It is one of the most anticipated films among this year's releases. 'Superman' topped the list of 'Most Anticipated Movies of 2025,' as selected by IMDb in the United States.

Director James Gunn has also expressed confidence, stating, "'Superman' has its unique fantasy elements, but it also possesses realistic characters that set it apart." He also added, "Writing the script was really fun, and it will be very different from the works I’ve written before."

David Corenswet will play Superman and Clark Kent. Rachel Brosnahan will portray Lois Lane, Superman's love interest.

Nicholas Hoult will take on the role of Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, creating dramatic tension alongside Maria Gabriela DeFaria, who plays an engineer.
