During Friday's Q4 earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO announced that filming for James Gunn's 'Superman: Legacy' will commence next week. Gunn recently shared a photo of the full cast on Instagram following a table read, expressing excitement for the project.
The CEO expressed optimism about the upcoming film, highlighting the studio's recent underperformance and the potential for growth in the next two years. The CFO acknowledged challenges faced in the superhero genre, citing last year's mixed results with hits like 'The Color Purple' and 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.'
'Superman: Legacy' features David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The film, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, marks the beginning of the 'Chapter One: Gods and Monsters' series in the revamped DC Universe.
James Gunn, serving as writer and director, collaborated with producer Peter Safran to create this new chapter in the DC Universe. The duo currently holds the positions of co-CEOs and co-chairs at DC Studios, signaling a promising future for the franchise.
