Superman: Legacy Release Date Reconfirmed by James Gunn

DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has revealed whether or not the Superman: Legacy release date was affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

In a post on his official Twitter account, Gunn revealed that Superman: Legacy will indeed be able to hit its original release date of July 11, 2025, meaning the DC Universe film won’t be delayed as a result of this year’s strikes.

The filmmaker credits this 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.”

What is Superman: Legacy about?

“Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”

The titular role in Superman: Legacy is being played by David Corenswet (Pearl, The Politician), while Lois Lane will be played by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan. The film is set to release on July 11, 2025.
