Excitement is building among DC Universe fans as the Superman Sequel may finally have a release date. Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios released Superman in U.S. theaters in July 2025. Directed by James Gunn, the film starred David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
James Gunn on the Superman Sequel
Moreover, following the success of the first film, James Gunn began teasing the Superman Sequel, saying it will be “a little different than what one might expect.” Furthermore, while his exact meaning is still unclear, Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav described it as “the next movie in the Super-Family.” As a result, this statement has sparked further speculation among fans. In fact, many are now more eager than ever to see what’s ahead for the Man of Steel.
Reported Superman Sequel Release Date
According to insider EmpireCity Box Office, Warner Bros. is reportedly aiming for a July 2027 release for the Superman Sequel. In fact, possible dates being discussed are July 9 or July 16, 2027. Moreover, this timing would mean the film could begin production around the same period as Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II. Meanwhile, fans should keep in mind that this remains a rumor, as neither James Gunn nor DC Studios has confirmed the official release date. Therefore, speculation continues to grow until an official announcement is made.
James Gunn Provides Production Update
In addition, James Gunn confirmed that the treatment for the Superman Sequel is complete and that production will begin sooner than fans might expect. Speaking to Collider, Gunn explained:
“We’re scheduling it now. I’m totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They’re not regular treatments. They’re 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything. And so, now I’m just turning that into a script. We’re planning out when we’re going to shoot that. It’s going to be much sooner rather than later.”
