James Gunn has revealed the new look for Superman’s “S” as principal photography of the new Superman film starts today (coincidentally, Superman’s birthday). He also revealed something new on his Instagram post:

“When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025,” he posted.

Considering a lot of the promotional material for the Christopher Reeve Superman film was labeled “Superman: The Movie,” this might be one of the first times that simply “Superman” has been the title for anything in live action. The new logo, by the way, is a bit like the one Alex Ross designed for the iconic Kingdom Come miniseries in 1996. That crest was later adapted into Brandon Routh’s suit for the Crisis on Infinite Earths TV event.

Superman, starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hits theaters on July 11, 2025.

The first official picture of David Corenswet in costume as Superman is finally here.

Director James Gunn’s new Superman movie itself might not be out until July of 2025, but fans today got their first look at Corenswet wearing the costume after an “S” reveal happened a few months back. The “S” is inspired by the design from Alex Ross in the Kingdom Come comic book series, and the suit itself looks to be less colorful than expected, but still very solid. And… are those underpants on the outside that we see? We can’t wait to see this in action!

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and more. It is expected to release to theaters July 11, 2025.

There is a very special episode of Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum today as Michael’s guest this week is Nicholas Hoult who will be playing Lex Luthor in the 2025 Superman film. They talk about the role of “the greatest criminal mind of our time” and Nicholas reveals who was the first Lex that he ever saw… and yep, it’s the same guy as our favorite. There’s even a comparing of notes about head-shaving and the audition process, and Michael enthusiastically cheered Hoult on.

Nicholas Hoult also asked Rosenbaum about his approach to Lex. “There’s a lot of things I related to the character,” Michael said, pointing to his own childhood. He also noted that Lex was “calm and collected” but “intense” when you crossed him. It’s a very complex character and Hoult will surely succeed like Michael did. You can watch the interview below.
