Superman Update Given by James Gunn, Why Reshoots Aren’t Expected

by

As a seasoned gamer and long-time DC comics fan, I must say I’m thoroughly intrigued by the latest updates on the upcoming Superman film. James Gunn‘s approach to storytelling and his commitment to detail have always been commendable, so it’s exciting to see him tackle such an iconic character. The fact that he’s only done a day of reshoots across his last two films gives me hope for a polished final product.

James Gunn recently shared some insights about the upcoming changes in the Superman movie, giving details about the post-production work and explaining why extensive reshoots might not be necessary.

What is the latest Superman update?

Recently, Gunn responded on Threads to some fan inquiries, one of which was about the film’s completion status. When asked if it was almost finished, Gunn, who is both the director and co-CEO of DC Studios, clarified that there was still a significant amount of post-production work left, including editing, visual effects, and scoring.

In response to the initial post, Gunn also touched upon the topic of reshoots. A fan questioned whether reshoots could prolong a project, and Gunn stated that he couldn’t say for sure because he had only carried out “a single day of reshoots” across his last two movies.

Previously, Gunn elaborated on the reasons he frequently avoided reshoots. He highlighted that thorough preparation, a completed script, skilled actors, among other factors, played significant roles in eliminating the necessity for extra filming.

The film’s synopsis describes Superman recounting his tale – a tale about his double life as both the Kryptonian hero and the Smallville, Kansas resident Clark Kent. He embodies honesty, justice, and the spirit of America, all while being influenced by human compassion in a world that often views kindness as outdated.

In the lead roles, David Corenswet (known from Pearl and The Politician) takes up Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan (from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) portraying Lois Lane. Alongside them are Nicholas Hoult, Skyler Gisondo, María Gabriela De Faría, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, and others. The movie is slated for a release on July 11, 2025.

The initial phase of the DC Universe, known as Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, is set to encompass a wide array of movies and series. Among the projects already announced are:
