We've got a bunch of new photos to share with you for James Gunn's Superman offering fresh looks at several of the characters that will appear in the film. A couple of them see Lois Lane hanging out with the Justice Gang.
Gunn also teased his master plan for the "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" slate first announced at the start of 2023, telling EW:
"The most important thing is the specific stories, but there is also a much bigger story that we're telling that will take a little bit longer to tell. That's sort of where my next couple of things are going to be."
Asked whether that could involve the Justice League, he responded:
"Of course, of course. But there is no Justice League in this world... not yet."
In response to that, David Corenswet enthusiastically to the prospect of leading the iconic superhero group:
"I mean, that sounds awesome. I don't take it upon myself to think ahead in that kind of way, just because one would hate to get one's hopes up about anything in particular and then have it go in another direction. What I like to do is stay blissfully ignorant, and then when James tells me what's going to happen, I get to have a wonderful surprise."
"So if Justice League is in the back of his mind, that sounds great to me. I'll put it at the back of my mind and we'll see what happens."
Superman will tell the story of 'Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
'He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
Superman is 'set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU."
The cast of Superman also includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois, Skyler Gisondo as Clark's best pal, Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce as The Daily Planet's Perry White; Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl; Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl; and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.
It also stars Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific; Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampan as Eve Teschmacher; Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason, aka Metamorphosis; Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.; Neva Howell as Martha Kent; and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent.
The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
