Ticket Sales Open

James Gunn took to Instagram this week to let fans know that tickets for his highly anticipated Superman are officially on sale. In a post featuring the film’s iconic “S” shield, the director wrote, “Tickets are now on sale! Check the link in bio for how to watch #Superman in a theater near you!” Audiences can head to superman.com/ticketing or click the link in Gunn’s profile to lock in seats for the July 11 release.

Behind The Scenes Of The Dcu

Building on months of social-media teases, Gunn shared an older March 12 post showing the first costume test for Green Lantern’s Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Metamorpho (Joivan Wade). That image, captioned “At the first costume test with our nascent super ‘heroes’,” offered the earliest peek at the ensemble cast uniting under the Superman banner. A later post thanked “our partners across the industry who have helped make an incredible viewing experience for movie-goers,” confirming the July 11 date and hinting at IMAX and 4DX screenings.

Charity Round-up Option

Gunn’s Instagram carousel also highlights a charitable twist: when fans buy a ticket on Fandango, they can round up their purchase to the nearest dollar to support Boys & Girls Clubs of America. In the post, Gunn encourages viewers to “Be a hero! Turn your ticket into hope for others at the link in bio.” This partnership echoes similar initiatives for other blockbusters but carries extra weight given Gunn’s longtime commitment to community causes.

Final Touches Before Launch

In one of his last on-set updates, Gunn posted a photo of a visual-effects workstation with the caption: “Our last visual effect shot has been finished and dropped into Superman. We are now 100% done. Thanks to all my collaborators! It has been a joy. And for the rest of you – I can’t wait for you to see the movie July 11.” That message follows a string of “Meet the Press” stops, where he debuted footage alongside cast members and revealed the film’s score by composer John Murphy.

Why James Gunn’s Superman Matters

Best known for directing Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, Gunn returned to the DC Extended Universe after co-writing the first two Superman films of the franchise. Born in St. Louis in 1966, he wrote his first script at age 15 and later moved into comic-book movies. His vision for Superman promises a fresh take on Clark Kent’s struggle between earthly ties and cosmic responsibility.

Movie insiders say the film will explore Superman’s origins in small-town America before pitting him against a threat that spans dimensions. Co-stars include Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and David Corenswet as Clark Kent, alongside veteran actors like Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho) and Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr.).

With tickets now live, fans are lining up early-access screenings via Amazon Prime and other partners, eager to experience Gunn’s blend of humor, heart and blockbuster thrills on the big screen.

Whether you’re a die-hard DCU fan or a newcomer to Krypton’s finest, securing your seat now guarantees you won’t miss one of summer’s most talked-about releases — and you’ll have the chance to make a real-world impact with a simple round-up at checkout.

Get ready to #LookUp.
