Superman (2025) (English with English Subtitles): A Hero Reborn – Now Playing at Victory Cinema, Bengaluru’s #1 Movie Theatre

In a cinematic landscape saturated with capes and cowls, Superman (2025) emerges as a transformative experience — not merely a superhero film, but a cultural milestone. Victory Cinema is honoured to present this defining chapter in the DC Universe, delivering unmatched picture clarity, thunderous sound, and the most immersive movie experience in Bengaluru.

Directed and written by visionary filmmaker James Gunn, Superman (2025) is the first official film of the new DC Universe (DCU) under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership at DC Studios. It marks a bold reboot of one of the most iconic characters in global pop culture, rekindling everything fans love about Superman while introducing him to a new generation.

The Story of Superman: Not Just a Hero, But a Hope

At its heart, Superman (2025) is a deeply human story. Set in a world teetering on ideological divides, the film follows a young Clark Kent, raised by kind-hearted parents in Smallville, as he comes of age in the bustling city of Metropolis. Now working as a journalist at the Daily Planet by day and secretly saving the world as Superman, Clark is torn between his Kryptonian destiny and human values.

Unlike previous versions that focused on sheer might and moral absolutism, this Superman is vulnerable, thoughtful, and emotionally layered. David Corenswet delivers a nuanced performance as the Man of Steel, showcasing a character who questions his role in the world but remains steadfast in his principles.

This is a Superman who bleeds. Who smiles. Who cares. And in doing so, he becomes more powerful than ever.

A Star-Studded Cast That Elevates Every Frame

Superman (2025) features an ensemble cast that breathes fresh life into the DC Universe.

David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman brings quiet dignity, inner strength, and boyish charm. His portrayal reclaims Superman’s essence as a beacon of hope.

Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane, the fearless investigative journalist who is more than a love interest — she’s Superman’s equal, morally and intellectually.

Nicholas Hoult transforms into Lex Luthor, a calculating tech mogul who sees Superman not as a savior, but as a threat to humanity’s self-determination.

Hoult’s performance adds layers of psychological complexity to the classic villain. Edi Gathegi portrays Mister Terrific, a genius tactician and metahuman strategist whose mind is as sharp as his tech.

Nathan Fillion delivers a hilarious and brash take on Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern with attitude to spare. Isabela Merced brings fierce intensity to Hawkgirl, armed with her iconic mace and warrior’s honor.

Anthony Carrigan plays Metamorpho, a shape-shifting hero who adds heart, grit, and comic relief. And perhaps stealing every scene, Krypto the Superdog — Superman’s loyal companion — makes his live-action debut, blending VFX wizardry with genuine emotional connection. Supporting characters such as Perry White, the Kents, and the mysterious Engineer (Angela Spica) round out a universe that feels lived-in, modern, and ready for expansion.

Plot: A Struggle Between Power and Purpose

Superman (2025) isn’t just about battles and explosions — it’s about choices. At the core of the film is a philosophical conflict between idealism and control, personified by Superman and Lex Luthor.

While Superman strives to inspire humanity to be its best self, Luthor views him as a threat to human autonomy. Through media manipulation, political influence, and a dangerous alliance with The Engineer, Luthor begins to turn the world against its greatest protector.

As other heroes rise — the metahumans — Superman must decide whether to fight with fists or inspire with action. His decision will determine not only his place in the world but the very future of Earth.

Production: Crafted for the Big Screen

James Gunn, best known for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, approaches Superman (2025) with reverence, wit, and emotional intelligence. The film draws inspiration from classic comics like All-Star Supermanand Superman: Birthright, while updating the tone for contemporary audiences.

The film boasts sweeping visual landscapes — from the icy stillness of the Fortress of Solitude in Svalbard to the neon-lit chaos of downtown Metropolis. Visual effects are handled by industry titans like ILM, Wētā Digital, and Framestore, ensuring every frame is cinematic and unforgettable.

The costume design, particularly Superman’s suit, blends modern textures with Golden Age influence, highlighting the character’s evolution while honoring tradition.

The Score: A Soundtrack That Soars

Composer John Murphy, with assistance from David Fleming, delivers a powerful and emotive score that underscores every major beat. While not a direct reuse of the John Williams classic, the new theme subtly references the original — evoking nostalgia while asserting its own identity.

From the quiet hum of the Kent farm to the thunderous crescendo of Superman’s final flight, the music amplifies the film’s emotional resonance.
