James Gunn’s next Superman film is in the can and ready to hit theaters on July 9, 2025. To celebrate the birthday of a character who will appear in the feature film, we are entitled to two previews.
Last July, director James Gunn (Terrible, The suicide squad) posted a picture with some actors from his Superman film at the end of filming. “And it’s in the box!” God bless our cast and crew whose dedication, creativity and hard work made this project a success.” he said on Instagram. Now everyone is waiting for the first official trailer. Will Henry Cavill’s successor be up to the task? That’s the big question!
A character from the Superman movie appears
Since there was no trailer for James Gunn’s Superman movie, numerous images from the filming were stolen from us. Some of the footage was shot outdoors in Cleveland, which certainly piqued the curiosity of local residents. The leaks were so significant that James Gunn had to speak out to reassure fans. « [Superman n’a donc pas été irrémédiablement spoilé à cause des leaks du tournage ?] Not even a little bit. I’ll never shoot a big spoiler out in the middle of the city.” he replied to an Internet user this summer.
So we got the first shot of David Corenswet as Clark Kent in the new Superman movie and glimpses of Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl and even Guy Gardner. A few hours ago, James Gunn exclusively revealed two images of a popular character, Jimmy Olsen. The photographer and best friend of Clark Kent, played by Skyler Gisondo (The Amazing Spiderman, Night at the Museum…).
“Happy birthday to Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s friend who debuted in 1941 (though he appeared earlier as an office boy in Action Comics 6). Can’t wait to see Skyler Gisondo’s interpretation in Superman on July 11, 2025” the filmmaker explained to accompany these photos. Note that James Gunn speaks of July 11, 2025 for the release of Superman, but this is the American date. In France, unless there is a change, the film will clearly be in theaters from July 9, 2025.
