The Superman storyline is being kept under wraps as of now, but many hints and revelations have helped fans get an idea of the film.
It is a given that the film will not follow an origin tale. Rather, the emphasis will be on the way a teenage Clark Kent, living with his adoptive family in Smallville, Kansas, reconciles his Kryptonian origin with his “normal” life as an emerging reporter for The Daily Planet. Lex Luthor, the film’s primary antagonist, will likewise be heavily featured, according to Gunn.
The film is set to release in July 2025.
