James Gunn‘s “Superman” movie has wrapped filming, the writer-director announced Tuesday on his social media accounts.
“And that’s a wrap,” Gunn wrote. “God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.”
He continued: “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set – and for that I am forever grateful.”
Gunn’s “Superman” movie will kick off the rebooted DC Universe under the supervision of him and his DC Studios co-boss Peter Safran.
The superhero movie, originally titled “Superman: Legacy,” stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult is taking on the role of Superman’s infamous villain Lex Luthor, while Gunn’s cast also includes Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) and more.
Will Reeve, son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, will make a cameo playing a TV reporter in the film.
“Superman” is set to debut in theaters on July 11, 2025.
