Director James Gunn revealed the news on the film’s first day of shooting alongside a close-up image of the Man of Steel’s costume; the film flies into theaters July 11, 2025.
The ‘Barry’ star heads to the DCU; also joining the James Gunn helmed ‘Gods and Monsters’ DCU flick are Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, and Nathan Fillion.
While the new DCU flick was originally touted as an origin story, the amateur journalist-meets-moonlighting superhero will be a mature 30 years old.
David Corenswet will portray the swoon-worthy alien from Krypton, while Rachel Brosnahan will play his journalist love interest and co-lead in the upcoming new DCU origin story written and directed by James Gunn.
The first title from James Gunn and Peter Safran’s ‘Gods & Monsters’ chapter of the franchise stars David Harbour, Indira Varma, Alan Tudyk, Maria Bakalova, Zoe Chao, Steve Agee, and others, set to stream in 2024.
The Co-CEO of DC Studios will helm his own script for the upcoming ‘Superman’ franchise reboot, which will feature a young version of the Man of Steel.
