James Gunn confirms Superman runtime; dismisses rumours of external edits
Washington [US], June 5 (ANI): With the premiere of 'Superman' just around the corner, director and DC Studios co-head James Gunn has addressed lingering questions surrounding the film's runtime and rumours about studio interference. The eagerly awaited movie, set to launch on July 11, is one of the cornerstones of Gunn's new DC Universe (DCU) and marks the beginning of 'Chapter One: Gods and Monsters'. In a direct response to fan inquiries on the social media platform Threads, Gunn confirmed that the film's runtime, including credits and post-credit scenes, will be 2 hours and 9 minutes. The announcement came after a user asked if the 2-hour, 9-minute duration was accurate. Gunn clarified, "Inclusive of credits/post credits, the runtime is 2 hours 9 minutes." The director also took the opportunity to address a circulating rumour that Warner Bros. had forced him to shorten the film's runtime. Gunn categorically denied the claim and said, "Zero truth to that." He further emphasised that as a DC Studios film, the studio had no such influence over the project. "And they couldn't even if that's something that they wanted to. It's a DC Studios film," Gunn remarked, as quoted by Deadline. This restates any speculation that Warner Bros. played a role in trimming the movie. The upcoming 'Superman' film, written, directed, and co-produced by Gunn, will explore the journey of Clark Kent, portrayed by David Corenswet, as he grapples with his Kryptonian heritage and his life in Smallville with his adoptive family. The film represents a pivotal moment in the relaunch of the DC Universe under Gunn's leadership and will be the first film of the new DCU Chapter One. 'Superman' boasts an impressive ensemble cast. Alongside David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan will star as Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult will take on the iconic role of Lex Luthor. The film will also feature performances from Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, as per Deadline. Isabela Merced rounds out the cast as Kendra Saunders, also known as Hawkgirl. The film will also see several characters crossing over from the established DC Universe, including Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica (The Engineer), and Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, better known to fans as 'Supergirl'. With a diverse cast, Gunn's 'Superman' is set to be an exciting new chapter for the DC franchise. As the first film in the DC Universe's 'Chapter One: Gods and Monsters', 'Superman' is more than just a retelling of the 'Man of Steel's origin story. It promises to explore Clark Kent's internal conflict as he navigates the complexities of his dual identity, bridging the gap between his Kryptonian roots and his Earth-bound family and friends in Smallville.

Superman 2025 trailer released: Lois Lane grills David Corenswet as Lex Luthor calls him a ‘threat'; Superman stands trial
James Gunn's Superman is back with a full trailer, released just days after teasing the Man of Steel's battle in the Comic-Con footage, where he appeared blood-soaked and lifeless as his dog Krypto took the spotlight. On May 14, DC's official YouTube channel shared a nearly three-minute trailer showing David Corenswet's character being interviewed after his heroics are questioned. He is blamed for acting alone and accused of making things worse. Warner Bros.' film is set to hit theatres on July 11. The movie stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It shows Corenswet's character struggling to balance his alien Kryptonian roots with his human life as reporter Clark Kent. He stands for truth, justice, and classic human values, but in this story, he faces a world that often sees those ideals as outdated. Also read: Superman 2025: James Gunn shares first look at movie's villain 'played to sinister perfection' by María Gabriela de Faría The trailer of Superman, the first movie in 10 years, opens with the Man of Steel trying to justify his actions for humanity. But not everyone sees him as a hero. In fact, Lois Lane herself (played by The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel star) is seen questioning his recent actions in a sit-down interview that quickly turns into a grilling session. 'Recently, you've come under a lot of fire,' Lois says in the trailer. 'Today, the Secretary of Defence said he was going to look into your actions.' Superman looks frustrated as he answers that he stopped a war. But Lois counters, accusing him of entering the other country without government permission. She reminds him, 'You seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world.' But Kent is firm in his stance: 'I wasn't representing anybody except for me, and doing good.' Also read: Who is the mysterious Superman-like villain in Thunderbolts*? All we know about the guy 'stronger than all Avengers rolled into one' The scene then cuts to Superman being criticised by the public, while some loyalists still offer support. Despite all he does, flying, saving lives, and facing humiliation, he is blamed for not respecting the president's decision and acting alone. 'He's not a man,' Lex Luthor can be heard saying in the trailer. 'He's an 'it' that's somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation.' Even Lois, who respects him, says, 'I would question myself in the same situation and consider the consequences.' But Superman stays firm: 'People were going to die.' To sum up, Superman is trying to find his place in a world that no longer sees things in black and white. Your choices, your actions, that's what makes you who you are. #Superman – Only In Theaters and @IMAX July 11. Watch the official trailer now and ❤️ this post to get updates from @Superman before it hits theaters. — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) May 14, 2025 For the unversed, this is the first film from the franchise since Zack Snyder's Man of Steel (2013), and it officially kicks off Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe, which was previously titled Superman: Legacy.

In this case, we see more of the characters and David Corenswet's Superman taking some pretty brutal beatings from his enemies, including a giant fire-breathing monster tearing its way through the city. The trailer starts off with Lois Lane interviewing Clark as Superman, which turns into a heated argument as he tries to explain that he saved the world from a war, as "people were going to die." Rather than retelling his origin story, the movie delves into Clark Kent's efforts to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas. As a young reporter at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, Clark navigates his dual identity while embodying ideals of truth, justice,and compassion. This new trailer reveals his inner conflict and how being the hero comes with its consequences. Safe to say I'm officially hyped. Corenswet stars as Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luthor. The movie also introduces Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Krypto the Superdog.

'Superman' is shaping up to be a thrilling, action-packed ride, and I'm pretty hyped to check it out when it hits theaters on July 11, 2025. This movie is kicking off what looks like a blockbuster-heavy summer.
