James Gunn’s Superman Movie Merchandise Sells Out Rapidly

Superman merchandise is flying off shelves. The first official movie-based items, including T-shirts, hats, pins, and a limited-edition foil cover version of DC Comics’ All-Star Superman #1 featuring James Gunn’s Superman logo, were offered for sale at the DC booth at San Diego Comic-Con. The event also showcased collectibles inspired by DC Studios’ upcoming Creature Commandos. For fans who couldn’t attend, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled exclusive merchandise on the online DC Shop, featuring the Superman S-shield as it will appear in the 2025 movie, which quickly sold out.

Currently, the DC Shop’s Superman movie apparel is sold out, but fans can sign up on the official website to be notified when the items are restocked.

The eagerly anticipated movie, set to hit theaters in July 2025, will explore Kal-El’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. According to the official synopsis, the film will showcase Superman as the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, driven by human kindness in a world that often views kindness as old-fashioned.

David Corenswet, known for his role in Twisters, will portray the younger Man of Steel. He will be joined by a star-studded cast, including Rachel Brosnahan from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult, famous for his roles in the X-Men movies, as Lex Luthor, and María Gabriela de Faría from Deadly Class as Angela Spica, also known as the Engineer in The Authority.

Set in the new DC Universe, the movie will also feature Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Neva Howell and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Ma and Pa Kent, Terence Rosemore and Sara Sampaio as Lex Luthor’s henchmen Otis and Eve Teschmacher. Additionally, the film will include a superhero ensemble cast with Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as the Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

James Gunn made a virtual appearance at San Diego Comic-Con to debut the new DC Studios logo and the first trailer for Creature Commandos. However, producer and DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran mentioned that it’s too early to reveal anything from the still-shooting Superman movie.

“A year is truthfully a long time for a campaign and so, from our perspective, I think we go stronger and harder over a shorter period, rather than stretching it out,” Safran stated in a recent interview. “That’s our instinct on that.”

DC Studios’ Superman is scheduled to soar into theaters on July 11th, 2025.
