The new DCU from DC Studios is already off to a start with the release of Creature Commandos on Max. And in 2025, it will take flight in theaters with the release of James Gunn's Superman film. Ever since James Gunn announced the new studio in November of 2022, fans have been anxiously awaiting the company's first theatrical release. Fortunately, they won't be waiting for much longer. 

DC Studios's slate for 2025 is minimal (compared to the MCU's plans for the year), but you can't rush richness. You can bet that I'll be clearing my calendar for these release dates. 

  • July 11 - Superman
  • August - Peacemaker season 2

To get the full scoop on what's in store for DC Studios, read on. 

Upcoming DC movie: Superman (July 11, 2025)

Originally, 2025's Superman was titled Superman: Legacy, before dropping the second half of its title entirely. The film is written and directed by James Gunn, and stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The cast is rounded out by Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Based on that information alone, this Superman film will usher in several heroes from DC Comics to live-action at once. And we're here for it.

Upcoming DC TV series: Peacemaker season 2 (August 2025)

One thing we're glad to see is the continuation of John Cena's Peacemaker into the new DCU, represented in season 2 of the show on Max. Like Superman, the show is spearheaded by James Gunn. A specific release date has not yet been announced for the show beyond an August 2025 window, but stay tuned for any details that come out.
