The strength of the superhero genre in the entertainment world remains unwavering, and soon, audiences can look forward to a fresh, interconnected universe. The DC Extended Universe (accessible with a Max subscription) has come to an end, and James Gunn is shaping the new DC Universe. His film titled Superman will initiate this new phase in cinemas, and there’s buzz online suggesting that a well-known actor might take on the role of Jor-El, Superman’s father.
Information about Superman is somewhat scarce, but the upcoming DC film, set to release this summer, has been generating quite a buzz. Fans are eagerly anticipating what James Gunn will contribute with the initial phase entry of Gods and Monsters within the DC Universe: Gods and Monsters. A whisper from insider Jeff Sneider suggests that a well-known actor may take on the role of Superman’s father, with potential candidates including Chris Pratt or even Tom Cruise.
It seems this news might just be speculation at the moment, so let’s approach it cautiously. One report contradicts the statement about Chris Pratt reprising his role as Star-Lord in the MCU. Regardless, if true, this would certainly catch the attention of fans, considering Gunn and Pratt’s past collaboration.

It’s logical for the filmmaker and joint CEO of DC Studios to consider well-known actors like Pratt or Cruise for the role of Jor-El. Many fans who have followed the DC movies will recall Marlon Brando portraying the character opposite Christopher Reeve’s Superman, with Russell Crowe taking on the role in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel.” Therefore, if Gunn introduces Superman’s father into his upcoming DC blockbuster, there are some significant footsteps to follow.

Fans of “Guardians of the Galaxy” would surely delight in the prospect of James Gunn and Chris Pratt working together again in the same genre, and it’s rumored that Pratt might reprise his role as Peter Quill in an upcoming Marvel film. Although a title card at the end of “Guardians 3” hinted at Star-Lord’s return, no further details have emerged since then.
Fans speculated that Pratt could reappear in “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Secret Wars,” given these projects are anticipated to be grand, spanning multiple universes and featuring numerous characters. However, if he secures a part in the DC Universe instead, might that alter the situation?
Even though there might be some changes, the cast for the Superman movie is quite impressive, with David Corenswet playing Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane. It seems unlikely that this DC film will follow a traditional origin story given the addition of other DC characters like Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, and Metamorpho to the mix.
This version attempts to maintain the original’s clarity while using more natural and conversational language.
At long last, I’ll get the answers to my burning questions when Superman graces the big screen on July 11th, 2025 – part of the much-anticipated film release schedule. Whether the studio will unveil who’s playing Jor-El or if they have something up their sleeve for us movie enthusiasts, remains to be seen.
