Gunn's Superman Breaks Advance Ticket Sales Record

James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, will launch the new DC Universe with a release date of July 11, 2025. The film has already broken Fandango's record for best first-day advance ticket sales in 2025 and features Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and villains such as Maxwell Lord and original character Hammer of Boravia. Trailers tease Superman's struggle to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his humanity, confronting multiple foes and significant changes in his life as Clark Kent. Gunn has explained the return of Superman's red trunks as a means to make the hero more relatable. The film will include a post-credits scene intended as a fun bonus rather than a setup for future films. Speculation continues about the movie's approach to Superman's secret identity and its ramifications for the broader DC Universe.
