SUPERMAN (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Available Now
- Blue/ Red / White Spinner
- Solid Red / Blue
To meet the scale of Superman, James Gunn turned to longtime collaborator John Murphy, who introduced sweeping new themes for Lois and Clark and Lex Luthor, while reimagining John Williams' iconic Superman melody with a striking electric guitar arrangement. Emmy-winning composer David Fleming later joined the project, contributing bold new orchestral arrangements of the Williams theme alongside fresh, character-driven motifs for the Justice Gang, the Daily Planet, and Krypto. Together, their dynamic score ensures Superman soars for a new generation.
Murphy shares, "From the start, James and I knew we wanted to honor Superman's legacy while creating something bold and new. There's such purity in the character, and I wanted that reflected in the music - noble, orchestral, timeless, while still finding moments to experiment and push the boundaries."
Fleming adds, "There's a deep emotional core to this Superman, and musically it was about tapping into that humanity. Reimagining the iconic theme while building new ones. From The Daily Planet to the Justice Gang, it was a chance to explore his world in a way that felt classic and completely fresh."

ABOUT SUPERMAN
Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, soars into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original Super Hero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind. DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire and master deceiver Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good. Will the Daily Planet 's intrepid reporter Lois Lane, together with the aid of Metropolis's other metahumans and Superman's own four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help Superman before Luthor can completely destroy him?
DC Studios Presents a Troll Court Entertainment/The Safran Company Production, A James Gunn Film, Superman will be in theaters and IMAX ® nationwide on July 11, 2025, and internationally beginning 9 July 2025, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

James Gunn Says He's Shooting the ‘Superman' Sequel ‘Much Sooner Rather Than Later': ‘We're Scheduling it Now'
James Gunn is giving an update on his 'Superman' sequel. During a recent interview with Collider, Gunn said he has completed the treatment for his 'Superman' follow-up and that he and his team are currently scheduling production. More from Variety James Gunn Posts His Emotional On-Set Debate With David Corenswet Over Superman's Big Speech: I Was 'Freaked Out (and So Happy)' It Was Filmed Missed It in Theaters? You Can Now Watch 'Superman' Online James Gunn Says 'Superman' Is Getting Digital Release So Quickly Because of 'Peacemaker' Season 2; Blockbuster Hits PVOD After Just Over a Month in Theaters 'We're scheduling it now,' Gunn said. 'I'm totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They're not regular treatments. They're 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything. And so, now I'm just turning that into a script. We're planning out when we're going to shoot that. It's going to be much sooner rather than later.' Gunn recently revealed across various interviews during his 'Superman' press tour that he is writing a new film featuring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, although he remained vague whether it was a standalone sequel or an entirely new project. Other upcoming projects on the DC slate include 'Peacemaker' Season 2, 'Supergirl,' the 'Lanterns' TV series, 'Wonder Woman' and 'Clayface.' Gunn said during a recent interview with CBS Mornings that all projects under the DC umbrella will have their own unique tone and style, much like the comics they are based on. ''Clayface' is a totally different thing. Although it's in the same universe, it's a complete horror film, and that's one of the things we want to do,' Gunn explained. 'There's not a company style. It's not like every movie is gonna be like 'Superman.' The artists and the directors and the writers that create each one will bring their own sense to it. … We don't want people being bored.'

After James Gunn ‘Just' Confirmed A Superman Sequel, Stans Have A Lot Of Thoughts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The comic book genre continues to be wildly popular, with a number of shared universes competing at the box office. DC co-CEO James Gunn has been crafting the DCU, with the first slate of projects titled Gods and Monsters. And after the filmmaker seemingly confirmed a sequel to Superman was coming, fans have thoughts. Superman was the first big-screen installment of the DCU (which also has projects streaming with an HBO Max subscription). The blockbuster has performed quite well, leading fans to wonder about upcoming DC movies. Gunn was recently asked on Threads about what he's doing now that the movie is out, and he responded with: Peacemaker press!! And sequel writing!!! Talk about a thrilling update. While Superman makes money at the box office, it sounds like he's already noodling up ideas for where to continue the story. This should probably not be a huge surprise, given the wild pace of Gunn's work since starting his position at DC. Of course, there is still some confusion about exactly what he's teasing. HBO Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthHBO Max is the streaming home for all things DC. Pay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, with three tiers available for an HBO Max subscription. You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal This Threads post has gotten a ton of engagement online, especially since the filmmaker has a reputation for directly communicating with the fans. When one person asked when he was going to tease the sequel, Gunn responded, "I JUST DID!". While there is no true confirmation, the fact that he's planning on getting into writing mode soon is thrilling. Even if he'll also be busy promoting Peacemaker Season 2. Fans are sounding off about this mini tease online, including a thread on Reddit. Folks are offering their two cents on Gunn's social presence, as well as what they'd like to see in a follow-up to Superman. I love he casually just said announced he's working on a sequel. Very glad to see an actual sequel being made after all the past cancellations from the other Superman's is the funniest exchange I'll see all day. James Gunn is living his best life out there as a CEO. I think it's obvious it was getting a sequel and Superman is almost guaranteed to show up in other DCU movies Crossing my fingers for Brainiac to be the next villain, it's about time a Superman (live action) movie includes other villains besides Lex Luthor and General Zod. Since the DCU is still in its early stages, this level of discourse might be a positive sign regarding how the public is feeling about the burgeoning franchise. The previous DC universe had a number of missteps, with Aquaman 2 being the final installment. But it looks like James Gunn and the Superman cast managed to largely win over the hearts of moviegoers. Of course, the biggest question online is whether or not it'll be a direct sequel to Superman, or another way to expand the universe and use the same characters. Namely because Gunn also shared: Yes, yes, sorry. This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It's not 'Superman 2.' As such, the online discourse is likely going to continue until we know more about what James Gunn is planning in the wake of Superman. But per this clarification, it seems like we're going to see more of an ensemble film with Superman being part of it. Could the Justice League be coming together? The group was still forming in the last DC flick. There is a ton of world-building being done by DC right now, on both the small and silver screens. Superman featured other heroes as well as characters who will become major presences down the line, such as Maxwell Lord and Supergirl. James Gunn is the architect of this franchise and is also involved as a writer/director. Now the question is: what's going to happen in a Superman sequel? Superman is in theaters now as part of the 2025 movie release list, and the DCU will expand again when Peacemaker Season 2 arrives on HBO Max August 21st.

Superman Just Hit Two Box Office Milestones That Make It Look Great And Make Black Adam And Thunderbolts* Look Less Than Optimal
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The box office can be a pretty exciting horse race to follow, even if you're just focusing on the here and now. So far on the 2025 movie schedule, we've seen two weekends of Superman's box office deliver #1 finishes, nabbing a handful of milestones along the way. Two more notable thresholds can now be added to Big Blue's trophy case, as comparing James Gunn's reboot to both Thunderbolts* and Black Adam shows a rather interesting pattern, while also pointing out a frontier where Supes still falls behind. Superman Has Blazed Past Thunderbolts* Domestic Haul According to the same report that revealed DC's attempt to steal Kevin Feige from Marvel, the brass at Warner Bros. have set Superman's worldwide financial goal post at a cool $500 million. That doesn't look impossible, when looking at the $416.2 million haul, reported at the time of writing by Box Office Mojo. However, it's the domestic front that seems to be doing Clark Kent a lot of good, especially since the film has now surpassed Marvel's Thunderbolts* in homegrown grosses. What was secretly a *The New Avengers picture all along only raked in around $190 million in the U.S., while Metropolis' protector has now brought in $243.1 million - so far. That's good news for truth, justice, and the American Way, to be certain. However, if we look back at one of the last DCEU movies to tangentially connect to the Man of Steel, there's another interesting tale to tell. You Can Also Add Black Adam's Domestic Grosses To The List Of Casualties While 2023's The Flash was the last movie to feature the Last Son of Krypton, and his many incarnations, 2022's Black Adam was supposed to change DC's 'hierarchy of power.' Dwayne Johnson's DCEU picture also went as far as bringing Henry Cavill's Superman back for a post-credits cameo that went exactly…nowhere. Which brings us to how Black Adam only brought in $168.1 million domestically, absolutely paling in comparison to David Corenswet's Superman take at the moment. Respectfully, the recognizable faces in this cinematic kickoff for DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters aren't at the level of blockbuster clout The Rock is. That's not even supposed to be a knock on Dwayne Johnson himself, but rather it's another interesting point of comparison that also applies to Thunderbolts*. In the interest of fairness, I have to bring up one last front that Superman actually hasn't conquered when compared to both of these pictures. Considering this weekend will see the DC Comics hit facing off against The Fantastic Four: First Steps, this last one is going to be super important. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Could Pose Superman's Ultimate Box Office Challenge At the moment, the international box office hasn't been the best for Superman. You're probably asking, 'But Mike, how difficult of a climb has it really been?' right about now. Well, check out the numbers below, and see for yourself: Black Adam: $225.3 million Thunderbolts*: $192.2 million Superman: $173.1 million Box Office for Dummies 101 clearly tells us that if you really want to make a splash with your picture, you really want both sides of the house to be humming. Unfortunately, that's where Superman hasn't even caught up with Black Adam. As the upcoming Marvel movie threatens to end DC's reign at the top of the domestic box office, our latest Fantastic Four reboot might have both halves of the equation to dominate the box office phenomenon known as 'SuperFantastic.' In any case, should the $500 million figure hold true as Warner Bros.' monetary sweet spot, Superman looks like it has a good chance at surpassing that benchmark. Of course, only time will tell - and this next weekend at the box office will be a further indication on just how far our hero can fly. Solve the daily Crossword
