USD superhero franchise, so what do I know? Its release date has also been pushed back a bit, and is now set for July 25, 2025, which is when Knight Rider was originally expected to be released (despite casting issues, Knight Rider stole the show from Fantastic Four “The Man” was originally scheduled to be released on May 2, 2025).
