Watch Superman Returns (2006) On Netflix From US In 2022

Superman Returns is a 2006 superhero, action, adventure movie that is often considered as the sixth and final installment of the 1978 Christopher Reeve Superman franchise. The movie ignores the events of every installment after Superman II tells the story of Superman’s return and him trying to adjust in the same society that once considered him a hero.

Bryan Singer, the screenwriter, producer, and director of Superman Returns, who was also the key person behind 2000s X-Men movies, got the idea for a Superman Sequel in 2003 while shooting for X-2 and he soon pitched that idea to Lauren Shuler Donner and Richard Donner about the movie which was met with a welcome response. The shooting for the movie started once the draft for the movie was finalized in 2005 and it was eventually released on June 28, 2006, across the US after an LA premiere on June 21, 2006.

Not all the cast of the movie was AAA, but some names like Kevin Spacey really did add to the star power. The movie stars Brandon Routh as the titular character, Superman. Routh was cast because of his similarity in looks with Christopher Reeve. Also starring in the movie are Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, James Marsden as Richard White, Parker Posey as Kitty Kowalski, Eva Marie Saint as Martha Kent, Marlon Brando as Jor-El, Frank Langella as Perry White, and Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen.

The plot revolves around Superman, returning to Earth after a long 5-year hiatus following the events of Superman II, only to find out that everyone he ever knew and loved has moved on, including the love of his life, Lois Lane. Even society has adapted to a life without depending on the caped superhero. Superman now has to readjust and reconnect with the people he knew and try to make a place for himself in a world that might have no apparent need of him, while in the meantime, Luthor, his arch-nemesis, is planning something diabolical.
