A new report suggests that Superman will have a pretty healthy runtime of around 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Jeff Sneider revealed in the latest edition of The InSneider newsletter that Superman had had multiple test screenings now. He disclosed that reports are the film's runtime currently clocks in at around 2 hours and 20 minutes. For comparison, James Gunn's longest movie was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at 2 hours and 30 minutes, while Zack Snyder's Man of Steel came in at 2 hours and 23 minutes.
Sneider went on to discuss the tone of the film, saying, "I spoke to someone this weekend who has seen Superman, and they really liked it. They said David Corenswet delivers as the Man of Steel and that the 'jokey moments' I mentioned on my podcast, The Hot Mic, were initially viewed out of context, but worked much better within the flow of the edit."
He went on to add, "They compared it to how Gunn balanced the humor and the drama in The Suicide Squad, saying it has genuinely funny moments, but it also knows when to drop the shtick and get serious."
Superman will serve as the first live-action entry expressly made for the new DCU. In addition to seeing Superman, the film will include the first appearances of Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Cat Grant, Steve Lombard, Lex Luthor, Eve Teschmacher, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Guy Gardner, the Engineer, and Krypto the Superdog. Some rumors have indicated we will also see the first appearance of Supergirl, who is set to be played by Milly Alcock. She will then appear in her own film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
The cast of Superman is set to include David Corenswet as Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. They will all be joined by Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, María Gabriela de Faría as the Engineer , Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher MacDonald as Ron Troupe, and Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard.
