James Gunn has opted to change the title for his upcoming film originally called “Superman: Legacy” and he’s also revealed a first look at the iconic symbol for Superman’s suit…

Sometimes the simplest answer is just the best.

That’s the conclusion that James Gunn came to recently after production started on his next film originally titled “Superman: Legacy,” which will help launch a new version of the DC shared universe under his leadership. The film stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel as he takes over the role last played by Henry Cavill in several movies including those directed by Zack Snyder. Rachel Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane while Nicholas Hoult shaved his head to play Superman’s arch nemesis Lex Luthor in the upcoming film.

After posting a photo showing the entire cast together as filming began, Gunn released a teaser image of the new symbol that sits front and center of Superman’s chest while also revealing that the film will have a new title.

“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.”

So rather than complicate the title with an extra word, Gunn will just go back to the original with “Superman” with the film set for release on July 11, 2025.

Funny enough for all the various films featuring the Man of Steel over the years, this will be the first time a movie has simply been called “Superman” since Christopher Reeve starred as the character in the original movie directed by Richard Donner in 1978.

Subsequent reboots have all had different titles like “Superman Returns,” which was released in 2006 and “Man of Steel” directed by Snyder in 2013. Even the doomed film written by Kevin Smith that was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton was called “Superman Lives.”

The TV series featuring the character have also gone through numerous titles such as “Smallville” and the ongoing show “Superman & Lois.”

Gunn ultimately decided to just go with easiest title possible with “Superman.”

In addition to the new title, another cast member has been added to the production with Wendell Pierce  — best known for his role on the critically acclaimed HBO series “The Wire” — will play Perry White, the editor in chief at the Daily Planet where Lois Lane and Clark Kent both work. The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news.

Expect more teasers to arrive in the coming months as shooting continues on “Superman” with the film due out in 2025.
