Originally announced as Superman: Legacy, Gunn's film will be the latest big-screen reboot of the Man of Steel, and the first feature film in a new DC Universe of interconnected films and shows, overseen by Gunn and Peter Safran, following the DC Extended Universe, whose Superman was played by Henry Cavill in four films.

The plot of Gunn's Superman remains largely unknown, although the presence of certain characters in the cast offers some clues. Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane; Skyler Gisondo is Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce is Perry White and Nicholas Hoult is the latest iteration of Lex Luthor.

Gunn already debuted the first poster for the movie earlier this week.
