James Gunn Says Don't Worry, Set Leaks Won't Spoil the DCU's Superman
You didn't DC a thing.
Despite a handful of Superman set photo leaks appearing online, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has reassured fans they won't spoil a thing.
In posts on Threads, Gunn responded to a series of fans asking about set leaks and rumors, first by confirming that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow star Milly Alock is not currently in Cleveland for Superman filming.
What is in Cleveland, however, is Superman's cast and sets. IGN revealed images of the Daily Planet set in June 2024, for example, while other images emerged and showed David Corenswet as Superman alongside what appeared to be Mister Terrific.
But fans worried about having the highly anticipated film spoiled by set photos like these needn't. When asked for his thoughts on the set leaks, Gunn said they were "fully expected." As a result, he told another fan, the movie has been spoiled "not even a little," he added. "I'd never shoot a big spoiler outside in the middle of the city."
Those looking forward to Superman can therefore rest easy knowing all the important reveals can only be seen when the film premieres on July 11, 2025.
Superman, previously Superman: Legacy, will be the first film in the rebooted DCU's Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, but it's definitely not an origin story and also features a ton of other DC heroes and villains.
Alongside Corenswet's Superman stands Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, and the film also stars Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, María Gabriela as The Engineer, and more. Gunn confirmed these actors will play the roles in other DCU projects too.
Chapter 1 of the DCU also features TV shows, and while the exact contents have shuffled a tad since Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran announced it in 2023, an animated series called Creature Commandos will officially kick off the new universe in December 2024.
