Look, up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s the Superman release date, approaching faster than a speeding bullet. The newest attempt to launch the DC movie universe, with James Gunn at the helm and David Corenswet donning the cap, is about to land in cinemas around the world. Exactly when is Superman coming to theaters near you? We’re glad you asked.
We’ve been waiting years for a new Superman movie. Ever since DC confirmed that it wouldn’t be Henry Cavill returning to the iconic role, we’ve been eager to see the new direction that James Gunn would take the character. Well, the wait is almost over. Superman will be released on July 11, 2025, kicking off the summer blockbuster season in spectacular fashion.
James Gunn assures us that this is the true launch point of the DCU, despite last year’s Creature Commandos taking place in the same universe. As such, we expect to see plenty of familiar characters on the screen. In addition to Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen, we’re also going to see Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Supergirl make an appearance. Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, and, of course, Krypto the Superdog are all going to make their big screen debut. It is an exciting time to be a Superman fan.
Superman, starring David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult and directed by James Gunn, arrives in cinemas on July 11, 2025 around the world.
James Gunn's Superman movie is out now - and we have a lot to say about it. You can also read about Superman's S-Shield through the ages, how Superman and Clark Kent keep their secret identity secret, our recs for best Superman comics, and how to watch all his TV series and movies in order.
