James Gunn is sharing his appreciation for his Superman collaborators as the movie wraps filming.
The filmmaker took to social media on Tuesday to share a set photo and message of gratitude for the team behind the DC Studios feature that reboots the iconic character. Warner Bros. is set to release Superman in theaters on July 11, 2025.
“And that’s a wrap,” Gunn wrote. “God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.”
He continued, “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set — and for that I am forever grateful.”
Superman stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It marks the first feature film from the new slate of projects overseen by DC Studios bosses Gunn and Peter Safran.
Rounding out the film’s cast are Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner), Wendell Pierce (Perry White) and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer).
Gunn’s new post included a photo of the team in snowy Svalbard, Norway, during its initial week of shooting.
Superman is the first film to feature the character since Henry Cavill played the role in a number of titles. Cavill debuted his take on Superman in Zack Snyder’s 2013 movie Man of Steel.
