Superman Movie (2025) : A New Dawn for the Man of Steel | Warner Bros. Pictures | Full Movie Review
SUPERMAN (2025) 🔥 Superman (2025) is an upcoming American superhero film based on the iconic DC Comics character. Written and directed by James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, this film marks the highly anticipated launch of the new DC Universe (DCU), aiming to deliver a fresh take on the Man of Steel after previous cinematic iterations. It stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The film is not a traditional origin story but rather focuses on Clark Kent's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas, and his life as a cub reporter for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. At around 25 years old, this Superman is already established as a superhero, but he's still navigating his dual identity and the complexities of his values in a world that might see kindness as old-fashioned. The plot delves into Superman's efforts to balance his personal life, including a budding romance with Lois Lane, with his responsibilities as Earth's protector. He will confront his arch-nemesis, the brilliant but menacing Lex Luthor, who is confirmed as the main villain. The film also introduces several other DC characters, including other superheroes like Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Guy Gardner / Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), and Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), as well as villains like The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría) and Lex Luthor's assistant Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio). James Gunn has stated that the film draws inspiration from various comic book runs, notably Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's All-Star Superman.
