"I think when I was a kid, I was really drawn to the Superman family comics, which had Superman, Supergirl, Krypto, and the whole team."

Mumbai : Superman is the first feature film from DC Studios releasing worldwide in theaters this year under the banner of Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn introduces the story of the superhero Superman in this new DC Universe, blending powerful action, humor, and heart-touching emotions. This Superman is a hero who believes in compassion and the goodness of humanity.

When Superman gets entangled in conflicts both within and outside the country, questions begin to arise about his actions taken to protect humanity. Taking advantage of his emotional vulnerability, a cunning and wealthy tech businessman, Lex Luthor, plots to eliminate him forever. Can the brave reporter of the Daily Planet, Lois Lane, along with other metahumans of Metropolis and Superman’s loyal four-legged companion Krypto, help save Superman before Luthor’s catastrophic plan succeeds?

This film depicts Superman’s journey as he tries to balance his Kryptonian heritage as Kal-El and his upbringing as Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. He selflessly wants to use his powers for the welfare and safety of humanity. In a world where kindness is considered an outdated concept, Superman, inspired by this very kindness, becomes a symbol of truth, justice, and hope for a better future.

When you ask visionary James Gunn when he fell in love with Superman’s character, he says, “I’ve always loved Superman. I think when I was a kid, I was really drawn to the Superman family comics, which had Superman, Supergirl, Krypto, and the whole team. And as a child, I was a huge fan of Richard Donner’s Superman film — its music and everything about it amazed me. That was the time I started to realize the deep impact films could have on my life, which was different from the significance they might have in others’ lives.”

In this film, David Corenswet will be seen in the dual role of Superman and Clark Kent, while Rachel Brosnahan will play Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult will portray Lex Luthor. The film also features Eddie Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell in important roles.

DC Studios presents, under the banners of Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company, a James Gunn film ‘Superman’, which will release in theaters and IMAX® across India on July 11, 2025. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will be released in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The film will also be available in 3D and IMAX 3D.
