Posted on April 18, 2024 by Neil Cole
In celebration of the 86th Anniversary of Superman's first appearance in "Action Comics No. 1" in 1938, director James Gunn has shared a set photo from his upcoming 2025 "Superman" film.
The photo features Gunn on set alongside actors David Corenswet (Clark Kent/Superman) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) all reading respective copies of "Action Comics #114", "Superman No. 1", and "All-Star Superman".
"On this day in 1938 the first superhero entered our atmosphere via the imaginations of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster," states Gunn in the photo's caption. "He gave us someone to believe in, not because of his great physical power, but because of his character and determination to do right no matter what. Happy Superman Day to all of you! Up, Up, and Away."
"Superman" tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, and Neva Howell as Martha Kent.
"Superman" is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
