Superman, formerly known as Superman: Legacy, is directed by acclaimed American writer / filmmaker James Gunn, who now runs DC Studios and directed the movies Slither, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, DC’s The Suicide Squad previously, plus this year’s Creature Commandos series; he also wrote the screenplay for Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead film and Greg McLean’s The Belko Experiment. The screenplay is also by James Gunn; based on characters from DC Comics created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. Produced by Peter Safran and James Gunn for DC Studios. Warner Bros opens Gunn’s Superman movie in theaters worldwide on July 11th, 2025 this summer. Still looking good? Who’s ready?
