At this year's CinemaCon, significant announcements and reveals were made regarding the Superman franchise. James Gunn, now at the helm of the DC Universe, teased the first look at the new Superman logo and shared an update on the forthcoming Superman movie starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel. The movie, currently in principal photography, promises a fresh take on the iconic character, drawing inspiration from comics like 'All Seasons' and 'All-Star Superman,' yet asserting its unique storyline. In addition to the reboot news, a documentary titled 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' was announced, set to release in theaters this September through Fathom Events. The documentary will explore Christopher Reeve's life, focusing on his activism following a paralyzing equestrian accident. This film marks the first under the DC Studios label and has garnered attention for its exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage of Reeve, his family, and friends. The announcements have sparked anticipation for what's dubbed as the 'Summer of Superman' in 2025, with Gunn and the cast expected to promote the film at next year's CinemaCon. Additionally, Gunn is open to having Henry Cavill, the former Superman, return in another role within the DC Universe.
