James Gunn’s Superman is already flying past expectations – and it hasn’t even hit theatres yet. That’s right – the upcoming DC movie has broken Fandango’s record for the fastest-selling superhero movie tickets, and it’s still a month away from release. This early response in sales has, for obvious reasons, sparked major excitement across the industry, especially as it marks a fresh start for the Man of Steel under Gunn and Peter Safran.
Many also see this as a turning point for DC Studios and a clear shift from the Zack Snyder era. Looks like the movie is all set to give fans what they’ve long waited for: a bold new vision that might save the DC Universe. Let’s dive deeper!
James Gunn’s Superman soars past ticket sales, leaving the Zack Snyder era behind
James Gunn‘s Superman is shaping up to be the fresh start DC fans have been waiting for. With David Corenswet leading the way as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the upcoming movie is set to launch a bold new era for the DC Universe.
Moreover, it promises a brighter tone, a more hopeful hero, and a clean break from the darker stories of the past. Now, with a full month to go before its official release, Superman is already making headlines.
Early access screenings via Amazon Prime sold out so fast that the movie broke Fandango’s 2025 record for advance ticket sales, as per Deadline. It’s now the top-selling superhero movie on the platform this year, beating even Marvel’s Fantastic Four. For many, this massive response feels like the end of the Zack Snyder era.
Gunn’s vision is being embraced not just by critics but also by fans eager for something different. With this momentum, the upcoming movie is expected to open big, possibly even crossing $100 million in its debut weekend.
If early numbers are any sign, Superman isn’t just flying this time – it’s soaring past expectations, and fans are definitely happy about it.
New Superman trailer teases high stakes – and a green baby nobody saw coming
A brand-new trailer for Superman was recently dropped, and it’s already stirring excitement online. Brought to life by James Gunn, the movie, starring David Corenswet as Superman, is all set to hit theaters on July 11. But before that, the latest preview packs in thrilling scenes, emotional moments, and a closer look at what’s to come.
While Gunn recently revealed the runtime and credits of the movie, this trailer gives us a good look at all the major characters and a few surprises as well.
We see Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, who’s all set to take down Superman and everything he cares about.
But there’s one detail that has fans doing a double-take: Superman is seen holding a green alien baby. Many on social media have started guessing that this baby could be Baby Joey, a character from the comics with powers linked to Metamorpho. With tentacles in the background and this mysterious child in Superman’s arms, the teaser hints at major twists in the story.
The movie will be the first chapter in DC Studios’ new era titled Gods and Monsters. And based on the buzz, this Superman reboot might just deliver everything longtime fans have been waiting for.
Superman is scheduled for a theatrical release in the USA on July 11, 2025.
