James Gunn says that 2025’s Superman is about halfway through filming.
In a recent Instagram post, Gunn was asked in the comments when the first trailer for 2025’s Superman would be released and if it would potentially be ready to play in front of July 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Production on the film began on February 29, 2024, which is the Man of Steel’s canonical birthday.
Gunn responded to the comment, “We’re only a little over halfway thru shooting.”
