Superman: Legacy Trailer Won't Be Happening in 2024: James Gunn
With filming not getting underway until March, Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn confirmed that there won't be a trailer this year.
Now that we know that filming is set to start in March, things are heating up in terms of updates on DC Studios Co-CEO & writer/director James Gunn's Superman: Legacy. Recently, we learned that "more" than 90% of the cast was locked in at that point and that there wouldn't be a costume reveal before filming started. Now, Gunn is addressing the infamous "trailer question," responding on Threads that there won't be a trailer this year since "we don't begin filming until March."
Superman: Legacy: Gunn Confirms March 2024 Start; No Fan of Logline
"Not sure where this logline came from. I didn't write it. It has elements of truth (obviously based on things I've said in the past). But I wouldn't describe the plot this way, & I wouldn't call Clark a cub reporter. He's a thirty-year-old full-on reporter," Gunn penned in his social media response from last month, offering an even clearer picture of Clark's age and career level at the point when we meet him while also disavowing the logline included in a number of production lists. As for when filming is expected to begin, Gunn added, "But, yeah, we shoot in March. I'm grateful every day our production team worked their asses off to keep things going through the strikes. Forces impelled us to stop many times – & if we had, we'd never make July 2025."
Set for a July 11, 2025, premiere, DC Studios' Superman: Legacy stars (so far) David Corenswet (Hollywood) as Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane. In addition, the cast includes Nicholas Hoult (The Great) as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced (Sicario: Day of the Soldado) as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho. Now, here's a look back at the screencap we shared prior to Gunn's confirmation that listed March 2024 as being the start of filming:
