Superman is the brainchild of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who first envisioned the character in 1932 and later had his first appearance in Action Comics #1 in June 1938. What Jerry and Joe did not know at the time was that they had created a character that would become the signature icon of DC Comics and the most universally recognized hero in human history.
Since 1938, the character of Superman/Clark Kent has appeared in every imaginable media form including television, film, novelizations, and even a Broadway show.
Being Superman is the childhood fantasy of every little boy and girl (they of course want to be Supergirl). He is an enduring emblem of the American dream, the young immigrant who comes to the United States, embraces the culture and makes something of himself and enriches his adopted nation. He is a classical hero in the modern age who fights criminals, rescues the helpless and has a sense of morals and justice as strong and unshakeable as he is.
Since 1998, the Superman Super Site's mission statement has been to bring you all the latest news, updates, and information pertaining to the Man of Steel and the Superman universe in general.
It is a mission we are proud to maintain for all the fellow Superman fans of the world and everyone who visits our site because, without you, we would not exist.
Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios have released the full 5-minute-long sneak peek clip of "Superman" which was recently featured at CinemaCon earlier this week at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Superman," DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
The film stars David Corenswet ("Twisters," "Hollywood") in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel") as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the "X-Men" movies, "Juror #2") as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi ("For All Mankind"), Anthony Carrigan ("Barry," "Gotham"), Nathan Fillion (the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, "The Suicide Squad"), Isabela Merced ("Alien Romulus"), Skyler Gisondo ("Licorice Pizza," "Booksmart"), Sara Sampaio ("At Midnight"), María Gabriela de Faría ("The Moodys"), Wendell Pierce ("Selma," "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan"), Alan Tudyk ("Andor"), Pruitt Taylor Vince ("Bird Box") and Neva Howell ("Greedy People").
"Superman" is executive produced by Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars Winther. Behind the camera, Gunn is joined by frequent collaborators, including director of photography Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky and composer John Murphy, along with editors William Hoy ("The Batman"), Jason Ballantine (the "IT" films, "The Flash") and Craig Alpert ("Deadpool 2," "Blue Beetle").
"Superman" will be in theaters and IMAX nationwide on July 11, 2025, and internationally beginning 9 July 2025, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
A new promotional banner for "Superman" (2025) was recently unveiled at CinemaCon and shared by CinePop, a film and entertainment company based in the Philippines known for producing and distributing films, as well as hosting events and festivals celebrating film and pop culture.
The banner highlights a striking backlit version of the newly redesigned "S" shield and Superman text, set against the dynamic backdrop of the Metropolis skyline. The Daily Planet building, complete with its iconic globe, stands tall in the background, adding to the unmistakable Superman atmosphere.
"Superman" (2025), distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, will hit theaters and IMAX in the U.S. on July 11th, 2025, with international audiences getting the chance to see it starting July 9th, 2025.
The highly anticipated "Superman" movie took center stage at Warner Bros. Discovery's presentation at CinemaCon 2025 yesterday evening. The two-hour panel, titled The Big Picture, provided attendees with an exclusive first look at some of the studio's upcoming blockbusters, including James Gunn's new "Superman" film, slated for release in July 2025.
The event, which ran from 4:30pm to 6:30pm PDT on Tuesday, April 1, saw members of the star-studded cast in attendance, including David Corenswet (Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) along with DC Studios co-chairs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The panel gave fans and industry insiders an exciting preview of the next chapter in the iconic Superman saga, including a thrilling five-minute teaser that highlighted the tone and key themes of the movie.
SPOILER ALERT: Highlights from the Sneak Peek
The preview opened with a dramatic sequence showcasing Superman (played by David Corenswet) crash-landing in a snow-covered landscape, gravely injured. His loyal super-powered dog, Krypto, rushes to the rescue, initially hurting Superman in his excitement to play before managing to drag him to safety. In a touching moment, Superman tells Krypto, "Take me home," capturing the heartwarming bond between the two characters.
The teaser also introduced several significant elements, including:
• A new musical score accompanying the action
• The Fortress of Solitude emerging from the ground
• An entrance door emblazoned with the iconic "S" shield
• Helper robots aiding Superman, using yellow sunlight to heal his injuries
• A tense moment where Superman screams in pain during the healing process
Additional scenes featured Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) interviewing Superman in his Clark Kent persona, while an amusing exchange shows Superman scolding Krypto for making a mess in the Fortress of Solitude. The footage also teased a menacing appearance by Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, who ominously declares, "He's back." A brief but memorable cameo from Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner added an extra layer of excitement for fans.
In a candid and insightful interview with Time Magazine, 31-year-old actor David Corenswet opened up about his much-anticipated role as the Man of Steel in director James Gunn's upcoming film, "Superman" which is set to release on July 11th, 2025. Despite being on the verge of international stardom, Corenswet has remained grounded, choosing to live a surprisingly normal life near his family in suburban Philadelphia, where he raises his one-year-old daughter with his wife.
Unlike many of his Hollywood peers, Corenswet has chosen not to relocate to Los Angeles or New York but instead remains in the area that feels like home. "Actors can get away with being anywhere as long as you have a nice self-tape setup for auditions," Corenswet explains. "Most productions now film in places like Toronto, Atlanta, or London anyway, so I don't need to be anywhere in particular."
The actor, a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School, has built a reputation for his intellectual curiosity and thoughtful approach to his craft. In his Time interview, Corenswet recalls how he often challenged his professors during his time at Juilliard, saying, "Some teachers would say that I was difficult because I love a good argument. I'm happy to be wrong. I just want to be convinced.” This intellectual drive is evident in his current work with James Gunn, who describes Corenswet as "a pain in the ass" for asking numerous questions about every scene but also praises how those questions elevate his performance into something "magical."
Corenswet landed the role of Superman while still filming his portrayal of the villain in Twisters. When asked about whether taking on such a high-profile character was a career-defining decision, he admits that he asked himself, "Would this be worth doing if this was the only thing I do as an actor for the rest of my life?" His answer? "I think the answer is yes."

In a decision that marks the end of an era for thrill-seekers, Six Flags Magic Mountain has officially announced the permanent closure of its iconic 'Superman: Escape from Krypton' roller coaster. The ride, which was once hailed as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, will no longer operate, according to Jeff Harris, President of Six Flags Magic Mountain.
"Just like other roller coasters within the theme park industry, there's a life cycle with these coasters," stated Harris during a video conference. "It's just reached a point in time where we need to make a wise decision on where we really should reinvest funds that improve the guest experience the most. It just doesn't make a lot of sense from a business perspective to put it back into Superman."
The iconic coaster, which launched riders to speeds of 100 mph in just 7 seconds, was a record-setter when it debuted in 1997 as 'Superman: The Escape'. Despite efforts to repair the ride during its maintenance period last September, the coaster's aging infrastructure and the scarcity of necessary parts have led to its permanent shutdown.
"It's too early to disclose what we're going to do with the actual track, cars, queue, building structure and everything else that comes with the attraction," added Harris. "That's yet to be determined, but we're working through what that potentially could look like for the future."
While 'Superman: Escape from Krypton' will no longer be in operation, the 'Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom' - the drop tower ride attached to the same tower structure - will continue to thrill guests. It will reopen in April following a seasonal refurbishment.
Although 'Superman: Escape from Krypton' will no longer be part of Magic Mountain's ride lineup, the Superman legacy will live on through the park's 'Justice League: Battle for Metropolis' dark ride, character meet-and-greet experiences, and themed events like the upcoming DC Heroes and Villains Fest this summer.

"With a vibrant, fruity taste, it transports fans straight back to carefree summer days and childhood memories."
Faygo, known for its unique and adventurous flavors like Rock & Rye and Redpop, has been innovating and releasing new drinks that excite and inspire its loyal following. Super Pop joins the company's growing list of exciting new offerings, including Bomb Pop-inspired Firework, Cotton Candy, and Jolly Green Apple.

"From inception to endless testing, to hitting store shelves - it takes a lot of tasting and teamwork. These new flavors have been a passion project for our team."
Super Pop's electric blue hue and vibrant fruity flavor are expected to become a fan favorite, adding another exciting chapter to Faygo's legacy of iconic Michigan flavors.
