James Gunn confirms Superman: Legacy will arrive on this date

Following the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, a number of highly-anticipated releases have been rescheduled from their original dates. However, James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios and director of the upcoming project, Superman: Legacy, has confirmed that the film will still be released on its previously announced date of July 11, 2025, without any changes.

Taking to his X handle, Gunn wrote, "Thanks to the efforts of our talented crew, who never lost faith during the longest strikes in Hollywood history, and who never let their foot off the pedal, continuing to barrel forward, creating the most amazing character and set designs I've seen in my entire career, Superman Legacy will be making the originally planned release date of July 11, 2025." 

Superman: Legacy will star David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Clark Kent, aka Superman, and Lois Lane, respectively. The film also stars Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho. 

Besides direction, James has also written the script of the film. He had earlier clarified that the upcoming film will not trace the origin story of Clark Kent. The film will be the first of the new DC Universe projects announced under James and Peter Safran's leadership and will be a part of Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.

The film will go on floors in 2024
