MOVIE NEWS – IMDb has revealed the most anticipated film of 2025, and it’s fantastic news for James Gunn. According to the popular movie and TV platform, the Superman reboot, set to kickstart the new DC Universe, is the most eagerly awaited release of the year.

“IMDb fans are counting down the days until James Gunn’s Superman kicks off the first of five planned films in his ‘Gods and Monsters’ arc as part of the DC Universe reboot. The first teaser showcased a superhero-packed world with appearances from Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, Green Lantern, and fan favorite Krypto the Superdog. Shifting away from Snyder’s darker interpretation of Krypton’s last son, Gunn promises ‘a Superman who is about kindness, love, and compassion… the best of humanity, even though he is an alien.’ We can definitely get behind that.”

As highlighted by IMDb, fans are eagerly anticipating how Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn will reimagine Superman. The trailer’s reveal of a live-action Krypto the Superdog has already been hailed as a brilliant addition. Superman marks DC Studios’ first big-screen release and is slated for a global premiere this summer. Promising epic action, humor, and heartfelt moments, the reboot will present a Superman driven by compassion and an unshakable belief in humanity’s goodness.
