James Gunn’sSupermanis one of the most anticipated movies of 2025, withDavid Corenswet being the latest actorto portray the Man of Steel on the big screen. Most DC fans (aside from the Zack Snyder diehards) are desperate forSupermanto be a hit and revitalize the DC Universe on the big screen after years of divisive movies. The first test screenings of James Gunn’s latest film have already happened, with the director confirming that some minor reshoots will be taking place before its theatrical release on June 27, 2025. But, fans are desperate to know what the first test audiences are saying about the film. Two reports have been released supposedly quoting the test screening viewers, and the reactions couldn’t be more juxtaposed.
DCU’s David Corenswet Teases Superman’s Future After James Gunn’s Movie
Where could Superman appear next in the DC universe?
That news may come as a dagger to the heart for those who are optimistic aboutSupermansuccessfully rebooting the DCUon the big screen. But, not all hope is lost. Speaking on The John Campea Show, the eponymous host gave a juxtaposing report about the first reactions toSuperman’s test screenings. “I will come out and say the exact opposite,” Campea said in reference to Sneider’s report. “I’ve heard [Superman’s] tremendously good.”
Both reports should be viewed as speculative, as neither of their sources have been confirmed to have been a part ofSuperman’s test screenings…or even real. It is better to base your first reactions and opinions onSupermanon the official promotional footage rather than questionable sources and reports. Fans can develop their own opinions onSuperman’s quality when the film is released in theaters on July 11.
‘Superman’s Reshoots Explained
Both opposing reports aboutSuperman’s test screenings may be questionable, but one definite fact has come out of the process:Supermanwill be going back for some minor reshoots. This was revealed byJames Gunn himself during a recent DC Studios press conference.“We’ve done real screenings,” the director confirmed. “Definitely learning stuff all the time, definitely editing and making little changes.”
The term “reshoot” has become a buzzword that causes panic in the hearts of fans. But, James Gunn reassured the DC fan base thatSuperman’s reshoots will only be minor details, with the actor citing some fight scenes as his main cause for concern. “‘You know what? I wish I had a shot that fist hitting that,'” Gunn said as one example.
Alongside Corenswet,Supermanwill also star Milly Alcock, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Frank Grillo, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, and more. FollowingSuperman, the DCU will return to the big screen ayear later withSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
