James Gunn says “Superman: Legacy” film will not feature Eminem’s “Superman”

American filmmaker and studio executive James Gunn, who is best known for moving to the superhero genre with Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, is directing “Superman: Legacy” movie.

“Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.” reads the movie’s official synopsis.

Written and directed by James Gunn, “Superman: Legacy” is expected to enter production in early 2024 ahead of its scheduled theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

The movie, which stars David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, will mark the first live-action, big-screen project to be green-lit and produced under Gunn and Peter Safran’s regime as co-heads of DC Studios.

James Gunn has recently answered fans’ questions on Twitter and revealed the songs that won’t be featured in the film, including “Superman” by Taylor Swift, “Superman” by Goldfinger, “Superman” by Eminem, and “Sunshine Superman” by Donovan.
