Listen up, Man of Steel devotees! Circle 11 July 2025 on your calendars, because Superman is rocketing into Ster-Kinekor cinemas—and it’s nothing short of legendary. We can guarantee that this isn’t just another Kryptonian caper; it’s a fresh, high-flying reimagining of the ultimate hero’s origin and journey.

Directed by creative visionary James Gunn—in his fifth collaboration with IMAX—this landmark release marks the official launch of the DC Universe and celebrates the return of one of the world’s most iconic heroes. As part of the Filmed for IMAX® program, Gunn leveraged IMAX’s technology throughout the filmmaking process. Superman was shot with IMAX-certified digital cameras and is presented entirely in IMAX’s exclusive 1.90:1 Expanded Aspect Ratio. The result? A breathtaking cinematic experience that blends Gunn’s signature style with the unmatched scale of IMAX.

So, whether you’ve always worn the famous S on your jammies (big kids included—no judgment), or this is your very first trip to Metropolis, Superman delivers all the powers, pulse-pounding action, and heart that make Superman an icon—plus a few surprises guaranteed to make you believe in heroes all over again.

Curious about what’s next on the movie horizon? Take a peek at what’s Coming Soon at Ster-Kinekor.

After his success with Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, James Gunn brings his signature heart, humour, and style to the world’s most iconic superhero. Gunn’s version of Clark Kent isn’t just about muscle and flight—it’s about kindness, identity, and the timeless struggle between good and greatness. In Superman, Gunn explores a younger, more balanced Superman, navigating both newsroom deadlines and galaxy-sized responsibilities. Expect emotional depth, dazzling action, and that unique Gunn twist that made his previous superhero films unforgettable.

The film explores Clark Kent / Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his adoptive human family in Smallville, Kansas.

That’s all we know - but here's a trailer for you to enjoy.

As Clark Kent / Superman, David Corenswet steps into the boots of the beloved Kryptonian. His take? A grounded, introspective hero who’s “madly in love” with Lois Lane, building friendships with other heroes, and learning how to navigate a world that doesn’t always value compassion. Inspired by All-Star Superman and Christopher Reeve’s legacy, Corenswet’s performance promises to be a fresh yet faithful take on the character.

And yes, Krypto the Superdog will make an appearance.

Opposite Corenswet is Rachel Brosnahan as the ever-sharp Lois Lane, a Daily Planet journalist who isn’t easily won over—even by Superman. Brosnahan brings wit, intelligence, and modern realism to a character that’s as crucial to Superman’s story as the suit and cape. She did her homework too, consulting real-life journalists to update Lois for today’s world.

Stealing scenes and raising eyebrows is Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor—a genius CEO whose hatred for Superman is as intense as his need for recognition. Hoult describes his Luthor as obsessive and relentless, drawing inspiration from Smallville’s Michael Rosenbaum and even the intense persona of Steve Jobs. This Lex Luthor isn’t just a villain; he’s a force of ideology and science with a chilling agenda.

Gunn's DC Universe doesn’t stop with Superman. Superman introduces us to a host of new heroes from the Justice Gang, funded by the mysterious Maxwell Lord:

Edi Gathegi plays Mister Terrific, a tech-savvy genius who fights for justice after personal tragedy.

Anthony Carrigan transforms into Metamorpho, the elemental-shifting archaeologist grappling with his own identity.

Nathan Fillion brings his trademark charm and edge to Green Lantern Guy Gardner - and yes, the bowl cut is in full effect.

Isabela Merced soars as Hawkgirl, a reincarnated warrior with wings and serious attitude.

With this diverse team, expect high-stakes action, big personalities, and a taste of what's to come in the expanding DC Universe.

Rounding out the cast are Wendell Pierce as the no-nonsense editor Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as the energetic photographer Jimmy Olsen, Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, and Christopher McDonald as fellow Daily Planet staff. On the villain side, María Gabriela de Faría appears as The Engineer, while voice talents like Alan Tudyk, Michael Rooker, and Grace Chan bring to life Superman's robotic allies. Even Christopher Reeve’s son, Will Reeve, will make a touching cameo.
