Gunn's Superman Breaks U.S. Record, Lags Globally
James Gunn’s 2025 Superman, starring David Corenswet, has grossed $292.4 million domestically, making it the highest-grossing solo Superman film in the U.S. without adjusting for inflation, which would put Man of Steel’s 2013 total at $407 million today. Globally, Superman has earned over $500 million, but its $214 million international take lags behind Man of Steel's $379 million overseas, contributing to a worldwide total still below Man of Steel’s $670 million. The film has received strong reviews from critics (83% on Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences (91%), outpacing previous Superman entries in reception. Despite competition from other blockbusters, Superman remains the top-grossing superhero film of 2025 so far. Director James Gunn has attributed lower international returns to global political sentiment and anti-American attitudes, though some question this given Man of Steel's previous overseas success. While Superman's domestic performance secures its importance in the DCU reboot, it is unlikely to surpass Man of Steel’s global box office record.
