Review: Stellar cast makes Superman shine bright

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-19 20:27:51

I'll be frank: I had mixed feelings, based solely on the trailers, about James Gunn's Superman reboot. Sure, the casting seemed great, Gunn has a winning track record on superhero fare, and Krypto the dog stole the show every time he appeared. The trailers struck a nice balance between action, humor, and heart. Yet the film also seemed overpacked with super-character cameos, and it was hard to get any sense of the actual plot. I've now seen the film, and those impressions were largely correct.

David Corenswet as the titular Kryptonian in James Gunn's Superman. Screenshot by Aaron Pruner/CNET There's a small, somewhat throwaway line spoken halfway into Superman by Rachel Brosnahan's whip-smart Lois Lane to David Corenswet's titular Kryptonian that is the key to what's really going on in DC's highly anticipated blockbuster. I'd go so far as to say

How ‘Star Wars’ Inspired a Late Change to James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-25 10:15:39

During post-production on Superman, writer-director James Gunn ran into a problem. “We found that people loved the movie but that they were confused about the world they were entering,” Gunn told io9 recently. And so, to fix that problem, late in the filmmaking process, he looked to another one of his favorite films for the fix. When Superman hits theaters this week, it opens with six sentences that set up not just the world of the DC Universe, but Superman’s origin and the film’s plot, all in

James Gunn Turned Down Making a ‘Superman’ Movie When He First Jumped to DC

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-01-25 15:30:52

Unless you’ve been living under a rock avoiding all social media rumblings about comic book movies, you’ll be extremely aware that DC Studios and James Gunn’s Superman movie, starring David Corenswet, releases this week. While the film is already receiving mostly rave reviews, is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and is projected to make at least $200 million globally on its opening weekend, its director revealed that he was approached to create a Supes film seven years ago but turned it down.

‘Superman’ Soars

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-28 00:00:56

It takes mere seconds for James Gunn’s Superman to cast a spell on its audience. The film is not just an introduction to a brand-new Superman but to an entire new DC Universe, and with a very clever, very exciting, very intense collection of sentences that appear on screen, it’s instantly clear how different and resonant this film is about to be. The information sets the tone, stage, and stakes in moments, as each statement reverberates with intensity and anticipation. And that’s just the first

Local Grifters Discover Superman Is From Another Planet

It is unsurprising to anyone with even an iota of experience with Superman—whether they’ve picked up a comic, watched a TV show, or seen a movie at any point over the last nearly 90 years—that the character has had an immigration parallel at the heart of his story. A child of two worlds, created by immigrants, Kal-El’s escape from Krypton to find a home where he is raised to embrace the values of the American ideal is a touchstone that has been woven through almost a century of storytelling.

‘Rick and Morty’ Let Zack Snyder and James Gunn Fight Over Superman

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-30 23:20:38

“Ricker Than Fiction,” the latest episode of Rick and Morty, felt in some ways like a throwback to season four episode “Never Ricking Morty,” which similarly interrogated the storytelling process. But instead of a “Story Train” and characters with distressingly overdeveloped abs, we got a “Movie-Lizer” (a Rick invention designed to right the wrongs of the show’s in-universe “Maximum Velocitree” blockbuster franchise) and the distressingly overdeveloped biceps of one Zack Snyder. Joining a long

James Gunn Reveals His Lightbulb Moment While Writing ‘Superman’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-04 20:15:08

James Gunn sure loves animals. We see this every week on social media as the DC Studios president posts photos of his pets but also in his filmmaking. It was famously the idea of bringing a raccoon to life that gave Gunn the confidence to tackle Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel. And, with his upcoming film Superman, he found inspiration in a very similar way. “It was just difficult to figure out where I was going to come from with Superman,” Gunn said speaking to io9 in Los Angeles last week.

What James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Tells Us About the Future of the DC Universe

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-07 02:00:43

It’s been years since James Gunn and Peter Safran first announced their plans for the future of the DC Universe. In that time, plans have changed slightly, and work is ongoing, but, with one exception, we have yet to see exactly how things are going to play out. That changes July 11 with the release of Superman. Not only is the film our first introduction to this brand-new, reimagined version of Superman, it’s our first look at what Gunn and Safran’s DC Universe looks like on the big screen. Sp

The ‘Superman’ We Need Right Now: A Report From the Set of James Gunn’s New DC Film

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-14 00:00:31

When Superman started kissing the football on a stick, it all clicked together. The day was June 24, 2024 and io9 was in Cleveland to watch the filming of James Gunn’s Superman. At the end of a giant battle over the streets of Metropolis, the Man of Steel knelt down to kiss and profess his love to an inanimate object that special effects would later transform into his dog, Krypto. That little dash of heartfelt weirdness, in the middle of a massive action scene, did a near-perfect job of showing

Why ‘Superman’ Has So Many Superheroes in It

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-15 10:00:55

Even before seeing it, it’s clear there are many, many things that set James Gunn’s Superman apart from other versions of the character. One is that, though this is very much a Superman movie, Superman interacts with a bunch of other superheroes. There’s the Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and more. It was an interesting choice for Gunn to make, especially since this is our first real glimpse at the larger DC Universe he’s helping to create. So we asked him about it. Speak

James Gunn Says ‘Get Off Matt’s Nuts,’ ‘The Batman’ Sequel Will Happen When It Happens

Cool your jets Batman fans, James Gunn has heard you loud and clear over the highly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman. So much so that he recently expressed his frustration with the demand in defense of the time DC Studios was taking. “Listen, we’re supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. We feel really good about it,” Gunn told Entertainment Weekly, and colorfully added, “People should get off Matt’s nuts because it’s like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amo

James Gunn Calls Batman His Biggest Problem in the DC Universe

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-12 09:17:20

When you’re in charge of DC, there are three things you know you have to get right: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. That’s why, when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in 2023, plans were immediately put in place for the Holy Trinity of the company. The first part of that, Superman, is about to come to the big screen on July 11, but the other two pieces are still in flux. “Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally,” Gunn told Rolling Stone. “And it’s not—I’m
