David Corenswet as the titular Kryptonian in James Gunn's Superman.

Superman Movies, Ranked

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-24 00:00:19

It took about 40 years from Superman first gracing the pages of a comic book to finally getting his own, full-fledged live-action blockbuster. In the 40 years since that, the Man of Steel has appeared on the big screen nine times, if you include this week’s latest iteration by James Gunn. By that math, we may be in for many, many more Superman movies over the next few decades. So, before that does or doesn’t happen, we thought it would be time to put them up against each other.

DC Studios’ Superman has, of course, come out of the gate with an extensive line of merch inspired by James Gunn’s new vision for the Man of Steel. That vision places special focus on Krypto the Superdog, which comes as no surprise to fans of the filmmaker. Gunn is a noted animal rescue supporter who has come out on record to say his dog Ozu served as inspiration for Krypto’s role in the upcoming relaunch of DC Universe films.

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

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-26 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 2026-01-26 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.

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.

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.

The world works in mysterious ways, even the world of comic book casting. Nicholas Hoult has been trying to become a superhero for years. He was one of the actors being considered for the lead role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and was also considered to play Superman for James Gunn. Of course, neither of those things worked out, but something else worked out that was even better. Hoult ended up as Lex Luthor, and, it turns out, it was a role that was speaking to him all along.

James Gunn Reveals His Lightbulb Moment While Writing ‘Superman’

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.
