James Gunn’s Superman (2025) Is 20 Minutes Shorter Than Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel

James Gunn isn’t here to waste your time. According to new reports online, his upcoming Superman film, the first official entry in DC Studios’ new Dcu slate, clocks in at a tidy 122-minute runtime. That’s 2 hours and 2 minutes—about 20 minutes shorter than Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel (2013), which ran for 143 minutes. Why the shorter runtime? Well, unlike Snyder’s version, which spent a good chunk of its opening act on Krypton with Russell Crowe’s Jor-El fighting Zod, Gunn’s Superman skips the origin story entirely. In fact, when the film opens, Clark Kent is already flying around in the red-and-blue suit and everyone—including Lois Lane—already knows he’s Superman. There’s no more glasses-as-a-disguise nonsense. Just straight-up hero stuff. This change alone saves about 30 minutes of screentime usually spent explaining why Krypton exploded, who Zod is, and why baby Kal-El was launched into space.
