James Gunn's Superman Film Tops 2025 Box Office with $615 Million Worldwide

Zack Snyder recently posted a rare photo of Henry Cavill in his Superman costume from Batman v Superman, sparking excitement among fans nostalgic for the SnyderVerse amid the new DC films featuring David Corenswet as Superman. James Gunn, director and DC Studios co-CEO, revealed behind-the-scenes debates during the making of his 2025 Superman film, including a contentious scene saving a squirrel during a battle and a near-explicit insult by Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, highlighting his commitment to balancing humor and family-friendly content. Superman (2025) achieved commercial success with over $615 million worldwide, and acclaimed comic writer Grant Morrison praised it as the best Superman movie yet, noting its fidelity to the comics and positive impact on the DC brand. Gunn also shared a touching story linking the Superman film and Peacemaker Season 2, involving a stunt coordinator who emotionally reacted to the Superman trailer while filming in zombie makeup, illustrating the emotional bond between these DC Studios projects. Peacemaker Season 2 continues the story post-Superman and helps transition from the DCEU to Gunn's new DC Universe, with filming overlapping Superman's production and featuring returning cast members. These developments underscore an active and evolving DC cinematic universe with passionate fan engagement and creative storytelling across projects.
