Overview

  • The film premiered in London this week with a red carpet fan event starring David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
  • Director and writer James Gunn described the movie as a celebration of radical kindness set against spectacular cosmic battles.
  • Corenswet revealed he exchanged letters with former Supermen Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, gaining encouragement but no direct performance tips.
  • By skipping Superman’s origin, the narrative begins months into Clark Kent’s career to explore his public role and his evolving relationship with Lois Lane.
  • Following the London debut, the movie begins its global rollout on July 9, with a U.S. release scheduled for July 11.
