New Superman Image Reveals Tense Clark Kent and Lex Luthor Standoff in James Gunn's Reboot

The latest behind-the-scenes photo highlights the emotional and ideological clash between David Corenswet's Superman and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor as the DC Universe's relaunch takes shape.

James Gunn's Superman reboot serves as the first official entry in the reimagined DC Universe, with its theatrical release set for July 11, 2025, in North America and July 9 internationally.
A newly released behind-the-scenes image shows David Corenswet as Superman and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor in an intense face-off, teasing the film's central conflict.
Gunn's vision reimagines Superman and Lex Luthor with a focus on their humanity, aiming to deliver both epic action and deeply resonant character moments.
The film introduces a younger Clark Kent grappling with his dual roles as a reporter and hero, while also setting the stage for a broader DC Universe with appearances by other iconic characters.
Studio confidence in Gunn's direction is evident, as he was secretly hired to develop the script before officially taking the reins at DC Studios.
