Director James Gunn has announced via Twitter that “Superman: Legacy” is still on track to be released on July 11, 2025.
”Thanks to the efforts of our talented crew, who never lost faith during the longest strikes in Hollywood history, and who never let their foot off the pedal, continuing to barrel forward, creating the most amazing character and set designs I’ve seen in my entire career, #SupermanLegacy will be making the originally planned release date of July 11, 2025.”
“Superman: Legacy”, which will star David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, is scheduled to be released July 11, 2025.
Is anyone else just a tad excited by the visual of this announcement? Still so many unknowns of course. So I’m not getting too worked up. But, I’m liking the connection to the comics.
I liked Snyder’s idea of a more serious comic book film, but now that the Snyderverse is no more, I’m (cautiously) optimistic to see how Legacy will play out.
I feel a bit more cautious as “things” now a day seem to be driven towards movies being quota driven in story. If there’s one area I wish they’d move on from, it would be the Lois relationship. I think that angle has been run into the ground..
As far as Snyder, I was a big fan and could have taken his series being wrapped up had we had gotten a dedicated MoS sequel. There were a lot of lose ends in his JL cut that will never be finalized as well. Most unfortunate.
SteelMan, I love what you said. I agree with you 100%. Similar to you, I myself also enjoyed Zack Snyder’s presentation of a more serious comic book film and a more realistic take on Superman. But also like you said, the Snyderverse is no more (which I’m fine with even though I liked it). I’m looking forward to seeing what James Gunn will showcase with Superman and the characters in his world.
Rewatching the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and I am fully confident James Gunn can apply his experience to write and direct a spectacular Superman movie. Of course, Superman is not StarLord and vice versa. Nevertheless, I expect a well balanced movie with both serious moments and levity as the situation may call for. I hear James is drawing inspiration for the movie from both Superman for All Seasons and All Star Superman. If so, Gunn is certainly showing his understanding of the character and hopefully we as Superman fans will be richly rewarded come July 2025.
