"It's not an origins story, it focuses on Superman's balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He's the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, he's kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned," Safran announced about the movie at a DC presser back in January, reported Deadline.

The official announcement of the star cast of the film is still awaited.

Gunn is currently on a press tour for his Marvel Studios' next film 'Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3' which is set to hit the theatres on May 5, 2023.
