Summary
- Fans have a lot of hopes for the 2025 Superman movie.
- The Superman movie can create a live-action version of the hero that avoids previous missteps with the character.
- The Superman movie can also provide a hopeful tone for the movie and explore DC's lore in innovative and exciting ways.
James Gunn's Superman is set to bring a faithful new adaptation of the Man of Steel to the big screen in July 2025, and hopeful fans have a few particular hopes for the film. Previously known as Superman: Legacy, the film will be the first flagship movie of the brand-new DC Universe, though other projects currently exist in DCU canon. The first standalone Superman film since 2013's Man of Steel, the film has a lot of pressure to live up to when it comes to introducing Superman to a new cinematic universe.
In the wake of the DCEU films that were established after Zack Snyder's own Superman movie, many die-hard fans of the character have high hopes for Superman. As great as Henry Cavill was among the many live-action actors who've played Superman, the DCEU painted a strikingly different picture of the character that went on to falsely inform who Superman is in the minds of many casual audiences. Hopefully, James Gunn's upcoming movie will be able to satisfy the many unchecked boxes Superman movies have left blank since the days of Christopher Reeve's original quadrilogy.
