Superman is finally ready to soar back into theaters, but that doesn’t mean moviegoers aren’t still thinking about when another icon will join him in James Gunn’s DCU.

Cleveland, Ohio, to talk to the cast and crew of the upcoming DC Films release, out July 11. When Superman started kissing the football on a stick, it all clicked together. The day was June 24, 2024 and io9 was in Cleveland to watch the filming of James Gunn’s Superman.

Less than two weeks before the release of Superman in cinemas, James Gunn has confirmed that the character will be back sooner than we expected. The director and DC Studios co-head is already teasing the return of the superhero played by David Corenswet, but that doesn't necessarily mean a sequel is already in the works.
