The article provides a comprehensive overview of James Gunn's upcoming film, Superman, which is set to launch the new DC Universe (DCU) on July 11, 2025.

The film is not an origin story. It will focus on a younger Clark Kent who is already established as Superman and is trying to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville. A key theme will be Superman's kindness being challenged by a world that often views it as old-fashioned.
