A New Era Begins
Zack Snyder's Man of Steel has been the movie Superman since 2013, but with a brand new DCU behind him, James Gunn is about to show you a whole new side of the Man of Steel, one that feels both fresh and familiar.
Grounding The Hero In Modern Challenges
Man of Steel has defenders, but it's a different world for comic book movies than it was in 2013. It’s 2025, and James Gunn knows it. Taking everything he's learned from making smaller comic book heroes like the Guardians of the Galaxy come to life, he's ready to show the world what the original super hero can do.
