As its summer 2025 release approaches, James Gunn’s Superman has become one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, especially for fans of the superhero genre. Amid the rising excitement, rumors have started circulating on social media: just how long will this film actually be?

Over the past few days, various reports have claimed that Superman will run for 2 hours and 2 minutes, while others have suggested a much longer cut—up to 2 hours and 20 minutes. The rumors spread quickly, prompting James Gunn to respond directly and provide clarification.

On the platform Threads, the account DCDomain asked, “Is the runtime for Superman locked? There's a rumor it’s 2 hours and 2 minutes.” Gunn firmly replied, “That is not correct. It’s almost totally locked—we’re just finishing a couple of final VFX shots over the weekend—but that’s not the runtime.”

Meanwhile, an Instagram post from Gunnverse claimed that the movie would run 2 hours and 20 minutes. Gunn debunked that rumor as well, saying, “Nope! It will be the same all over the world (and it’s not 2:20).”

Gunn’s comments make it clear that there is still no official confirmation of the film’s final runtime. He also emphasized that the movie is still in the last phase of post-production, with a few visual effects shots remaining. Because of this, none of the circulating rumors can be taken as fact just yet.

Such speculation is not unusual, particularly for major superhero films. Rumors about storylines, characters, and runtimes are common ahead of release. However, Gunn appears committed to maintaining clear communication with fans, choosing to personally debunk misinformation when it appears.

Superman marks the first feature film of the new DC Universe under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran. Beyond ushering in a new era for DC Studios, it also represents the first Superman project in over a decade. Understandably, expectations are sky-high—including curiosity about its runtime.

Although not yet officially announced, the film’s final runtime will likely be revealed closer to its July release. Until then, Gunn urges fans to be cautious and not believe unverified reports, especially those coming from unofficial sources.

Whether this film ends up being longer or shorter than past Superman adaptations remains a mystery. What’s certain is that James Gunn intends to share the official runtime once the film is fully locked and ready to premiere in theaters worldwide.
