kent’s equal, but just as courageous as Superman himself, less the ability to fly or shoot lasers out of her eyes. The main antagonist is the iconic villain Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult (who was in the running for the role of Superman himself).

Gunn has once again assembled an ensemble of well-known and lesser-known superheroes and sidekicks, as he’s done many times in his career, only now in the first feature film out of a new look DC Studios that he’s co-running with Peter Safran. The cast includes Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), the Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathigi), Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio), Perry White (Wendell Pierce), and more. Gunn directs from a script that he wrote himself.
