The upcoming movie is all set to hit the theaters on July 11, 2025, kicking off the first chapter: Gods and Monsters of the new DC universe. Starring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, and more, Superman is one of the most anticipated movies of this year.
The Superman director was back to answering fan queries on the social media platform, Threads, and clarified a big detail regarding Hawkgirl's wings in the movie.
On Threads, a user recently mentioned James Gunn and asked, 'r hawkgirls wings in the Superman trailer organic or mechanical because it hard to tell for me.' The director, after a few days gap, stepped in with an answer and disclosed that Hawkgirl's wings are indeed 'Organic.'
This characteristic of the live-action Hawkgirl, also known as Kendra Saunders, is similar to the details shown in the comics. Saunders made her debut in the comics in 1999 in the first issue of JSA: Secret Files and Origins. In the comics, Hawkgirl's wings are organic and made of the Nth metal. Previously, Hawkman, portrayed by Alis Hodge, has appeared in the DCEU in the 2022 movie Black Adam.
Talking about her portrayal of Hawkgirl in Superman, Isabela Merced told Collider in April 2024, 'I would be honored for people to see me on the street and just be like, 'Hawkgirl!' They don't need know my name… These characters mean so much to other people, I'm just happy that I could potentially hold a special place in their heart. I don't care what it's for or what I've done. As long as it means something to them, I'm very excited about that.'

Fortnite The current season of Fortnite is about to end, so make sure you've wrapped up all your challenges and finished every tier of the Chapter 6, Season 2 Battle Pass. Only hours remain before a new season drops and the current Star Wars-themed season ends and a new Superman season begins. This was a short, truncated season of content for Fortnite players. The new season is Superman / DC Comics-themed thanks to the upcoming release of James Gunn's new Superman movie starring James Corenswet. The Battle Pass skins are mostly based on DC characters including the new Superman model based on Corenswet from the film. Read on to learn everything you need to know about the new Superhero Academy Chapter 6, Season 3. The current season isn't going out quietly. The Star Wars Galactic Battle wraps up with a major live-event called Death Star Sabotage. Here's when it kicks off on Saturday, June 7th: Players should get queued up early. You can login two hours ahead of the event to hopefully secure your spot (barring any technical problems or overwhelmed servers) and you can do that on mobile now that Fortnite is back in the Google Play and App Stores. There's no exact timing or details on the event, but expect it to last 15 to 20 minutes.

Report Claims How Much 'Superman' Must Make To Turn A Profit
The upcoming movie Superman has a lot of weight on its shoulders. In addition to having to make back its own budget and turn a profit for Warner Bros. Discovery, James Gunn's Superman has the honor of launching the DC Universe. Now a new report claims just how much Superman must make to turn a profit and boost the DCU going forward. The new live-action endeavor, which features actor David Corenswet as the titular superhero, also includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Milly Alcock as Supergirl. As mentioned, the film will fully introduce the DC Universe as a live-action film franchise, one that will use these cast members and various others to carry their films and shows forward. Of course, the DCU's future also depends on the financial success of the film, which is said to have a $225 million budget according to The Wrap. The outlet additionally spoke to a talent agent who offered their insights regarding what the film must make in order to turn a profit. With the $225 million budget in mind, this agent suggests that James Gunn's Superman will have to make as much as $700 million worldwide in order to be called a success by the studio. 'While release dates are important, I don't think the challenge is ' Jurassic World: Rebirth ' or any other film,' they shared. 'The challenge is almost entirely a question of if Superman resonates with today's audience. Did they successfully update an Eisenhower-era character so the 2025 Gen Z audience can identify with him?' 'The simple brand recognition of Superman will probably take them to or close to $500 million worldwide, but anything above that will be because the audience identifies with the title character,' the insider added. Additionally, another source claims $500 million could be enough to turn a profit, but Warner Bros. Discovery is hoping to make much, much more in an effort to rejuvenate the studio. While there are several DC Universe projects in the pipeline regardless of how Superman performs at the box office, the franchise's future could still be much shorter-lived if Superman fails. As such, we'll have to see how Superman plays out when it hits theaters on July 11, 2025 and whether or not it makes a profit. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding this highly-anticipated blockbuster as we have them.
