The revelation of the new title accompanied a personal note from James Gunn. He stated, “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. Making our way to you July 2025.”
The leaked logo, initially hinted at by Isabella Merced, who portrays Hawkgirl in the movie, had already intrigued fans. The visual confirmation from Gunn solidified the connection to the iconic Kingdom Come comic run, further heightening anticipation for what Superman’s cinematic journey will unfold.
