James Gunn - Superman Movie

The first reviews of James Gunn’s Superman have been very positive, with critics praising the film as a joyful and balanced reboot of the iconic superhero. Early reactions highlight the movie’s mix of action, humor, and heart, giving a fresh and optimistic take on the character.

David Corenswet, who stars as Superman, has received particular acclaim for his performance. Critics and fans alike appreciate his ability to show both the strength and vulnerability of Clark Kent and Superman.

Gunn himself called Corenswet “one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with,” noting how he brings a new depth to the role. Rachel Brosnahan’s portrayal of Lois Lane also stands out. The Emmy-winning actress brings a strong, fearless journalist to the screen, with critics praising her tough and authentic approach.

Her chemistry with Corenswet adds emotional weight to the story and shifts Lois Lane away from purely romantic portrayals seen in past adaptations.

Nicholas Hoult takes on the role of Lex Luthor, offering a more complex villain motivated by deep ideological conflict. Hoult’s Luthor sees Superman as a threat to humanity’s potential, setting up a psychological and ideological battle rather than just a physical confrontation.

The film’s positive reception points to a successful start for Gunn’s reboot of the DC Universe, with many eager to see how this fresh take on Superman will develop.
