James Gunn’s Superman Movie Merch Is Flying Off Shelves

by

As a hardcore comic book fan and avid gamer with a soft spot for Superman, I can hardly contain my excitement as I witness the surge of merchandise inspired by the upcoming 2025 live-action movie. The San Diego Comic-Con unveiling of T-shirts, hats, pins, and limited-edition collectibles adorned with the S-shield logo has left fans like me in awe.

1) Merchandising items related to Superman are selling rapidly. The initial merchandise, such as t-shirts, hats, badges, and a special edition DC Comics’ All-Star Superman #1 comic book with James Gunn’s Superman logo, were made available for purchase at the DC booth during San Diego Comic-Con, alongside collectibles influenced by DC Studios’ Creature Commandos. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled exclusive merchandise on their online DC Shop, showcasing the Superman S-shield as it appears in the 2025 film – and this too sold out quickly, faster than a speeding bullet could travel.

If the Superman merchandise from the DC Shop’s movie collection is temporarily unavailable, fans can leave their email addresses on the shop’s website to receive a notification once the products are restocked.

In the fresh DC Universe, the series “Superman” introduces Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, and Neva Howell and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Ma and Pa Kent. Additionally, Terence Rosemore and Sara Sampaio portray Luthor’s assistants Otis and Eve Teschmacher.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Gunn made a virtual appearance to unveil the new DC Studios logo and the first sneak peek of the Creature Commandos trailer. However, Peter Safran, producer and DC Studios co-chief, mentioned that it’s premature to share any footage from the ongoing production of Superman.

In my opinion as a fan, a year is really quite a lengthy duration for a campaign. Looking from our perspective, I believe we could put more strength and intensity into our efforts over a shorter timeframe, instead of prolonging it indefinitely. That’s just how we feel about it.
