DC Studios has unveiled new character posters for James Gunn's upcoming Superman film, highlighting both the Daily Planet staff and the movie's villains. The posters prominently feature Clark Kent (David Corenswet), Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), Perry White (Wendell Pierce), Cat Grant (Mikaela Hoover), and Steve Lombard (Beck Bennett), emphasizing the significance of the newsroom as a key setting. Villains such as Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), Eve Teshmacher (Sara Sampaio), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), and Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) are also showcased. The film explores Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas, and is set in a distinct universe separate from the current DCEU. Scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, the movie is described as a blend of epic action, humor, and heart, with Superman driven by compassion and a belief in human goodness. James Gunn has clarified that the film will not retell Superman's origin story, focusing instead on a new narrative within the DC Universe's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters saga.
