New Superman & Supergirl Movies Announced

New DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have announced two new movies that will make Super-fans take notice. One is a new Superman film titled Superman: Legacy and it will be out in 2025; the other is based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book series.

Scheduled for July 11, 2025, Superman: Legacy will be written by James Gunn and the hope is that he will also direct it. “t’s not an origin story. It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned,” Peter Safran said during the announcement.

“With our stories, we want to take it away from good guy vs. bad guy. There are really good—almost saintly—people and Superman is among them. There are really terrible villains like Gorilla Grodd or the Joker. And then there’s everybody in between them, so there are all these shades of gray which allow us to tell complex stories,” Gunn added.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is based on the comic book miniseries by Tom King. “In our story, we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents. Kara was on Krypton. She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet and she lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. So, she’s a much harsher and more f*cked up Supergirl than you’ve been used to thus far,” Gunn promises.

No word yet on if the movie projects will affect TV, but they have expressed a desire to fully tie in the TV and the movies. See DC Studios’ TV plans here.
