James Gunn, writer and director of the upcoming Superman film, announced on social media that production has officially wrapped. Along with the announcement, Gunn expressed gratitude to the cast and crew, sharing a heartfelt message and a photo from the first week of filming in Svalbard, Norway. He highlighted the positive and supportive environment on set, which helped him push through the challenges of the production process.
Gunn’s message emphasized the theme of the movie, focusing on a good man in a complex world. He thanked everyone involved in the project, acknowledging their commitment, creativity, and hard work. His social media post included a photo and a tweet, which further expressed his appreciation and the honor he felt working with such a dedicated team.
The Superman film, initially titled Superman: Legacy, is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025. Despite concerns about potential delays due to last year’s writers’ and actors’ strikes, Gunn confirmed in November that the release date would not be affected. The completion of filming indicates that the project remains on schedule for its planned release date.
As the co-CEO of DC Studios, Gunn has been actively engaging with fans on social media, providing updates on the development of the new DC Universe (DCU). He recently confirmed that Superman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow are the only two DC Studios films currently in production, with Supergirl set to release on June 26, 2026. At San Diego Comic-Con, Gunn debuted the new DC Studios logo and the first teaser for the animated series Creature Commandos, marking the first project from his revamped DCU.
The film features a star-studded cast, including David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. The diverse ensemble promises a dynamic and engaging portrayal of the iconic characters from the DC Universe.
