James Gunn Debunks Superman Rumor About The Runtime While Offering Thrilling Update About The DC Flick

If there's one movie I'm looking forward to on the 2025 movie schedule more than any other, it has to be James Gunn's upcoming Superman. To be sure, I'm far from certain the movie is going to be great, but there's a lot of reason to believe it will be, and the potential for something really special is quite high. This makes it very exciting to learn that the movie, set for release in a little over a month, is very nearly done. In a post on Threads, James Gunn did what he does best: debunking the latest rumor regarding one of his films. In this case, it came from a fan asking about an official runtime for Superman, listed as two hours and two minutes. Gunn said the official runtime for the film hasn't been set yet, for the simple reason that the movie isn't actually finished. However, that day is very close as there are apparently only a couple of VFX shots remaining to finish. Gunn said… That is not correct. It's almost totally locked - meaning we're just finishing a couple VFX shots over the weekend - but that's not the running time. The runtime itself isn't particularly important. The movie will be as long as it needs to be. Given that we've seen more and more blockbusters with runtimes significantly higher than two hours, it's unlikely the movie will be edited down more than James Gunn wants. While there was a time when we might have seen a movie with broad appeal edited down for no reason beyond a desire to hit a certain runtime, that's less likely today. What's important is that Superman is literally days away from being completed. It doesn't change how many days I need to wait to see it, of course, but the fact that it's nearly done makes it feel like Superman is just a little bit closer. Max: Save Up To $41 On Annual PlansThe first part of James Gunn's new DCU, Creature Commandoes, is already available on Max, and there you can also watch every previous Superman movie to get ready for the new one. It's probably worth signing up for a year just to be able to watch all the DC content. Alternatively, its cheapest plan starts from $9.99 a month. I'd always recommend getting Max as a part of the bundle with Disney Plus and Hulu, though, starting from $16.99 a Deal Superman will make the big screen debut of the new DCU under James Gunn, and with numerous DC Comics characters other than the Man of Steel set to appear, the movie will certainly open up many different directions for a cinematic universe to go. When Iron Man first arrived, we didn't know what Marvel was planning, but with DC's new universe, we know what's happening, which makes Superman's arrival all the more exciting and important. Superman is going to be a big movie when it hits theaters in July. Whether it's a great film or a major box office hit remains to be seen, but success or failure, Superman is going to make a considerable impact. I can't wait to see which it is. How long I'm sitting in the theater is the least of my concerns.

Craig Gordon hopes Serie A stars can fire Scots to World Cup
He is certain that had those opportunities amounted to anything, he would have benefitted from the chance to play in a different league, and he is equally certain that what the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Lewis Ferguson and Che Adams have been exposed to in Italian football will have improved them as players. 'Absolutely,' Gordon said. 'It's a different experience. It's a different style of football. That can only add to the experience of the squad as a whole and help everybody else. It's definitely going to help. (Image: Andrew Milligan/PA Wire) 'Different managers, different style of play. All these little things. We want to have as much knowledge of that as possible within our team. It's only going to get better for us. 'When you see some of the reports and also the stats that Scotty has put in, the goals that he's scored to help them win the league, it was a tremendous achievement. 'It's brilliant to have them playing at such a high level and going into the Champions League. It's fantastic for the boys to be there to get that. 'I think everybody in the whole squad has been rooting for them.' A curious thing about goalkeepers, given that they are all vying for the one position, is that they tend to also root for one another even when they are in direct competition for the gloves, and such is the case with Gordon and Angus Gunn. Gunn, who was released by Norwich City at the end of the season, will join up with the Scotland squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein while Gordon will not. But the Hearts number one is hoping Gunn can put himself in the shop window with a couple of impressive displays for his country. 'I'm sure a goalkeeper of his quality will get picked up,' he said. 'There will definitely be teams after a goalie of that type, without a doubt. I'm sure he'll get a club, no problem. 'It's up to all the goalies around the national team to get games. It's been difficult for a few this season to get the number of games at club level to force their way into Scotland reckoning. 'But next season it all changes and there will be a few guys moving club. And every situation changes at every club. So, it's starting afresh and having to work for that all over again. 'Absolutely, he will be [challenging to be Scotland number one]. I have absolutely no doubt that he will be.' Gordon now has 81 caps for Scotland, keeping 34 clean sheets along the way, but his desire to keep going is not driven by a want to see himself climbing the all-time appearance list, but a desire to appear at a World Cup in a Scotland jersey. 'Yes, I'm still going,' he said. 'I want to play as well as I can for as long as I can, however long that may be. 'I'm in the top five [for appearances] now. There's a few just below me that I think will probably catch me one day. But certainly, for me, it's not all about the numbers. It's about still playing well and helping the team. If I'm not doing that, then I don't want to be just chasing numbers.

'September, October, November, two games in each. At the end of that you could know whether you're going to the World Cup or not. It's coming all over in the space of six months, and that includes the warm-up to it. 'The last game [against Greece] was disappointing. After a very good result and a good performance away, we didn't hit those heights back at Hampden. It's something that we want to get together, address, and try and not let that happen again.' *Craig Gordon was speaking at a launch event for Scotland Supporters Club (SSC) members for the new JD Buchanan Street Store, which is now open.

Craig Gordon hopes Serie A stars can fire Scots to World Cup
The veteran keeper, who has cited Italian legend Gigi Buffon as an inspiration as he continues to perform at the top level into his forties, had one or two chances to go abroad during his career that never quite materialised. He is certain that had those opportunities amounted to anything, he would have benefitted from the chance to play in a different league, and he is equally certain that what the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Lewis Ferguson and Che Adams have been exposed to in Italian football will have improved them as players.

James Gunn Responds to 'Superman' Rumor
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. James Gunn responded to a rumor about the runtime of his upcoming film Superman on social media this week. Newsweek reached out to Gunn's representative via email for comment. The Context Gunn, 58, is the CEO of DC Studios and director of Superman, which will be released this summer. The first trailer for the highly anticipated film dropped in December and an extended sneak peek was shared during April's CinemaCon. The star-studded cast includes David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Guy Gardner. Prior to 2025's Superman, the most recent Superman films were 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, 2013's Man of Steel and 2006's Superman Returns. James Gunn speaks about the movie "Superman" during the CinemaCon 2025 Warner Bros Pictures presentation at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on April 1, 2025.

VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images What To Know On Wednesday, Gunn took to Threads to share an announcement about Superman. "Excited to bring @Superman to audiences in China on July 11," he wrote alongside a poster of the film in Chinese. In the comments of his post, Threads user @dcdomain wrote: "Hey james is the runtime for Superman locked? There's rumors that it's 2h2minutes." In response, Gunn said, "That is not correct. It's almost totally locked - meaning we're just finishing a couple VFX shots over the weekend - but that's not the running time." "Thank you James," @dcdomain wrote back. "Can't wait!" Last month, Gunn hinted at what fans can expect to see in the film. "The central conflict revolves a lot around Lex Luthor's attempts to defeat and destroy Superman," he told Entertainment Weekly in April. "I think Lex Luthor thinks of Superman in the way that an artist thinks of AI. Here's this guy who's this [incredible] genius scientist who's worked his whole life to become one of the richest, most powerful men in the world, and he does it all to be lauded. I mean, he wants to be the greatest, and suddenly this jerk comes in wearing a cape with a lantern jaw and a cocky grin, and he just takes all of the oxygen out of the room, out of the room of Earth, and it creates a burning hatred in the guy." What People Are Saying In the comments under Gunn's Threads response, many fans said they hope for an even longer runtime. @ "Thank Goodness! I really want this movie to be 2:20 or more, coz I want to spend more time in this world of James Gunn's Superman and with several of its characters!" @fahimmia01: "Hope its around 2h 30m long." @rickyjmarc: "Certainly hope it's a little longer than that. I haven't seen Superman on my theater screen in over a decade. Long overdue. Worth the runtime." @batmanvengeance2024: "I hope it's longer than 2 hour 10 minutes..." @malg.1234: "I would watch 5 hrs of this movie ngl even though obviously that's not possible." What Happens Next Superman hits theaters on July 11.

Rachael ‘Raygun' Gunn reveals struggle with anxiety after Olympic break-dancing went viral
Australian breakdancer Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn has spoken out about the deep impact the viral reaction to her Olympic performance had on her mental health. Gunn, 37, revealed she was already dealing with anxiety before the Olympics, but the global backlash after her routine made things much worse. She described feeling 'paralysed' and 'panicky' if her husband wasn't nearby. Opening up to News Corp, Gunn said getting off social media, support from loved ones, and regular psychologist appointments helped her cope. Gunn, who recently performed with Richard Branson on a Virgin Voyages cruise after her Olympic routine went viral, shared that she began taking anti-anxiety medication about six months before Paris due to the pressure of being the first Australian woman to qualify for Olympic break-dancing. 'The Olympics is such a huge event and there's so much pressure on you, regardless of your chances,' she said. 'My journey with anxiety started before the big day when everything changed, but because I'd already had that experience with it and a bit of a support structure in place it meant I was able to get through that whirlwind of an adventure and the wild ride a bit easier.' The months after the Olympics were especially tough. Gunn described feeling 'paralysed' and 'frozen' at times. 'I was just kind of stuck and paralysed until either Sammy (husband Samuel Free) came back or we found some friends or something,' she said. 'For a long time I generally felt out of my body, if that makes sense, like the whole world was different. 'I would have a good cry probably every couple of weeks because I felt so numb the rest of the time, like I couldn't be angry, I couldn't be upset, I was just trying to process everything that was happening. 'Then I would have a good cry and I would feel a bit better for a while. 'It's still hard, to be honest, I still have bad days.' She's now slowly regaining her confidence to break-dance again. 'I used to practise on the street four nights a week, I still haven't got the confidence to do that but I am able to break at home with Sammy and a friend and build from there,' she said. 'Now I'm actually starting to enjoy it again and it's nice to be able to dance with no pressure and work on some moves.' Gunn continues to work at Macquarie University, marking essays and helping with teaching. 'I'm working on some stuff behind the scenes … you certainly haven't seen the last of me,' she said. She also shared her new hobby of knitting, calling her project 'my mental health scarf.' 'This is my mental health scarf,' she said, holding it up. 'It's the most ridiculous thing, it's so long, but it was because I was so restless watching TV or whatever, it helped me do something with my hands and keep them busy because I feel like I get a lot of anxiety. 'It's just for me, so who cares, it will be ready in winter 2027 … it's nice to do something that has no pressure and you can just keep working on it and feel a sense of accomplishment. 'This is the stuff you have to explore when you're struggling with your mental health.' On returning to Australia, Gunn found comfort in 1980s Aerobics Oz Style videos on YouTube to help her exercise. 'When I came back to Sydney, I could barely leave the house, so I wasn't about to go to a gym or join a class so I looked on YouTube a lot for some workout videos,' she said. 'I did pilates and I've been doing yoga for years and I actually got into the old 80s Oz-Style Aerobics which were on YouTube. 'They're fun, they're good, they're easy.'
