As a die-hard DC Universe fan with countless hours spent poring over comic books and movie trivia, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation as we inch closer to James Gunn‘s Superman debut. The rumors, theories, and speculations surrounding this film have kept me on the edge of my seat for months now, and the latest one about “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba playing in the movie has added a fun twist to the mix. However, it seems that James Gunn himself has put that rumor to rest, which is a bit of a letdown, but hey, I guess we won’t be humming “I get knocked down, but I get up again” during the movie after all!
Approaching the eleven-month mark until the release of James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film, which will serve as the launchpad for his and Peter Safran’s fresh take on the DC Universe. Despite numerous uncertainties surrounding the Superman project following its completion this summer, a particularly intriguing theory may have been laid to rest. On a recent episode of Threads, Gunn dismissed a report from Puck News regarding a potential video game based on Matt Reeves’ Batman series, while also addressing a new rumor about Superman. Specifically, the speculation hints at the possibility that Chumbawamba’s 1997 hit “Tubthumping” was played during the filming of Superman. Although Gunn didn’t explicitly confirm that “Tubthumping” won’t be featured in Superman’s soundtrack, he did clarify that the song was not played on set during production.
Additionally, it’s important to clarify that the claim about “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba being played during the filming of Superman isn’t accurate – this seems to be an unverified rumor circulating on Reddit.
What Is James Gunn’s Superman About?
According to DC Studios, Superman narrates his tale of navigating his Kryptonian roots alongside his small-town upbringing as Clark Kent from Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of honesty, righteousness, and a brighter future, steered by human compassion in a world that often views kindness as outdated.
In this upcoming Superman production, David Corenswet will portray both Clark Kent/Superman, while Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult steps into the shoes of Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo is cast as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce becomes Perry White, Sara Sampaio embodies Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore will play Otis, Mar?a Gabriela de Far?a assumes the role of Angela Spica/The Engineer, Isabela Merced transforms into Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion is set to portray Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi becomes Michael Holt/Mr. Terrific, Anthony Carrigan takes on Rex Mason/Metamorpho, Beck Bennett will embody Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover will play Cat Grant, and Christopher McDonald assumes the role of Ron Troupe.
What Is James Gunn’s Next Movie After Superman?
Although DC Studios hasn’t officially greenlit a new Superman movie, they do have several DC Universe projects in the pipeline. For instance, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is scheduled for 2026, and there are also unspecified dates for “The Authority,” “The Brave and the Bold,” and “Swamp Thing.” Last month, Gunn hinted on Threads that he’s aware of which DCU film project he will be writing next, but he can’t focus on it right now.
“It’s just a distant corner of my brain as I’m focused on what we’re shooting,” Gunn wrote.
Superman will be released exclusively in theaters on July 11, 2025.
