The highly anticipated Superman, directed by James Gunn and released on July 11, 2025, has ignited passionate discussions among fans. While the film has been praised for its action sequences and David Corenswet’s portrayal of the Man of Steel, one major element that has drawn significant attention is the character of Jor-El and a major alteration to the motivations of Superman’s Kryptonian parents.
With so much conflicting information out there, how much does Superman actually need to make at the box office to be profitable?
The 2025 Superman film, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, represents a pivotal reboot for the DC Universe (DCU) under Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Released on July 11, 2025, the movie has already generated significant buzz, both positive and negative.
In the high-stakes world of superhero cinema, where global dominance often determines a franchise’s fate, James Gunn’s Superman has soared domestically but stumbled overseas. While the film’s $122 million North American opening weekend marks a triumphant reboot for DC Studios—though still falling short of Man of Steel’s $128.7 million—the international haul tells a far less heroic story.
In a surprising turn, James Gunn’s rebooted Superman leapt into theaters Thursday night with a powerful $22.5 million box office from preview showings—flying in the face of industry projections and making it one of the biggest Thursday debuts in DC history. This has ignited fresh optimism for its box office future.

In a quiet but telling moment from Warner Bros. Discovery’s post-merger restructuring, CEO David Zaslav reportedly made the call to halt development on a high-profile Black Superman movie being written by author Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams. The project, envisioned as a civil rights-era period piece, was deemed by Zaslav to be “too woke,” according to a Wall Street Journal report published this week.
Dean Cain, the actor best known for portraying Superman in the hit 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is joining the growing chorus of critics who are pushing back against James Gunn’s upcoming Superman reboot.
In a newly published GQ cover story on actor David Corenswet, Superman director James Gunn revealed details about their on-set relationship. The most attention-grabbing moment comes when Gunn admits that during filming, he occasionally told Corenswet to “shut the f*** up” — and proudly states that the actor “does not take that personally.”
Twelve years ago, Man of Steel kicked off what would eventually become the Snyderverse with a respectable $128.7 million domestic box office opening weekend for a Superman film. Now, projections for James Gunn’s rebooted Superman suggest it may not even reach that benchmark—despite having every modern advantage in its corner.
Just hours after film critic and YouTube host Grace Randolph declared James Gunn’s Superman the “BEST Superman movie to date,” her exact words began ricocheting across X from a slew of accounts parroting identical praise. And when we say identical, we mean identical.
