James Gunn Gives Hopeful Superman Legacy Update And Confirms The DC Movie Won’t Be Delayed Due To The Strikes

Superman: Legacy gets a promising update from James Gunn amid concerns that the DC Universe movie would be delayed due to the recent strikes.

SUMMARY

  •  Superman: Legacy has received a great update after the recent actors and writers strike.
  •  James Gunn, the writer-director of the DC Universe reboot, confirms that the movie will meet its July 11, 2025 release date.
  •  Gunn thanks his talented crew, who worked hard in pre-production during the actors strike.

Superman: Legacy has gotten a very solid update following the end of the 2023 actors strike. The upcoming movie, which is being written and directed by The Suicide Squad director and new DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, will star David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The movie, which centers on a younger version of Superman, will be one of the flagship titles of the new branch of the DC cinematic franchise, titled the DC Universe.

On Twitter, James Gunn offered an optimistic update on the Superman: Legacy release. Check out his post below:

In his post, Gunn lauds the “efforts of our talented crew,” sharing that they “never let their foot off the pedal” as they developed designs for characters and sets in pre-production amid the strike, during which time actors were not performing in or promoting struck productions as they fought for fair pay. Gunn confirms that the originally announced July 11, 2025 release date is still well within their sights.

How The Superman: Legacy Release Date Is Possible

This confidence from James Gunn is somewhat surprising considering how much the slate of upcoming releases has changed in the wake of the strike, which lasted for 118 days. Movies that changed their release dates amid production delays included Venom 3Mission: Impossible 8Deadpool 3, and The Karate Kid 2. The strike also saw actors refraining from promoting struck projects, resulting in the delays of already completed titles such as Dune: Part TwoCaptain America: Brave New WorldThe BikeridersDamsel, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

However, while Gunn’s movie was affected, the strike came at the right time to nevertheless allow a relatively smooth pre-production process. Even though the Superman: Legacy cast could not be involved in that stage of development and no further casting could be made, that period in a movie’s production usually involves the non-struck creative teams such as costume and set designers more than the performers. While additional actors were cast and not announced prior to the strike, the remainder of the casting should pick up shortly, at the time it would have if the movie was on a regular schedule.

The Superman: Legacy cast also includes Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, and Isabela Merced.

The end of the strike means that the Superman: Legacy production itself can likely still hit its original target. Its cast will also be allowed to talk about their involvement in the movie once more, helping build up buzz as shooting commences. Considering that there is a nearly two-year stretch before the proposed release date, the timeline should also still leave plenty of room for the intense post-production required for any big-budget superhero blockbuster.
