While the strikes by writers and actors have finally concluded, the repercussions are expected to resonate through Hollywood for several years. Despite these setbacks, Superman: Legacy retains to its original release schedule, providing a welcome relief for fans eagerly anticipating the superhero's latest reboot.
James Gunn confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, that the first DC Universe movie is still on track. The co-CEO of DC Studios thanked the production team working on Superman: Legacy for keeping the ship upright despite the chaos that has engulfed Hollywood for several months.
Thanks to the efforts of our talented crew, who never lost faith during the longest strikes in Hollywood history, and who never let their foot off the pedal, continuing to barrel forward, creating the most amazing character and set designs I've seen in my entire career, Superman: Legacy will be making the originally planned release date of July 11, 2025," Gunn tweeted.
While Superman: Legacy is still two years away, it will be a welcome development for fans of comic book movies. Gunn buttoned up the script for Superman: Legacy before the writers' strike started and found actors for the upcoming film. He will be serving as both writer and director for the Superman reboot.
