The Man of Steel is back! The upcoming “Superman” movie, helmed by **James Gunn**, is generating significant buzz, continuing a legacy that stretches back to the late 1930s across various media.

While some fans might trace their first encounter with the hero to the late 1970s, specifically “Superman: The Movie,” featuring stars like **Marlon Brando**, **Gene Hackman**, and **Christopher Reeve**, Superman’s influence extends far beyond.
