Superman will be Corenswet’s first outing as Clark Kent in Gunn’s new DC Universe. Superman’s impressive cast features Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White.

Additional characters include María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, and Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl.

Gunn is the writer and director of Superman, which originally had the title of Superman: Legacy. Peter Safran, co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios with Gunn, will produce Superman. Unlike previous Superman films, Gunn’s version will not be an origin story. It will pick up with Clark working as an established reporter at the Daily Planet.

Superman flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.

So, what was in the box? David Fincher reveals the truth behind Se7en’s ending

Two cops and one convict walk into the desert in Se7en.

"What's in the box?" is the famous phrase uttered by Brad Pitt's David Mills in Se7en. In the climactic scene of David Fincher's crime thriller, Detective Mills and Detective Lieutenant William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) escort serial killer John Doe (Kevin Spacey) outside the city to a remote location. A driver delivers a package to Mills. Somerset opens the package to reveal the severed head of Mills' wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow). Somerset begs a distraught Mills to put the gun down, but the young detective's rage wins out as he kills Doe.

Se7en is heading to IMAX on January 3 for the film's 30th anniversary before its 4K UHD Blu-ray release on January 7. In honor of the occasion, Fincher sat down with Entertainment Weekly and discussed what was really in the box. Because the head is never shown on screen, fans have wondered what Fincher put in the box. There's a rumor that a prosthetic head and body modeled after Paltrow were in the box to elicit a genuine reaction from the actors.

Suicide Squad director David Ayer defends his support of James Gunn’s Superman

David Ayer directs Margot Robbie on the set of Suicide Squad.

DC Extended Universe auteur Zack Snyder may have gotten the chance to release his original version of Justice League back in 2021, but a similar opportunity has not yet been extended to Suicide Squad director David Ayer. The filmmaker's 2016 comic book movie was, like Snyder's Justice League, heavily tampered with behind the scenes, and Ayer has remained adamant that the version of Suicide Squad that was theatrically released differs greatly from his original, preferred iteration.

The ongoing wait for a release of his cut of Suicide Squad hasn't stopped Ayer, however, from publicly voicing his support for DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn's Superman. On December 17, Ayer asked fans not to divert any attention away from the release of the first Superman trailer by launching another Suicide Squad campaign in his honor, writing, "I’m excited to see the trailer and have heard through the rumor mill it’s pretty incredible." His tweet was, unfortunately, met with negativity from certain fans, who took issue with the courtesy he was trying to extend to Gunn and, by extension, DC Studios' new DC Universe.

Superman teaser trailer previews David Corenswet as a battered Man of Steel

Superman walks with a concerned look on his face in "Superman."

"Home. Take me home," a bloodied Man of Steel says to Krypto the Superdog in the first teaser trailer for Superman.

The teaser begins with an injured Superman (David Corenswet) lying in the snow as he waits for the arrival of Krypto. Set to an edgier version of John Williams' Superman theme, the footage then transitions to Metropolis as Clark Kent heads to work inside the offices of The Daily Planet. Here, we get the first glance at Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane. There are multiple moments in the footage where Superman and Lois lovingly embrace, including a scene where they float off the ground.
