On Instagram, Gunn shared a photo that sees him, Corenswet, and Brosnahan reading Superman comics. “On this day in 1938 the first superhero entered our atmosphere via the imaginations of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster,” Gunn’s caption reads. “He gave us someone to believe in, not because of his great physical power, but because of his character and determination to do right no matter what. Happy #Superman Day to all of you! #UpUpandAway.”
Corenswet is playing the Man of Steel in Superman, which is written and directed by Gunn, while Brosnahan is playing Lois Lane.
The cast of the movie also includes Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.
Superman will be the first official film entry in Gunn and Peter Safran’s forthcoming DCU . The new shared universe officially kicks off later this year with an animated Creature Commandos series, which stars Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as the Bride of Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus, Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot and Weasel, Steve AGee as John Economos, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Anya Chalotra as Circe.
Additional forthcoming DCU movies include The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing, and Teen Titans. Planned DCU television series include Peacemaker Season 2, Waller, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, Booster Gold, and an untitled Arkham series.
Superman releases in United States theaters on July 11, 2025.
