James Gunn Shatters Superman Runtime Rumor and Drops Exciting Update on DC’s Next Big Hit!

by

Among all the movies scheduled for 2025, none excites me more than James Gunn’s forthcoming Superman film. While I can’t guarantee its greatness, there are many compelling reasons to expect it will be fantastic, and the possibility of something truly exceptional is quite high. Therefore, learning that the movie, which is scheduled for release in just over a month, is nearly complete, only increases my anticipation.

On Threads, James Gunn clarified another film rumor by stating its origin was unfounded. The speculation centered around the runtime of Superman, reportedly two hours and two minutes. However, Gunn explained that the official runtime hasn’t been determined because the movie isn’t completely finished yet. Yet, the completion day is almost here, as there are just a few visual effects (VFX) shots left to be completed. Gunn shared…

The information provided seems to be incorrect. While we are wrapping up a few Visual Effects (VFX) shots over the weekend, this doesn’t affect the actual running time of the project.

Essentially, the running time of the film isn’t crucial. It’ll be as long as it needs to be to tell its story effectively. With an increasing number of blockbusters exceeding the two-hour mark, it’s not very probable that the movie will undergo extensive editing beyond what James Gunn deems necessary. In the past, we might have witnessed films with wide appeal being trimmed down without a solid reason, like meeting a specific runtime, but such instances are less common today.

Essentially, what matters here is that the movie “Superman” is practically finished being made. Regardless of how long I still have to wait to watch it, knowing it’s almost done gives me the sensation that “Superman” is just around the corner, if you catch my drift.

James Gunn’s first installment in his new DCU, “Creature Commandoes,” is now streaming on Max. If you’re looking forward to the upcoming Superman movie, you can catch up with all the previous Superman films available on the platform. With a yearly subscription, you’ll have access to all DC content, making it an attractive option. Alternatively, their cheapest plan starts at $9.99 per month. However, I would suggest considering Max as part of a package deal that includes Disney Plus and Hulu, which starts from $16.99 monthly. Check out the offer here!

In the upcoming debut of the new DC Universe directed by James Gunn, Superman will grace the big screen. With a host of DC Comics characters other than Superman also appearing, this movie promises to explore numerous possibilities for the cinematic universe’s direction. When Iron Man first emerged, we were unsure about Marvel’s plans, but with the unveiling of DC’s new universe, we now have a glimpse into what’s coming up, making Superman’s arrival even more thrilling and significant.

The upcoming release of Superman in July promises a significant cinematic event. Whether it turns out to be an outstanding film or a blockbuster at the box office, one thing’s for sure – Superman will make a substantial impression either way. I can hardly contain my excitement to find out which path it takes. To me, the duration of time spent in the theater is inconsequential compared to the experience itself.
