James Gunn had an almost impossible task ahead of him: revive one of cinema’s most iconic characters, reset a fractured cinematic universe, and win back a skeptical audience burned by the missteps of the past.

Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

Following the box office success of Superman, James Gunn has now shared the first official poster of Milly Alcock's Supergirl movie.
