Superman (2025)

10 maanden, 1 week - Who's winning the summer superhero blockbuster battle? IGN sat down to discuss Superman and Fantastic Four and the state of the union when it comes to all things MCU and DCU at SDCC 2025. Marvel Studios has been in a bit of a slump of late, with hopes that Fantastic Four, the kickoff for Phase 6, will revitalize fans and reinvigorate interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile the DC Universe has found itself in a reset on the small and big screens as James Gunn takes the helm after a soft reception of the former iteration, the DCEU. Is superhero fatigue real? Will Superman be the kick in the pants the MCU needs to return to building sturdy foundations and keeping their hero stories fresh? Join our experts as they discuss that and more. And don't worry — the team keeps everything spoiler-free ahead of Fantastic Four's release. Presented by FX’s Alien: Earth.

10 maanden, 3 weken - In all of pop culture there are few characters more globally recognizable than Superman. With a comic debut in the 30s and countless radio, tv and big screen appearances in the decades since, there have been plenty of actors don the cape and tights of the last son of Krypton. But how many of them have gotten it right? Let's take a look at all the live action Kal-El's over the decades and breakdown what it takes to be a good Superman.

10 maanden, 3 weken - Zack Snyder has graciously passed the torch to James Gunn and Henry Cavill has happily handed over his cape to David Corenswet, and yet somehow the social media civil war over Superman continues to rage: What kind of Superman fan are you? It might be a minefield we're stepping into, but it's time to look at the evidence and make the case for and against each director. It's Snyder vs Gunn in the great debate of our Super-times.

Nu de James Gunn-reboot van Superman in de bioscoop draait, kunnen spelers Fortnite induiken om de rol van de Krptoniaanse held op zich te nemen en iedereen op de kaart uit te roeien, althans voor een korte periode. Hier is de Superman-gameplay in Fortnite.

10 maanden, 3 weken - James Gunn’s Superman is finally in theaters and it brings with it a bombshell of a surprise when it comes to The Man of Steel and his Kryptonian origins. Starring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan, the film sets the foundation for the upcoming DCU with plenty of twists, turns and surprises for fans. Lex Luthor and Superman go head to head as Clark Kent and Lois Lane work to figure out their relationship during the most tumultuous time of Kal-El’s story yet (at least so far as this version of Superman is concerned). The first DCU adventure hints at plenty of future surprises from Co-DC Studios Chairs James Gunn and Peter Safran and, if we’re very lucky, Krypto will be involved in as many of them as possible.

10 maanden, 4 weken - Superman (2025), reviewed by Tom Jorgensen.Superman is a wonderfully entertaining, heartfelt cinematic reset for the Man of Steel, and a great new start for the DC universe on the big screen. David Corenswet is a natural, benevolent Superman, Nicholas Hoult’s egomaniacal Lex Luthor gives him the perfect foil, and by minute two, you’ll be willing to burn a thousand Kryptons if it means saving Supes’ chaotic, good-boy companion Krypto the Superdog. Director and DCU maestro James Gunn throws a lot at us here and trusts that decades of practice watching superhero movies will carry us through any storytelling corners he’s cutting in favor of keeping the pace brisk and the fun abundant. It’s a dense and at times overwhelming adventure, but it feels like the right one for the moment.

10 maanden, 4 weken - We’ve all heard the spiel about Superman before. He’s faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. In short, he’s one of the most powerful fictional characters ever conceived, able to break the laws of physics and bend time itself with impunity.That said, Superman’s powers are nothing if not evolving. They’ve ebbed and flowed a lot over the decades, with the character evolving from super-strong defender of the downtrodden to all-powerful, godlike superhero to the more well-rounded character he is today. The only constant with Superman is his inconsistency.With actor David Corenswet introducing moviegoers to the latest cinematic incarnation of the Man of Steel, let’s take a step back to examine how Superman’s powers have evolved and changed over the years, from the earliest Superman comics to the campy excesses of the Silver Age and right on into the modern era.Superman is directed by James Gunn and stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced. The film hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
