Today marks 83 years since Jimmy Olsen made his DC Comics debut and Superman writer and director James Gunn has shared two new shots of Skyler Gisondo's version of the character. 

One was released on X and the other on Instagram; the actor is wearing the same costume we saw in set photos, suggesting that will be his main look throughout the duration of this movie.

The actor certainly looks the part and is best known for roles in Licorice Pizza, Booksmart, Vacation, The Righteous Gemstones, and Santa Clarita Diet.

It's been a while since we've seen Clark Kent's friendship with Jimmy explored on screen (in the DCEU, the photographer was shot in the head before ever encountering the Man of Steel). With Gunn - a huge comic book fan - in charge of the DCU, that finally looks set to change. 

"Happy Anniversary to Superman's pal, Jimmy Olsen, who debuted on this day in 1941 (although he did appear earlier as an 'office boy' in Action Comics 6)," Gunn says in the posts below. "Created by Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Bob Maxwell. I can’t wait for you to see [Skyler Gisondo's] portrayal in Superman on July 11, 2025."

Take a closer look at Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen in the social media posts below. 

Superman tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

David Corenswet is playing the Man of Steel, while Rachel Brosnahan has been tapped to star as Lois Lane.

The cast includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.

Supporting characters include Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa Kent, Neva Howell as Ma Kent, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher MacDonald as Ron Troupe, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Milly Alcock is also expected to make a cameo appearance as Supergirl before taking flight in her own movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Superman is currently set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.

@McMurdo - There are only two genders, GTFO with the pronouns.

@captainwalker - Two sexes, many genders. I know it's a lot of work but keep up with the tunes homie, you'll offend less people. Which is something I assume you want?

@UncleHarm1 - Empirically wrong, you're confusing sex and gender with mental illness and unfortunate birth defects.

People taking offense has become a crutch that weakens society as a whole.

@captainwalker - I don't think you know what empirically means😅

Nice try though. That really sounded smart in your head I bet. There have been countless studies that show gender identity is not a mental illness, which means your opinion is empirically proven to be inaccurate. But keep parroting your Fox News BS and contribute to the heightened rate of suicide for LGBT human beings. Way to be on the wrong side of history:)

@UncleHarm1 - Well, since you sited " countless studies " then I guess that's the end of this debate.......LOL

@captainwalker - Do you know the difference between debating a conservative and a liberal? A conservative will always say "show me the proof," where a liberal will have already done his homework. I could link a bunch of articles for you but you won't read them

@UncleHarm1 - I'm not a conservative and if you want to identify as a [frick]ing cat or whatever so be it.

If you identify as anything other than your biological self then you are batshit crazy.

UncleHarm1 - 8/26/2024, 6:07 PM
@captainwalker - If you want to identify as a nice person, or contributing member of society then you can keep your opinions as long as you keep them to yourself. Why does it bother you so much what other people do?

@Moriakum - Still can't believe Snyder used the character "Jimmy Olsen" as a cheap throw away for a kill when he could have used any other name not tied to a character.
