It's a story we've seen many times before... but can't wait to see again! And in the hands of DC’s purported savior, James Gunn... dare we say, it looks fresh, and funny, and... super! In theaters July 11.
Guardians of the Galaxy creator and DC Studios co-president James Gunn himself is at the helm of a brand-new DC Universe, and all eyes are fixed on how he’ll handle the studio’s flagship, iconic superhero… Now we have our first serious reveal… with a bloodied hero, a bevy of new faces led by the Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Kelex, Metamorpho… and of course, an exuberant, excitable and not always obedient superpup!
This is DC Studios’ first feature film for the big screen, featuring Gunn’s take on this seminal character of DC lore… which we hope channels the director’s unique blend of humor, action, and bravado.
The film stars David Corenswet (Twisters, Hollywood) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the X-Men movies, Juror #2) as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi (For All Mankind), Anthony Carrigan (Barry, Gotham), Nathan Fillion (the Guardians of the Galaxy films, The Suicide Squad), Isabela Merced (Alien: Romulus), Skyler Gisondo (Licorice Pizza, Booksmart), Sara Sampaio (At Midnight), María Gabriela de Faría (The Moodys), Wendell Pierce (Selma, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), Alan Tudyk (Andor), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Bird Box) and Neva Howell (Greedy People).
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn produce. Gunn also wrote the screenplay. Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars Winther executive produce.
Stephane Ceretti serves as the production VFX supervisor, leading VFX teams from Clear Angle Studios, Day for Nite, Framestore, ILM, and Wētā FX.
