James Gunn Hosts Special Screening of "Superman" Movie in Los Angeles
Posted on November 20, 2024 by Neil Cole
Director James Gunn recently revealed that he hosted a special screening of "Superman" (2025) in Los Angeles. Gunn took to his Bluesky social media account to share a photo of himself alongside his wife on a plane in which he stated, "Back to Peacemaker (ATL) from Superman (LA)." The post suggests that, after a brief visit to LA for the screening, Gunn was heading back to Atlanta, where production for his "Peacemaker" series is currently underway.
When asked whether he was in Los Angeles to oversee pickup shots or to handle post-production work for Superman, Gunn quickly clarified, "Post. Screening." This comment confirms that the screening was part of the film's post-production process, and not for additional filming. Though the identity of the audience at the screening remains a mystery, it is likely that the event included key DC Studios and Warner Bros. executives, as well as some members of the film's cast and crew.
With the film still in post-production, the version shown in LA was probably a rough cut with finishing touches such as visual effects, sound editing, and possibly even some reshoots still being required. This is not uncommon for major blockbuster films, especially those in the superhero genre, which rely heavily on post-production work. Given that "Superman" is slated for release in July, 2025, this screening marks an important milestone in the film's development throughout the final stages of editing.
Previously know as "Superman: Legacy", the film stars Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent.
"Superman" is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
