‘Superman' Soars Into Theaters Soon: Release Date, Cast, How to Get Tickets and More
It's been 12 years and more than 20 DC movies since a Superman solo adventure came to theaters. Now, in what DC and Warner Bros. have dubbed the 'Summer of Superman,' the Man of Steel is set to once again have his day in the sun. With new trailers, posters, behind-the-scenes videos and real-life advertisements appearing daily, the 'Superman' marketing drive is in full swing.
This July will mark the release of 'Superman,' the first film in a rebooted DC universe with a new cast taking on a slew of iconic heroes and villains. While you wait for the last son of Krypton to fly back to the big screen, here's everything you need to know about 2025's 'Superman.'
'Superman' releases nationwide on July 11, 2025.
The film marks David Corenswet's first time in the capes, boots, and — yes — trunks as Superman. Rounding out the movie's central trio are Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
But these three are far from the only characters joining Clark Kent/Kal-El in Metropolis. Daily Planet staffers like Jimmy Olsen and Perry White and fellow heroes such as Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific will officially join the DCU in the film. With 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' set to hit theaters next summer, don't be shocked if Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) makes a surprise cameo in her cousin's big outing.
For now, here are some of the names we know will be in James Gunn's 'Superman':
David Corenswet as Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El)
Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane
Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor
Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific (Michael Holt)
Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)
Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders)
Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho (Rex Mason)
María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer (Angela Spica)
Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher

James Gunn wrote and directed 'Superman,' which completed post-production in early June. Disney and Marvel Studios temporarily fired Gunn between the second and third 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films, allowing him to write and direct 'The Suicide Squad' for DC. He then became co-CEO of DC Studios after returning to Marvel, endeavoring to relaunch the DC movie universe.
Much of the marketing campaign for 'Superman' highlights Krypto, a super-powered dog and companion to Superman. Debuting in 1955's 'Adventure Comics #210,' Krypto generally arrives on Earth as a survivor of Krypton, much like Kal-El himself. Krypto first appeared on the big screen in 2022's animated 'DC League of Super-Pets' voiced by Dwayne Johnson.
Gunn debuted his version of Krypto — a fully CGI character — back in October during Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Krypto was revealed in a motion poster sitting alongside Superman on the moon — a reference to an iconic panel from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's 'All-Star Superman.' In a Tweet, Gunn said Krypto was partially based on Ozu, a dog he rescued from a hoarding situation and who 'was problematic to say the least.'
'I remember thinking, 'Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?' – and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life.'
Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He… pic.twitter.com/zw8rVqv0n0

'Superman' marks the first feature film of a new DC universe helmed by Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran. 'Creature Commandos,' an animated series Gunn created for Max, became the first official project of the DCU when it released in late 2024 and early 2025. The series, which features the first appearance of Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr., has already been renewed for a second season.
After 'Superman,' the next DCU project will be the second season of 'Peacemaker,' which premieres Aug. 21. Because 'Peacemaker' began as part of the previous DC franchise (featuring cameos from 2017's Justice League lineup), the second season will serve as both a continuation and a soft reboot of the series to integrate it into the new universe. It seems Gunn has fully adopted the messiness of comic book canon.
A number of other projects have been announced and slated for the DCU, including the aforementioned 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' in June 2026. Other entries include a solo Clayface feature in Sept. 2026, a 'Swamp Thing' movie directed by James Mangold and a TV series focused on the Amazons of Themyscira. Both Batman and Wonder Woman, among other heroes, additionally have new films on the way.
Though 'Superman' does not directly adapt any one storyline, Gunn stated on Threads that he drew inspiration from a number of specific comics and adaptations.
Superman's logo in the film reflects a costume worn by the character in Mark Waid and Alex Ross' 'Kingdom Come.' Released in 1996, the story features an older Superman returning to heroics after becoming disillusioned by a new generation of violent vigilantes. The use of this logo may signal a thematic connection to 'Kingdom Come' in the film, as trailers hint at Superman grappling with his place in a world of political agendas and corporate-backed heroes.
'Kingdom Come' appears in a 'Superman' tie-in box set releasing in August. Also included are Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's 'Superman for All Seasons,' Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's 'All-Star Superman,' and Alan Moore and Curt Swan's 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?' — three classic Superman adventures featuring the early and final days of the Man of Steel. It is likely Gunn's movie will draw at least tonal inspiration from each.
DC Comics released a reprint facsimile of Krypto's first appearance, 'Adventure Comics #210,' on June 18. Two lucky fans will find Krypto's Golden Biscuit stickers in their copies, which they can use to claim tickets to the world premiere of 'Superman.'
You can watch the latest trailer for 'Superman' below.

Chelley and Cierra Just Made Love Island USA Season 7 Worth Watching
It finally happened, and baby, it was worth the wait. Love Island USA Season 7 just delivered the queer kiss heard 'round the internet, and social media is in absolute shambles. Tonight's episode saw Chelley Bissainthe and Cierra Ortega lock lips in a moment so charged, so iconic, it may have changed the course of this season and your timeline forever. It was electric. It was sexy. It was history. One X user summed it up best: 'It's finally happening guys!!! Chelley and Cierra are kissing #LoveIslandUSA' What followed was a full-blown meltdown of horny, emotional, and euphoric reactions from every corner of the app. Queer Twitter, sapphic TikTok, the girlies in the group chat, everyone came out swinging with joy and disbelief. 'I know Chelley was starving!' 'need them to win it all tbh' 'shes entertained 3 men in this villa and has not kissed A SINGLE ONE OF THEM LIKE THISDFGHDGFHDG #CIRELLY IS REALLLL' 'i actually jumped and screamed oh my god ' 'Oh hell yeah happy pride!' Yes, the crowd is roaring, and for good reason. At 27, Chelley Bissainthe isn't just playing the game. She's rewriting it. The Florida-born day trader came out as bisexual early in the season with the kind of confidence most of us can only dream of. And not just a cute little mention in a passing convo, either. No. Chelley gave us the tea and the receipts. In a spicy game segment, she casually dropped that she once cheated on a partner by kissing her female friend. Later, she elaborated. She was dating two women at the same time and, yes, had sex with both of them in one day. Name a more iconic confessional. I'll wait. But what's even more groundbreaking is how she's allowed her bisexuality to exist out loud without it being objectified or reduced to some male fantasy. Chelley is living proof that queerness on reality TV can be bold, authentic, and complex. She's not here to be your girl-on-girl-for-the-guys moment. She's here to fall in love, cause chaos, and be a damn good representation for queer viewers watching from their couches with their hearts in their throats. Let's not act like Love Island USA is a bastion of LGBTQ+ inclusivity because it's not. The franchise has historically been straight as hell. But now and then, it slips up and does something radical, and Chelley and Cierra's kiss joins the short but sacred canon. Season 5 gave us Johnnie Garcia and Kassy Castillo's vulnerable, beautiful confession and first same-sex kiss. Kyra Green, who came out as bisexual on the show, is now in a happy relationship with a woman offscreen. And now, in Season 7, we've got Chelley. Fearless, fierce, and kissing a girl on national TV like it's nothing. It should be nothing. But in a landscape where producers still cite 'logistical difficulties' as the reason we can't have a fully queer Love Island (I mean, hello, I Kissed A Girl exists and is thriving) Chelley's presence feels like a rebellion. A kiss in defiance of heteronormativity. A bombshell that shook the villa and the algorithm. Is this the start of a sapphic summer storyline? Please, God, let it be. But even if Chelley and Cierra's kiss doesn't bloom into a full-blown queer romance, fans are demanding that producers give our bisexual queen a little more to work with. Drop a bombshell. Send in a femme fatale. Let her flirt with someone who gets it. If Love Island really wants to prove it's evolving, they'll stop dangling queer moments like bait and start crafting full narratives. Chelley's done the work. Now, give her someone who can match that energy. Whether she finds love or just vibes through the rest of the season in true bad bitch fashion, Chelley's already won something bigger. The hearts of every queer girl on the internet. And if the timeline is any indicator, she's not leaving our screens or our hearts anytime soon.

Peacock Just Dropped the Love Island USA Season 7 Cast and It's Giving Sex, Lies, and Sunburn
Grab your SPF, a vibrator, and a therapist on standby because the seventh circle of horny hell has officially opened. That's right, Peacock has finally dropped the absurdly attractive, barely clothed cast of Love Island USA Season 7 and darling, it's giving 'hot people with no business forming sentences.' The cultural reset is back. The sex appeal is criminal. And if this cast doesn't scream 'we skipped brain day at the gym,' I don't know what does. Streaming June 3, the new season descends on Fiji, where ten genetically unfair individuals will fake fall in love for public validation, PR opportunities, and maybe a little trauma bonding on national TV. Let's meet the cast who will be swapping spit, sobbing in slow motion, and giving us at least five memeable meltdowns before the third recoupling. These aren't contestants. These are walking pheromones in designer swimwear. America, prepare to lose your dignity and your will to live. He's a personal trainer which is reality TV code for 'emotionally unavailable with a god complex.' He has 32 abs and not a single healthy attachment style. The golden retriever boyfriend type. Until he doesn't get picked at the fire pit and suddenly turns into a full Greek tragedy. Tropical baddie with hair that deserves its own spin-off. Don't let the soft voice fool you. She will steal your man and then your skincare routine. Face card? Never declines. Attitude? Expensive. Chelley's here for love but she's leaving with either a man or a brand sponsorship. Mysterious. Stunning. Serving 'try me and die' energy. Her villain origin story is already in pre-production. He's six feet of trouble and talks exclusively in vague spiritual affirmations. Just say you ghost women and go. Yes, the last name is confusing. So are his tattoos. But the man is pure Florida chaos and he's definitely kissing someone else's girl by Episode 2. Southern charm with a nuclear attitude. If you cross her, she'll flirt with your man, win the challenge, and make you cry. All before brunch. Football player jawline. Situationship energy. He'll tell you you're 'different from the others' and mean it for about 48 hours. Spicy. Stunning. A certified weapon of seduction. She's not walking into the villa. She's stomping in stilettos over your relationship. God's favorite ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix returns to host with more poise, power, and post-cheating glow than ever. Vanderpump Rules may have birthed her but Love Island USA is where she reigns. She's giving glam. She's giving goddess. She's giving 'Tom who?' Narration duties are still in the messy hands of Iain Stirling, whose savage voiceovers could ruin your life faster than a text from your ex at 2AM. Welcome to Fiji. Also known as the world's sexiest group therapy session. Producers have promised more twists, more betrayal, and more unplanned pregnancy scares than ever before. The villa is bigger. The games are messier. The vibes are chaotically horny. Yes, Love Island: Aftersun is also back every Saturday starting June 7 so you can watch emotionally unstable influencers unpack their trauma in real time. Hosts to be announced soon but they better serve face. You, the emotionally invested public, can vote for who stays, who recouples, and who gets dumped in the most humiliating way possible. All from the safety of your couch and an overpriced cocktail. Download the Love Island USAapp and start playing God. This season Love Island USA is introducing never-before-seen couples challenges, jaw-dropping shake-ups, and 'surprise guests'. Which is usually code for exes. Revenge plotlines. Or something cooked up by a deranged producer in the dark. Every episode is a ticking time bomb. Every 'I really like you' is a prelude to betrayal. Every night ends in tears, temptation, or both. And we'll be watching with popcorn and a prayer. Peacock has turned Love Island into an international hot people empire and we're just the horny little peasants lapping it up. Currently streaming or coming soon Love Island: Beyond the Villa Love Island Games (Seasons 1 and 2) Love Island UK: All Stars Love Island South Africa and Spain Love Island USA Seasons 4 to 6 Season 6 broke every Peacock record and if Season 7 doesn't top it we riot in bikinis. Love Island USA Season 7 premieres Tuesday June 3 exclusively on Peacock with new episodes daily at 6PM PT / 9PM ET during premiere week then Thursdays through Tuesdays because even hot people need Wednesdays off. This isn't love. This is psychological warfare in a thong bikini. And we'll be seated.

Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7
The villa just got hotter and a little tenser. Enter Andreina Santos, the radiant, runway-ready bombshell who just strutted into Love Island USA season 7 like she owns the place. And quite frankly? She might. The 24-year-old model is the latest curveball thrown into the villa following a mess of emotional recouplings, romantic casualties, and enough sideways glances to fill an entire season of The Real Housewives. But unlike some of the filler contestants we've seen crumble under villa pressure, Andreina came armed: with beauty, brains, and the calm confidence of someone who already knows she's the main character, even if she entered late. Andreina isn't just 'the new girl.' She's a global model with a career that has seen her zig-zag across continents, working with brands, killing runways, and building a polished, highly curated social media presence that screams expensive. With shoots that drip in style and finesse, and a face that looks genetically engineered for high fashion, Andreina has been building her brand long before she stepped foot into the Love Island villa. While the other islanders were arguing over who kissed who under what blanket, Andreina was balancing school and snapping professional-grade photos for her modeling portfolio. She's not just some pretty girl looking for airtime, she's been putting in the work. And the villa? It's just another campaign. Her Instagram serves body goals: carefully lit shots, editorial poses, styled shoots, and a vibe that falls somewhere between Vogue runway princess and effortlessly luxe It Girl. She knows her angles, her light, her audience. The girl is giving content and you will deal. Unfortunately for Andreina, she didn't walk into paradise, she walked into hell week. The villa has just been shaken by the breakup of Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown, a relationship that had been teetering on emotional fumes. Now, Huda's single, steaming, and dangerously competitive. And with fellow bombshell TJ Palma arriving alongside Andreina, the island just became a battlefield. It's giving smize and sabotage, and honestly? We're here for it. Both Andreina and Huda have their eyes on TJ, and while Huda may have tenure, Andreina is the shiny new toy. What she lacks in pre-established alliances, she makes up for in mystique. The guys may say they're satisfied in their matches, but we've seen what happens when a bombshell walks in. All that loyalty talk flies out faster than a recoupling text. Coming in right after the season's most emotionally intense recoupling was a bold move and maybe a little sadistic on the producers' part, but Andreina doesn't seem fazed. She's got that 'I just flew in from Milan and I'm not here to beg' energy. Whether she's walking into a conversation or a confrontation, she carries herself with a poised aloofness that makes it clear she's not here to compete, she's the prize. And yes, she's young. But this woman knows who she is. At 24, she's already got a portfolio, a brand, and now, national exposure. What do most of the other islanders have? A couple of matching swimsuits and a ring light. Love Island is a launchpad, and Andreina is strapped in, locked on, and ready for liftoff. Even if she doesn't find her soul-swapping twin flame in the villa, Andreina is about to get the ultimate career boost. Her Instagram already reads like a portfolio. After this show? She'll be fielding partnerships with the same brands these girls are begging to tag for free bikinis. She fits in perfectly with the model-influencer hybrid ecosystem that Love Island USA has cultivated, but make no mistake, she's poised to rise above it. She doesn't need the villa to be famous. She just needed a camera crew to catch up. The post Who Is Andreina Santos?
