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.

The video was shared by Snoop Dogg on his Instagram and American recording artist, fashion model and television personality, Lisa D’Amato, who played in Eminem’s “Superman” video, shared an untold story about Eminem in the comments:

“I met Eminem once. I kid you not he is an amazing person. Hear me out. I did his music vid for “Superman”. I was in the ouly hot girls pit. (Don’t ask- it more funny than anything) anyway, it was a few days till Xmas. We all thought we’d be paid for this gig way after the new year which is normal. Must wait for checks to pend with agencies all of that. He wasn’t having that. He made production go to the bank and give us all cash so everyone on set left with cold hard cash for the holidays! Thanks Em! I’ll never forget that. Also we were all treated great. Will never forget that.” she said.

Comic Book Resources, also known by the initialism CBR, which is a Canadian website dedicated to the coverage of comic book-related news and discussion, has recently published a long article about Batman vs. Superman.

Batman vs. Superman was developed in the early 2000s under the working title Asylum, with Wolfgang Petersen at the helm. The initial plan was to promote the film as Batman and Superman, implying a team-up, but then, a week before release, replace the promotional posters with a new version that scratched out the word “and.” The true title would be revealed as Batman vs. Superman.

In the article, it is mentioned that the biggest rumor at the time had Eminem potentially playing Batman.

In the paragraph we read: “Christian Bale was already being rumored to play Batman, while Jude Law and Josh Hartnett were considered for Superman. Petersen also indicated he would be open to Matt Damon playing either role.

Dina Rae says Mariah Carey was original vocal on Eminem’s “Superman”

Dina Rae has recently set down with SideShowRaaj for an interview where she remembered some stories about Eminem, D12, Big Proof and many more.

She has revealed that Mariah Carey was originally on Eminem’s “Superman”:

“I flew to Detroit for ‘Superman.’ I did it in Eminem’s studio. Other three songs we did in Los Angeles. I will give you little fun fact that a lot of people don’t know. Actually, Mariah Carey was the original vocal on Superman. And then whatever happened. He was little upset. He was like ‘f**k it, call Dina.’ So I got flown to Detroit. Her vocals were actually reference and I recorded there in the studio on his crib and that’s how Superman came about.”

“I always respected Em. He was always straight up with me. He always tells me what it is. When he flew me to Detroit he said ‘look, I can’t sign you Dina, me and Dre just went half of this kid named 50 Cent. But I’m going to put you on my tour and you are going to get your own deal. I was just grateful for the opportunity.” – said Rae
