Legacy Is Now Just Superman in New Suit Tease

Just when you’d gotten used to the sound of Superman: Legacy, James Gunn—the film’s writer and director, as well as co-head of DC Studios—has a slight adjustment to make. In a social media post marking today’s start of filming, Gunn updated the title to just be… Superman.

“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn wrote on Instagram. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025.”

Here’s the full image below, which shows a glimpse of the movie’s Superman suit costume. Looks like the Man of Steel is enduring a bit of winter weather?
