SUPERMAN Character Posters Feature Superman, Krypto, The Justice Gang, and More — GeekTyrant
DC Studios has released the first wave of Superman character posters, and they spotlight the movie's superhero metahumans. Below, you'll see Superman (David Corenswet), Krypto, Superman Robot #4 (Alan Tudyk), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). I imagine these posters will be followed by more posters that put the focus on the villains of the film. 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. 'It's 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 movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

SUPERMAN Motion Poster Sees Clark Kent Transform Into The Man of Steel — GeekTyrant
DC Studios just dropped a new motion poster for James Gunn's Superman , and it features David Corenswet's dual take on the iconic character. The animation smoothly transitions from mild-mannered Clark Kent to the fully-realized Man of Steel. Corenswet has openly acknowledged the legacy he's stepping into with this role, saying: 'Would this be worth doing if this was the only thing I do as an actor for the rest of my life?' he asked in a recent interview. 'I think the answer is yes.' He also touched on the challenge of playing a character who, at least on the surface, doesn't wrestle with the same level of darkness as his DC counterparts. 'Compared to Batman and Spider-Man, he isn't depicted as having great inner turmoil. If he's invincible, what's at stake?' Corenswet said, quoting All-Star Superman writer Grant Morrison. 'All the important stuff. You can be the most well-adjusted, well-intentioned person, but people will still die. You can't save everyone forever.' I like what I've seen from Corenswet in this movie so far and I'm looking forward to seeing more. 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. 'It's 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.

New SUPERMAN Photo Sees David Corenswet Standing Tall as the Man of Steel — GeekTyrant
Here's another shot from James Gunn's Superman , and it features David Corenswet as the Man of Steel standing tall in the Fortress of Solitude. There have been reports of mixed reviews for this film from test screenings, but as a fan of Gunn and his films, I'm excited to see what he is going to deliver with this. Warner Bros. likes it, though! According to studio heads Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca, Gunn has delivered a great film. De Luca previously shared: "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment. His heart's in the right place, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new version of DC." 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. 'It's 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." It will be the first official film in the new DC Universe timeline, kicking off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a rollout that will eventually include five films and five shows, among them Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold , Clayface , Swamp Thing , and more. 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.

7th HEAVEN May Be the Latest '90s Show to Get a Reboot
When you think of the WB network, you probably think of iconic '90s/early 2000s shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek, and Smallville. But the longest-running WB show, and their biggest ratings grabber, was the wholesome family drama 7th Heaven. The show, about a California minister and his rather large family, ran for a whopping eleven seasons. It outlasted the WB itself, and finished its run on the CW. Now, according to Deadline, the show is getting a reboot via CBS Studios, with original star Jessica Biel as a producer. What remains unclear is whether or not this will be a total reboot, or some kind of legacy sequel continuation of the original 7th Heaven series. We're going to lean toward total reboot, as the family patriarch of the show, actor Stephen Collins, admitted to several heinous crimes in recent years. We won't get into the specifics of what they are. But if you're curious, there's a whole episode of Hollywood Demons on HBO Max covering it. So the series lead from the original show almost certainly won't be coming back. But with Jessica Biel involved, maybe she carries on the torch? We don't really know at this point. 7th Heaven became one of the last hits produced by television legend Aaron Spelling. From the '70s through the '90s, Spelling produced a metric ton of hit shows that remain iconic to this day. Among them are Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, and Charmed. Much of the Spelling library is now owned by CBS Studios. They've looked to capitalize on the late Mr. Spelling's iconic brand of shows for the streaming era. We'll soon find out if 7th Heaven can find a new life in a landscape where television is so different.
