As it is the first of many DC Universe reboots, millions of fans are likely intrigued to see the revamped, more optimistic version of the iconic character. After all, it will provide an insight into the quality and storytelling of future retellings of their favorite comics.
James Gunn likely has a clear vision for the franchise, and he is a master at breathing new life into tired superhero stories, such as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and DC’s The Suicide Squad.
A brand-new Superman is always exciting for any DC fan, and rising star David Corenswet is seemingly a perfect choice as Clark Kent/Superman.
Also, he is joined on-screen by a fantastic cast, as the film features Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane, and Nathan Fillion (Firefly) as Guy Gardner.
Its PG-13 rating removes some of the restrictions of the film, allowing it to reach a larger audience internationally and boost ticket sales, which could help it achieve the billion-dollar mark at the global box office.
A Small Number of Films Are Likely to Reach $1 Billion
A small number of films are expected to hit $1 billion or more at the box office each year. For example, only two films reached the sum in 2023 (Barbie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie) and 2024 (Deadpool vs Wolverine and Inside Out 2).
As of July 2025, only one film has surpassed $1 billion at the box office, and that’s Ne Zha 2, which is projected to gross $2.2 billion internationally.
As the first two movies from the Avatar franchise exceeded $2 billion each at the box office, Avatar: Fire and Ash is projected to reach a similar figure following its release this December.
Plus, Disney likely expects Zootopia 2 to replicate the success of Zootopia, which earned a little over $1 billion at the box office in 2016.
Due to the increased competition in movie theaters this year, and with superhero fans becoming more selective, Superman will need a strong opening weekend and glowing reviews to achieve over $1 billion at the international box office.
However, the film’s hype and large fan base mean it is possible to earn the eye-watering sum following its release.
If you believe Superman will gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, you could win $612 by betting $100 if it happens.
