AceShowbiz - James Gunn has provided clarity on initial reports suggesting that "Superman" would undergo extensive reshoots. The director and co-head of DC Studios took to social media to confirm that only a limited amount of additional filming will take place.
"Sort of," Gunn wrote on Threads. "Not a few days. We're doing a day and a half of pickup shots. No scenes. No reshoots. Just a handful of individual shots to enhance the film."
Gunn previously emphasized his preference for avoiding reshoots on his projects. "I don't know," Gunn had stated in response to a question on Threads. "I've done a total of one day of reshoots on my past two films combined."
According to Gunn, his approach to reducing the need for reshoots involves over-preparation, a finished script approved by the entire team, hiring competent actors and department heads, and seeking constant challenges and improvement.
"Superman" stars David Corenswet as the titular hero, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and a supporting cast that includes Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Sean Gunn, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced and Nathan Fillion.
The film is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, by Warner Bros.
