A total mess,' Gunn revealed in an interview with ScreenRant. 'While Superman was raised in a loving and supportive environment, Supergirl's path has been far more traumatic. She's endured a darker, lonelier upbringing, and it shows in who she's become.'Initially announced in January 2023 as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the film takes inspiration from the acclaimed 2021–2022 comic book miniseries of the same name, as reported by NBC DFW.While the teaser poster does not confirm the final title, Warner Bros. and DC have slated the film for a June 26, 2026, release.

Top Hollywood Films of 2025 in India: Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning leads followed by F1 and Jurassic World Rebirth
Hollywood movies are doing great business in India this year—be it Tom Cruise's first installment of the Mission Impossible franchise or Brad Pitt's F1. Here are the top five highest grossing Hollywood movies at the Indian box office. Top Hollywood Films of 2025 in India: Mission Impossible 8 leads Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning, directed by Christopher Macquarie, stormed over Rs 113.50 crore gross in India in its entire run. The Tom Cruise starrer is currently ruling the charts. Interestingly, Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World Rebirth have crossed the Rs 100 crore mark today and are engaged in a neck-to-neck battle to take the second spot after the Tom Cruise movie. Currently standing at Rs 101.80 crore gross, the Joseph Kosinski-directed sports drama will likely wrap its theatrical run around Rs 110 crore, securing the second spot. While the dinosaur thriller is expected to wind up its entire run around Rs 107 crore, bagging the third spot in the list. It must be noted that Jurassic World: Rebirth currently holds the third spot with Rs 101.1 crore. However, if we include the 3D charges too, it will claim the first spot with a staggering total of Rs 114 crore, beating Mission Impossible 8. The next two spots belong to Final Destination: Bloodlines and Superman. While the former clocked over Rs 75 crore gross in India and emerged a successful venture, the latter underperformed. Directed by James Gunn, Superman currently stands at Rs 50.50 crore gross and is expected to wind up its lifetime run at Rs 55 crore gross in India, which means the movie will end up securing the fifth spot. Though Superman didn't perform to its full potential, it still managed to get a successful verdict at the box office. Had it opened with superlative box office, the David Corenswet starrer would have entered the Rs 100 crore club. Top 5 highest-grossing Hollywood movies of 2025 in India: Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning Rs 113.50 crore F1 Rs 101.80* (final Rs 110 expected) Jurassic World Rebirth Rs 101.1* (final Rs 107 expected) Final Destination: Bloodlines Rs 75 crore Superman Rs 50.50* (Rs 55+ final expected) Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

The Fantastic Four First Steps India Advance Bookings: Marvel's biggie sells 40,000 tickets from BookMyShow, 1 day out
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman and starring Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and others, is all set to release on 25th July, 2025 worldwide. The hype for the movie is high in the domestic market and reasonable in its international markets. It is expected to take a near USD 200 million global start and that would be seen in a good way for the film featuring Marvel's first family. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Has Sold 40,000 Tickets From BookMyShow, With 1 Day To Go The India opening of The Fantastic Four: First Steps looks to be slightly underwhelming considering the fact that it is the last film before Avengers: Doomsday. The film has sold 40,000 tickets from BookMyShow a day prior to its release and it will target to hit 100,000 tickets by the end of the day before release. Superman had sold around 110,000 tickets, to open at slighly over Rs 6 crore and The Fantastic Four: First Steps shall target the same. Advance Bookings Of The Fantastic Four: First Steps Have Been Adversely Affected By The Saiyaara Wave The Fantastic Four: First Steps' advance bookings have been adversely affected by the Saiyaara wave. The fight for more screens continues. Till evening today, the bookings for the movie were open only in IMAX and other premium formats, and not the regular screens. If not for the screen sharing issues, the Marvel movie would be targetting an opening day of over Rs 8 crore. Regardless, these issues should hopefully be sorted over the weekend. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Will Look To Continue The Good Streak Of Hollywood Movies In India Hollywood movies have been doing well in India. The last one month has had one blockbuster in the form of F1, 1 solid hit in Jurassic World: Rebirth and 1 decent performer in Superman. The Fantastic Four First Steps will look to do better than Superman. But it is not going to be easy as week 2 shall again see a screen-sharing issue as two able Bollywood films, Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 will try their best to get good enough screens for themselves, while Saiyaara will continue to hold fort. The Fantastic Four: First Steps In Theatres From 25th July The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theatres on 25th July. The tickets for the movie can be booked online or from the box office.
