James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy Movie Gets A New Title, “S” Reveal

James Gunn has revealed the new look for Superman’s “S” as principal photography of the new Superman film starts today (coincidentally, Superman’s birthday). He also revealed something new on his Instagram post:

“When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025,” he posted.

Considering a lot of the promotional material for the Christopher Reeve Superman film was labeled “Superman: The Movie,” this might be one of the first times that simply “Superman” has been the title for anything in live action. The new logo, by the way, is a bit like the one Alex Ross designed for the iconic Kingdom Come miniseries in 1996. That crest was later adapted into Brandon Routh’s suit for the Crisis on Infinite Earths TV event.

Superman, starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
