US Edition'Superman' Aims to Save Flagging Film Franchise, Not Just Humanity
HOLLYWOOD, JUL 10 – James Gunn’s Superman film blends humor with heavy themes like tech domination and anti-immigration rhetoric while presenting a fresh, accessible take on the hero’s character.
- James Gunn directed the new 2025 Superman movie starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent, releasing through Warner Bros. Pictures.
- The film follows Superman after his origin, beginning with his fight against Lex Luthor, a psychopathic billionaire played by Nicholas Hoult.
- Gunn's version embraces Superman's bright, hopeful, and occasionally corny nature while addressing themes like American ideals and current politics.
- This PG-rated, 2-hour-9-minute movie includes moments like Superman saying "Golly" after a fight and emphasizes a balance between seriousness and playfulness.
- The film marks a tonal shift from the darker Snyder era and positions Superman as an inspiring symbol amid 2025’s cynicism, potentially rejuvenating the DC franchise.
