Superman: Legacy (2025) is a highly anticipated reboot of the Superman franchise, written and directed by James Gunn as part of the new DC Universe (DCU). The film follows Clark Kent as he struggles to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville. Unlike previous iterations, Superman: Legacy aims to showcase a younger, more idealistic version of the Man of Steel, who is still finding his place in a world that doesn’t always align with his unwavering sense of truth and justice.
David Corenswet stars as Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, bringing a fresh take on the iconic characters. The movie introduces a world where superheroes already exist, allowing Superman to interact with legendary figures like Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific. Gunn’s vision focuses on hope, optimism, and the values that define Superman, setting a hopeful tone for the future of the DCU.
With a mix of action, heart, and classic comic book storytelling, Superman: Legacy promises to be a defining chapter in the Superman mythos, offering both longtime fans and newcomers an exciting new journey with the beloved superhero.
