‘Superman’ Review: James Gunn’s Lively Reboot Takes The OG Superhero And His Dog On A Mission For A Kinder World


A review of Superman movie with David Corenswet taking on the title role and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane as both face Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor.

The preceding Star Wars- like credit roll explains where he has been over the past decades right up to informing us that this invincible man, albeit alien from Krypton (and please let’s just skip the recent interview where Gunn tried to portray him as just another immigrant to America and sending Fox News into a tailspin). Luthor, picking sides, is also in sync with the President of Boravia, and has created a weird kind of portal called a “pocket universe” that he employs to no good end, all in the effort to paint the planet with his preferred colors and take charge. Title: Superman Distributor: Warner Bros Release date: July 9, 2025 (international); July 11 (domestic) Director-screenwriter: James Gunn Cast: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell, Mikaela Hoover, Beck Bennett Rating: PG-13 Running time: 2 hr 9 mins
