James Gunn’s “Superman” has been formally submitted in the Golden Globes drama categories, including Best Motion Picture (Drama), with acting submissions for David Corenswet and key supporting roles, alongside directing and screenplay consideration for Gunn himself. The studio is also eyeing the Globes’ box office achievement award after the film surpassed the $150 million global revenue threshold and rose among 2025’s top domestic earners. Positioning “Superman” as a drama signals a strategic push to frame the movie’s thematic ambitions—balancing Clark’s alien heritage and human identity—as awards-caliber storytelling. The move has sparked industry discussion about the film’s tone, its broader DCU implications, and Gunn’s evolving auteur status in franchise cinema.
