The release date for Superman 2 may have been revealed.
Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios’ Superman movie was released in United States theaters in July 2025. Written and directed by James Gunn, the DCU film stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Following the release of Superman, Gunn began to tease Superman 2; however, he’s also said that the follow-up will be “a little different than what one might expect.” It’s not immediately clear what Gunn means by this, though David Zaslav did recently refer to the film as being “the next movie in the Super-Family.”
What is the reported Superman 2 release date?
According to insider EmpireCity Box Office, Warner Bros. Pictures is looking to release Superman 2 in July 2027. More specifically, the studio is reportedly eying July 9, 2027, or July 16, 2027, as a release date. This means the DCU sequel will be filming at the same time as The Batman 2, also known as The Batman Part II, next year.
This is just a rumor at this time, as neither Gunn nor anybody at DC Studios has confirmed that this is the release date for Superman 2.
Gunn has said, however, that the treatment for Superman 2 is already done and that production will start sooner than fans may be expecting. He just recently told Collider, “We’re scheduling it now. I’m totally done with the treatment. My treatments are incredibly intense. They’re not regular treatments. They’re 60-page treatments with dialogue and everything. And so, now I’m just turning that into a script. We’re planning out when we’re going to shoot that. It’s going to be much sooner rather than later.”
Superman is now available to rent or purchase on digital outlets. The next DCU project is Peacemaker Season 2, which premieres this coming Thursday.
