James Gunn’s Superman Nears Completion with Record-Breaking Box Office Expected

James Gunn's upcoming Superman film is generating significant anticipation, with box office tracking suggesting a potential opening between $154 million and $185 million, which could make it the highest-grossing debut of 2025 and potentially set a new record for DC films if it surpasses $166 million. Gunn has debunked rumors about the film’s runtime being 2 hours and 2 minutes, stating the film's length is not finalized as only a few VFX shots remain before completion. The movie marks the launch of the new DC Universe (DCU) continuity and features David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The narrative will focus on Clark Kent reconciling his alien heritage with his human upbringing while contending with Lex Luthor’s schemes and developing his relationship with Lois Lane. Gunn emphasizes that the film will showcase Superman's vulnerability and humanity, aiming to set a fresh tone for the DCU. The film’s completion is imminent with its global release, including China, set for July 11.
