"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

"Superman," written and directed by James Gunn, brings Clark Kent and his superhero alter ego back to the silver screen.

Writer and director James Gunn is celebrating after Superman — the first film under his watch as DC Studios launches its Gods and Monsters phase — soared to a US$122 million box office opening at North American movie theatres over the weekend.

Gods and Monsters is officially in motion in theaters with the release of Superman, and the writer, director, and producer has scored big at the box office.

Superman director James Gunn has reacted to the success of the new DCU movie after a massive opening weekend at the box office. The film has also garnered largely positive reviews from critics. The cast features David Corenswet in the titular role, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and more.

James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet in the cape, has had an impressive start at the Indian box office, despite a noticeable dip in collections on its first Monday. The reboot has outperformed current Bollywood releases and is already among the top-performing Hollywood films of 2025 in India.

James Gunn is feeling “incredibly grateful” for the initial box office success of Superman and the positive reception from audiences. The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios took to Threads on Sunday to express his appreciation after the superhero blockbuster saw an estimated global debut of $217 million .
