James Gunn has offered an update on Superman as the movie is now in post-production.
Superman will be the first official film entry in Gunn and Peter Safran’s forthcoming DCU. The movie, which will be released in 2025, began filming in February 2024 before production then wrapped in July 2024.
On Threads, Gunn was asked if he’s nearly done working on Superman now that filming has been completed.
“Heck no,” Gunn answered. “Once you’re done shooting you’ve only just begun! Still lots of editing, VFX, sound, and scoring to be done!”
What did James Gunn say about reshoots?
When asked if reshoots also take up a lot of time, Gunn said, “I don’t know. I’ve done a total of one day of reshoots on my past two films combined.”
Gunn was further asked about his method for avoiding reshoots. He wrote, “1) Over-prepare 2) Don’t start shooting until I have a finished script my whole team is happy with 3) Hire actors and department heads I know can do their jobs 4) Surround myself with people who will challenge me and not just yes-sir everything 5) Ask myself daily – are there any small imperfections in the script or what we’re shooting that might end up feeling like huge imperfections when we cut the film together? 6) 1 and 2 again!”
Superman will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The cast of the movie also includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, María Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe.
Superman will be released in United States theaters on July 11, 2025.
