Yes, folks! Superman is back on the big screen in grand style! The highly anticipated Superman movie promises to mark a new era for the most iconic hero in comics, now under the leadership of the revamped DC Studios. If you, like me, grew up cheering for the Man of Steel saving the world (and destroying a few buildings along the way), stick around because I’m going to tell you everything about this release: where to watch, cast, release date, fun facts, and much more!
Superman release date
Mark your calendar: Superman will hit theaters worldwide on July 10, 2025. That’s right! The American summer is going to heat up with this release, which also promises to fill theaters across the globe and, of course, dominate social media with memes, theories, and lots of excitement.
The movie is one of the big bets of the new DC Universe (DCU), led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, and will be the first feature film of a new phase for DC heroes.
Where to watch Superman?
If you’re wondering where to watch Superman, the answer is: first in theaters! That’s right, the movie will have an exclusive big screen release, so start prepping your popcorn and gather your friends for that epic movie session.
But don’t worry, after its theatrical run, the movie will be available on Max, the official streaming service of Warner Bros. Discovery. So, if you’re the kind of person who prefers to binge from the couch, soon you’ll be able to watch and rewatch it as many times as you want.
Subscribe to Max here! That way, you’ll get access not only to Superman but also the entire DC catalog, including classics like Batman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, plus series, animations, and much more!
What to expect from Superman?
Get ready for a renewed Superman! The movie, also known as “Superman: Legacy“, promises to present a new vision of the hero, closer to the classic comics but with a modern and emotional touch.
According to James Gunn himself, the movie’s director and writer, the story will explore Clark Kent’s dilemma in trying to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his life as a human. So, expect plenty of action scenes, yes, but also deep reflections on identity, belonging, and responsibility.
And of course, get ready to see a more inspiring Superman, with that spirit of hope that we all love, quite different from the darker versions we’ve seen in recent years.
Superman cast: who’s who?
The Superman cast is making waves! Choosing the new Superman was one of the most talked-about processes in recent years.
Who is the new Superman?
The lead role went to David Corenswet, an actor many are already calling “the perfect Superman.” With his classic look — black hair, kind eyes, and an imposing physique — Corenswet promises to bring back that more “hopeful” vibe of the Man of Steel.
And who plays Lois Lane?
None other than Rachel Brosnahan, star of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”! She promises to be a charismatic, intelligent, and full-of-attitude Lois Lane, just as she has always been in the best comic book storylines.
Other confirmed names:
- Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, one of the most iconic (and… annoying) Green Lanterns, haha.
- Isabela Merced as the heroine Hawkgirl.
- Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.
- Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.
So, besides Superman, the movie will introduce several other heroes from the DC universe, giving it that Justice League flavor we all love!
Who is directing Superman?
Direction is by none other than James Gunn, who, let’s be honest, knows everything about superhero movies. After all, he gave us “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Suicide Squad”, right?
Now, at DC, Gunn promises to bring that same balance of action, humor, and emotion, creating a Superman that respects the legacy of the character but also introduces him to a new generation.
Fun facts about Superman
- First movie of the new DCU: Superman is officially the start of the new shared universe of DC, which will continue with other movies and series already planned.
- Goodbye, Henry Cavill: This will be the first Superman movie without Henry Cavill since 2013. Choosing a new actor sparked a lot of controversy, but the goal is precisely to renew and reorganize the timeline.
- Filming and practical effects: James Gunn revealed that he plans to use plenty of practical effects, avoiding relying exclusively on CGI. So, we can expect more realistic and impactful action scenes!
- Inspiration: Gunn stated that he was inspired by classic comic book stories like “All-Star Superman” and “Superman for All Seasons,” portraying the hero as a symbol of hope and kindness.
Will Superman have post-credit scenes?
Although not officially confirmed yet, it’s practically certain that Superman will have post-credit scenes. After all, we’re talking about the start of a new cinematic universe, and these scenes are perfect for introducing new characters, villains, or simply leaving that teasing anticipation for the next DC films.
So you already know: don’t get up from your seat until the last song ends!
How can this movie change DC in cinemas?
After years of trial and error, it seems that DC has finally found a clear path. Superman is the first step of this new journey.
The idea is to build a cohesive and planned universe, just as Marvel did. And starting with Superman makes perfect sense: he’s the greatest hero of all, the symbol of hope, the one who inspires all the others.
Moreover, with James Gunn at the helm, fans are more confident that DC will finally get the tone right: less dark and confusing, more fun, epic, and emotional.
When will Superman arrive on streaming?
While the premiere will be exclusive to theaters in July, Warner’s movies usually land on Max about 45 to 90 days after release. So, between August and September 2025, you should already be able to watch the movie from home.
