« Superman » : un retour convaincant signé James Gunn à découvrir ce soir sur Canal+ 20.02.2026

James Gunn's new "Superman" film, airing on Canal+ this Friday, February 20th, marks a revitalizing return for the iconic superhero, nine years after the poorly received "Justice League." Gunn, who also co-presides over DC Studios, aims to recapture the essence of Superman as he envisioned him in his youth: a purely altruistic and luminous figure, contrasting with darker heroes. The film, which runs for 2 hours and 9 minutes and will be shown at 9:10 PM, incorporates Gunn's signature humor and self-awareness, reminiscent of his "Guardians of the Galaxy" work, evident in character details like Green Lantern's hairstyle and the prominent role of Krypto the dog. While featuring essential blockbuster elements like spectacular action and a compelling villain in Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, the film prioritizes Gunn's distinct directorial style, potentially diverging from earlier interpretations of the character.
