One of the most anticipated comic book movies of next year just got a major reveal from the writer and director. On hispersonal Threads account, DC co-CEOJames Gunnunveiled the first look atSupermanmerchandise, which comes in the form of a coaster that shows the Metropolis City Seal. This is one ofmany updates that Gunn has dished out on social media, whether it’s revealing set photos unprompted or responding to fans honestly when being asked genuine questions about his creative process. The city seal looks distinctly old-school, which lines up well with previous set photos of The Daily Planet and other iconic locations which appear starkly different from previousSupermandirectorZack Snyder’s vision of the city.
Just in the last couple of weeks, Gunn has revealed to fans thatSupermanhas wrapped filming in Cleveland — a stop on the filming tour which resulted inplenty of set photos being released to the public— andhe also unveiled the official Superman logo, which could previously be seen onDavid Corenswet’s Man of Steel super suit.Supermanis due in theaters in less than one year on August 08, 2025, meaning its biggest contender as the schedule currently sits isThe Fantastic Four, which will release two weeks later on July 25. Gunn made a major name for himself working on theGuardians of the Galaxymovies for Marvel, and next summer he’ll go toe-to-toe with his former co-workers for box office glory.
