Superman: Legacy will be the newest reboot for the most known DC superhero of all time and the first movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe. The movie was officially announced last February, with a release date set on July 11, 2025. James Gunn confirmed he’s currently writing the movie, and he’s set to direct it as well, but there’s still no word about the cast.

Now, there is a rumor on Reddit going around that Gabriel LaBelle is in talks to join the first DCU movie, although it isn’t specified if he’s negotiating for the title role or not. Gabriel LaBelle is a young American-Canadian actor who is currently best known for the role of Sammy Fabelman in Steven Spielberg’s movie The Fabelmans, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards, although it didn’t win any of them.

The situation at DC and WB started to change rapidly when Warner Bros. merged with Discovery. Now, a new company known as Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) renamed its subsidiary company DC Films, to DC Studios, and James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired by WBD’s CEO David Zaslav to plan a new cinematic universe based on DC characters instead of DCEU, which will conclude this year with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

James Gunn Officially Confirms He’s Directing ‘Superman: Legacy’

Gunn announced that he was looking for a new, younger actor to play Superman in DCU after Henry Cavill, who played the character in DCEU, announced that he won’t return to play the character anymore. Although that caused outrage among Cavill’s fans and Snyderverse fanatics, Gunn insisted on his idea for the new cinematic universe, and he uncovered some of the first DCU projects. This new universe will spawn live-action movies, TV shows, and animated projects.

Superman: Legacy will be the first DCU movie, but we can expect the Creature Commandos animated series, which will premiere on MAX before that. MAX is a new streaming service that will replace the current HBOMax on May 23 in the United States.

Written and directed by James Gunn, Superman: Legacy is set to be released on July 11, 2025.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
