DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn announced that February 29 marked the start of production on his highly-anticipated “Superman” movie, which will kick off the rebooted DC Universe under the supervision of him and his DC Studios co-head Peter Safran.
Gunn — the writer-director of the pic — also revealed that the movie, which had been titled “Superman: Legacy,” is now simply called “Superman.”
“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn wrote in a caption to a photo of a close-up of his version of the Superman costume.
He added, “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film ‘Superman: Legacy.’ By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN,” he added. “Making our way to you July 2025.”
