‘Superman: Legacy’ is all set to release on July 11, 2025.

According to Deadline, a US-based media house, ‘Superman: Legacy’ is the first feature project in Gunn and o-DC chief Peter Safran’s new DC Universe, ‘Gods and Monsters’.

Gunn is writing and directing the upcoming ‘Superman’ movie.

“It’s not an origins story, it focuses on Superman’s balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He’s the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, he’s kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned,” Safran announced about the movie at a DC presser back in January, reported Deadline.

The official announcement of the star cast of the film is still awaited.

Gunn is currently on a press tour for his Marvel Studios’ next film ‘Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3’ which is set to hit the theatres on May 5, 2023.
