Plot Summary
When Superman becomes a controversial figure amid growing global unrest, his every move starts to raise questions—both from governments and the public he swore to protect. Enter Lex Luthor, a brilliant and manipulative tech billionaire who sees an opportunity to not just weaken Superman's influence—but erase him altogether.
As Superman (David Corenswet) faces challenges to his ideals, his only anchors are Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), the fearless Daily Planet journalist, and his loyal companion, Krypto, the super-powered dog with a heart as big as his bark.
Directed by James Gunn, Superman: Legacy reintroduces the Man of Steel to a new generation—mixing political tension, emotional depth, and high-stakes action in a bold new chapter for the DC Universe.
