Superhero movie by James Gunn, titled 'Superman', to premiere on HBO Max this coming Friday
In an exciting turn of events, the latest Superman film, produced by James Gunn, is set to release on HBO Max this Friday. This highly-anticipated movie has already made waves in the film industry, becoming the highest-grossing superhero film of 2025.
Starring David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the film has earned an impressive 82% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It opened strongly in cinemas in July and has currently taken in just over US$615 million worldwide at the box office, making it the highest grossing Superman film ever in the US.
The film's box office performance is not only a significant achievement for the Superman franchise but also for HBO Max. Its success could impact the overall financial performance of the streaming platform. Moreover, the film's performance may influence the success of future collaborations between Gunn and Warner Bros or DC Studios.
James Gunn, who has previously been involved in developing and producing projects within the DC Universe such as "Guardians of the Galaxy" and other upcoming DCU films like "Supergirl" and "Clayface" slated for 2026, is driving the new DC Universe and its film slate forward.
The film's box office performance may also impact the reputation of Warner Bros in the film industry. After several box office misfires, Gunn's Superman film is expected to bring consistent success for the studio and DC Studios.
However, the film has been involved in controversy over its immigrant themes. Despite this, the release of the Superman film is seen as a key test for Warner Bros and DC Studios. The film's box office numbers for the week following its release on HBO Max are yet to be reported.
The Superman film's main theme, as announced by Gunn, is to highlight kindness rather than deliver a political message. This focus on character and values aligns with Gunn's approach to storytelling and sets a new tone for the DC Universe.
In conclusion, the success of the new Superman film could shape the future direction of DC Studios' film releases and the reputation of Warner Bros in the film industry. With its strong box office performance and positive critical reception, it's an exciting time for fans of the Superman franchise and the DC Universe.
