Movie Superman (2025)

[BusSport]

Superman: Legacy will be the 1st film of James Gunn's new DC cinematic Universe. Gunn is writing this movie himself. The film is scheduled for release on Friday, July 11, 2025.

Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman, because this is a new origin story for Superman, and thus, Cavill will be replaced with a younger actor who has not yet been cast.

Gunn has decided to not just write but also direct this movie himself.

annoys me that we don't get Cavill as The Witcher or Superman anymore. Just dumb.

He was also attached to a Highlander reboot, but has been replaced by Hemsworth in that project as well.

Vanity Fair:

Isabela Merced will play Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi will be Mister Terrific, and Nathan Fillion will portray a Green Lantern (although not necessarily the Green Lantern.)

Update: James Gunn confirms that Nathan Fillion is playing Guy Gardner.
