- Superman is said to have a runtime of 122 minutes or 2 Hours and 2 Minutes.
- The report came via DC Film News, who claim that they received the news via the international distributors of Superman.
- Superman is set to release in theaters on July 11, 2025.
[Update | May 28, 2025: James Gunn has clarified that the leaked Superman runtime is fake.]
Superman is all set to hit theaters this July, and judging by the trailers we’ve seen so far, it’s safe to say that fans of the hero are in for the time of their lives. Since this movie marks DC’s return to the big screen, expectations are at an all-time high—and now, we might have just received an update that could play a defining role in Superman’s performance. The runtime of Superman (2025) might have been reportedly revealed, and we’re here to tell you everything about it.
An update from DC Film News claims to have confirmed the official runtime of Superman. According to it, Superman (2025) will have a runtime of 122 minutes—that’s 2 hours and 2 minutes. The outlet states that this information comes from the movie’s “international distributors,” though they shared no specific names or further details.
As of now, the source remains unclear, and without an official statement from Warner Bros. or DC Studios, it’s best not to take it as the absolute truth.
In light of this update, James Gunn himself has spoken up regarding the reveal of Superman’s runtime. However, before I tell you what he said, let me get a bit into what brought Gunn into the picture. According to a post made by Gunnverse on Instagram, Superman has been listed at 140 Minutes, which is 2 Hours and 20 Minutes in Thailand, and it seems the post showed up on Gunn’s feed where he commented-
Nope! It will be the same all over the world (and it’s not 2:20)”
So, with that, there’s another theory of Superman’s runtime fact-checked by now, other than James Gunn.
However, if the original report about the 2:02 runtime turns out to be true, Superman (2025) will be the shortest movie about the Man of Steel to be made so far. In comparison, Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel had a runtime of 2 hours and 23 minutes, and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice had 2 hours and 31 minutes of runtime.
However, looking at all the elements that are involved in Superman, especially the sheer number of villains in the movie, I believe that when the runtime for Superman is announced officially, it will turn out to be longer than the one reported. So, let’s wait and see if we are in for another “first” by DCU or not.
