The movie stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult will portray the classic villain Lex Luthor.
Warner Bros. has set a release date of July 11, 2025, for the film, marking the first standalone Superman project in over a decade since Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill.
