This phenomenon shows that many were eagerly awaiting its arrival on digital services to enjoy it.
For those who are still unaware and haven’t seen it
In the box office, ‘Superman‘ has grossed a total of 615 million dollars worldwide, far exceeding its budget of 225 million. Although it has not been a resounding success, the result has been more than enough for Warner Bros. to consider the film a triumph. With these figures, there are already discussions about a sequel, indicating the studio’s satisfaction with the film’s reception.
The physical release of ‘Superman’ is scheduled for October 15 in Spain, which has generated great anticipation among fans who want to enjoy its image and sound quality. Additionally, an elegant steelbook will be released, which will undoubtedly attract even more collectors.
Some critics consider ‘Superman’ to be the best science fiction movie of the year and, surprisingly, it has positioned itself as their personal favorite of 2025, a significant milestone given that the author is not a regular follower of the character. This comment reflects the high expectations that the movie has surpassed, even surprising those who traditionally do not follow the stories of the Man of Steel.
Many doubted whether James Gunn, creator of such antics as Guardians of the Galaxy or The Suicide Squad, would be able to correctly bring to the big screen the greatest hero of all time: Superman (if you thought of Batman, please go back to the starting point). 615 million dollars later, there is no doubt, and Warner has given him the green light to continue exploring his universe, as long as one of the next projects to come is the sequel to Man of Steel.

Many doubted whether James Gunn, creator of hits like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, would be able to properly bring to the big screen the greatest hero of all time: Superman (if you thought of Batman, please go back to square one). 615 million dollars later, there is no doubt, and Warner has given him the green light to continue exploring his universe, as long as one of the next projects is the sequel to Man of Steel. Gunn has already released a drawing of our hero alongside Lex Luthor and hinted that it is a story about both, in a buddy movie style, but… What comics should one read to fully understand the complex personality of his antagonist? Don’t worry: we are going to recommend the 5 definitive comics to understand Lex Luthor. Yes, really. And along the way, a little more about Superman.
What happened to the man of tomorrow?
In 1986, Alan Moore created one of the most definitive (and defining) comics in DC history: a final story for Superman in which Lois Lane (now Lois Elliot) narrates Superman’s last days, 10 years after his death. In the adventure, Luthor, who always believes he is doing good, ends up being invaded by Brainiac and creates chaos until, in a moment of lucidity, when he becomes himself again, he asks Lana Lang to do something for him: to break his neck once and for all, a final heroic gesture that actually represents everything we need to know about the character: a villain against his will, but with inner strength and a strange sense of nobility.
John Byrne’s Superman
John Byrne forever changed Superman, especially in his early issues: he not only altered crucial parts of his past but also made Luthor his ideal antagonist. In an early story, the villain manages to guess who his enemy really is by inputting data into a computer that gives him an incredible result: Clark Kent is Superman. Luthor, filled with rage, decides to destroy the computer, believing that if it were so obvious, a mind as perfect as his would have reached that conclusion long ago. Luthor is superintelligent, yes, but also deeply selfish. By the way, you should read all of Byrne’s Superman, two fantastic and unrepeatable years.
All-Star Superman
Gunn has previously mentioned All-Star Superman as inspiration for the first movie, and it makes sense: these 12 issues written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely were incredible, they renewed the character forever. Luthor finally manages to kill Superman, although that has unimaginable consequences. I won’t tell you more: it has been reprinted in a thousand and one ways, and rightly so, because it is a comic that is worth discovering without knowing much more about it.
How much can a man hate?
Mark Millar, before becoming well-known in the comic book world, wrote a few small issues seemingly aimed at children but that actually had much more philosophical depth than entire story arcs of the character. In particular, issue 27 of The Adventures of Superman features “How Much Can a Man Hate?”, a story that ends, possibly, with the two best pages in the history of their relationship. First, a flashback in which the villain says “One day, Lex Luthor is going to look down at Metropolis, and everyone will look up at me”, followed by a final page where he is in his tower, high up… watching Superman in the sky, unable to do anything to remedy it. A masterpiece.
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel
We conclude with one of the most important comics to understand this complex character: one from his point of view. Obviously, Luthor has always seen himself as the hero, and Superman is what prevents the human race from moving forward, because for him, he has always been just another extraterrestrial threat. The ending is perfect, detailing how each of the two sees themselves and their humanity, love, and defeat. A treasure to cherish.

This cast has generated expectations among fans, who are eager to see how these actors reinvent their respective characters in an increasingly competitive superhero landscape.
James Gunn’s direction, known for his work in the Marvel universe and his distinctive style, presents a fresh proposal that could attract both new viewers and traditional fans of the Man of Steel. While the landscape for superhero productions is complex, many anticipate that Gunn’s narrative approach offers a balance of action, humor, and character development, traits that have been the hallmark of his career.

The series Peacemaker, created by James Gunn, has evolved notably in the new DC universe (DCU), becoming one of its most important properties. After a complicated start charged by the transition of universes, the narrative of the second season has been on the rise, leading fans to speculate that the finale of this season could introduce the main villain of the upcoming movie Man of Tomorrow.
We’re flying away!
James Gunn has kept the last three episodes of the second season under strict confidentiality, which were not sent to the press for review. This decision reinforces the idea that they may contain crucial information about the future of the DCU. Gunn stated: “People who want to search can find out, but I really don’t want those episodes to leak“. The anticipation surrounding these episodes is palpable, and Gunn has even described them as some of his favorite work to date.
Regarding the movie Man of Tomorrow, Gunn has described Peacemaker as a “prequel,” suggesting that the events in the series will directly affect the story of the movie, which will focus on the relationship between Superman and Lex Luthor in the face of a new threat. It is speculated that the antagonist could be Brainiac, a villain whose presence would change the dynamic between Superman and Luthor. Additionally, there is also the possibility of an evil variant of Superman appearing, which could further enrich the narrative.
All of this information points to an intriguing future for the DCU. The combination of Gunn, Superman, and Luthor facing a great danger promises to excite fans of the franchise. One of the highlights is anticipated for 2027, with the arrival of Man of Tomorrow, leaving the audience in suspense about what fate holds for these iconic characters.

This announcement was made by James Gunn through his social media, shortly after the notable box office success of his recent installment of the hero, which has sparked interest in future productions in the DC universe.
Many details about the sequel
The sequel, although it will not be a direct continuation of the story presented in the previous film, will feature Superman in a significant role. Gunn has indicated that the production of Man of Tomorrow will proceed at an accelerated pace, reflecting the studio’s confidence in the potential of this character. Additionally, other projects are on the horizon, such as Supergirl, Clayface, and the Lanterns series, scheduled to be released before the premiere of the new film.
The iconic villain Lex Luthor will return as Superman’s main antagonist, promising to generate exciting interactions between both characters. Gunn has shared suggestive images that reference comics where these heroes must collaborate, suggesting that there will be nuances in their relationship in this new installment. However, it is still unknown whether David Corenswet, the actor portraying Superman, will return definitively or if he will have cameos in other projects within the universe.
Since his debut in 1948 with the first Superman serial, the character has evolved, remaining relevant almost eight decades later. The anticipation surrounding Man of Tomorrow is a testament to Superman’s appeal, reinforcing the idea that, as always, the public remains fascinated by the possibility of a man being able to fly.
The DC cinematic universe, under the creative direction of James Gunn, has taken a significant step forward with the release of Superman. This new chapter not only inaugurates a new era but also establishes connections with previous productions like Suicide Squad, Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, and Blue Beetle, suggesting that Gunn’s new universe already had a considerable background.

One of the most intriguing elements presented is the company LordTech, an innovative technology firm located in Metropolis. Competing with giants like LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises, LordTech was introduced in the comics in Justice League #1 in 1987 and remains a key element in the current DC narrative. This company not only develops advanced technology but was also seen sponsoring an early version of the Justice League, involving characters like Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner.
At the center of LordTech is Maxwell Lord, the CEO of the company, who was previously portrayed by Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 1984 However, Lord is not just a simple magnate; he is a cunning manipulator and spy with metahuman powers, including telepathy and mind control. His story and abilities will add a layer of complexity to the future of the DC universe. Additionally, it is mentioned that Amanda Waller, a key figure in the universe, captures him and locks him in a prison designed to neutralize his powers.
With these connections and the development of characters like Maxwell Lord, the DC narrative is set to explore deep conflicts and intriguing dynamics between heroes and villains. Fans can expect Gunn’s universe to not only maintain action and adventure but also delve into darker themes of manipulation and power.

Meanwhile, the DC film, directed by James Gunn, has grossed 611.4 million dollars, dropping to seventh place.
A good summer for the box office
But the milestones don’t stop there. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring a stellar cast that includes Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, has surpassed 500 million dollars, exactly 506.3 million, remaining in ninth place in the annual ranking. This closeness in revenue reflects an increasingly intense competition among superheroes, as Mission Impossible: Final Judgment occupies the eighth position with 598 million.
The big box office phenomenon this summer has been Weapons, a new horror offering that has remained in the top position after three weeks in theaters, accumulating $234.6 million. This film, directed by Zach Cregger, has shown that the horror genre continues to attract significant audiences, defying expectations in a summer dominated by superheroes and action.
On the other hand, the revenue numbers continue to show a change in trends, as for the first time, no superhero movie is expected to surpass 700 million dollars this year. Regarding the highest-grossing titles globally, Ne Zha 2 leads with 1.902 billion dollars, followed by Lilo & Stitch with 1.033 billion and a Minecraft movie with 957.7 million.

Discovery shareholders, in which it was announced that the premiere is scheduled for October 1, 2027. This news comes at a time of growing optimism for the company, amid a notable resurgence in the success of its film productions.
Nanananana, Batman!
The CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, highlighted in this communication the recent successful trajectory of WBD, particularly mentioning Superman, the new installment that has already grossed 560 million dollars worldwide. This financial performance not only reinforces the health of the studio but also heralds a promising future for other projects in development, including The Batman Part II.
As the production of The Batman Part II approaches, fans are eager to learn more about what this new chapter will offer. Although not many details about the plot have been revealed, it is expected to continue exploring the nuances of the dark universe that Reeves has created. With critics praising the atmosphere and depth of the previous installment, expectations are high for this sequel.
Likewise, the company’s strong performance in cinema, combined with the start of filming for such anticipated projects, creates a positive environment for future productions within the studio. As the production stages progress, more details about the casting and updates on the story are expected to be revealed. However, rumors about the cast and plot are still speculative and have not been officially confirmed.
The movie Superman, directed by James Gunn, has established itself as the most successful superhero film of 2025, grossing 553.2 million dollars worldwide so far. This figure positions it as the seventh highest-grossing film of the year. In the United States, it has reached 317.9 million, just 900,000 dollars away from Jurassic World: Dominion, which totals 318.8 million.

The movie Superman, directed by James Gunn, has established itself as the most successful superhero film of 2025, grossing 553.2 million dollars worldwide so far. This figure positions it as the seventh highest-grossing film of the year. In the United States, it has reached 317.9 million, just 900,000 dollars away from Jurassic World: The Rebirth, which totals 318.8 million.
A discreet box office around the rest of the planet
However, the global results show a different picture. Outside of the United States, Superman has grossed $253.3 million, a figure that is significantly lower compared to the $449.2 million of Jurassic World 4. This disparity has led Gunn to reflect on the well-known lack of familiarity with Superman in certain markets. “He is not as well-known a superhero as Batman,” the director commented in an interview. Additionally, the current anti-American sentiment seems to be influencing the film’s box office, affecting its international performance.
The movie marks the launch of a new franchise within the DC Universe, an attempt to revitalize the genre after a period of ups and downs at the box office. With David Corenswet as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult portraying Lex Luthor, Superman lays the groundwork for future installments, including Supergirl, which is scheduled to be released on June 26, 2026.
Despite the emotional connection that many have with the character of Superman, the difference in revenue between markets highlights the need for strategies more tailored to each region. With Lilo & Stitch and a Minecraft movie dominating the box office in North America, it is clear that Superman’s success is not reflected in the same way globally.
The movie ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ has maintained the number 1 spot at the U.S. box office during its second weekend, grossing 40 million dollars. However, this figure represents an alarming 66% drop in revenue compared to its debut. Although it managed to outperform other releases like ‘The Bad Guys 2’ and ‘Get Smart’, its difficulties are notable when compared to other Marvel titles, such as ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ and ‘Thunderbolts’, which saw smaller declines in their revenue during their second weekend.

The movie ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ has maintained the number 1 spot at the U.S. box office during its second weekend, grossing 40 million dollars. However, this figure represents an alarming 66% drop in revenue compared to its debut. Although it managed to outperform other releases like ‘The Bad Guys 2’ and ‘Get Smart’, its difficulties are notable when compared to other Marvel titles, such as ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ and ‘Thunderbolts’, which saw smaller declines in their revenue during their second weekend.
Does not meet expectations
Specifically, ‘The Fantastic Four’ has experienced a more drastic decline than ‘Captain America’ (53.2%) and ‘Thunderbolts’ (56%), leading experts to question its ability to maintain public interest in the long term. After two weeks in theaters, the Marvel movie has grossed 368 million dollars globally, which is considerably lower than the 406.8 million accumulated by ‘Superman’, which has shown better audience retention.
With these figures, the projections for ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ indicate that the movie could reach a total box office comparable to ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ (476 million), although there are no expectations of breaking significant records. Despite its promising start, where it accumulated 216.6 million in its opening weekend, the trend suggests that its total earning potential is quickly fading.
Additionally, ‘The Fantastic Four’ has had a historic flop in China, although no exact figures have been provided. This only adds more uncertainty to a release that was expected to be a resounding success within the Marvel universe.
