A larger-than-life mural of Superman’s iconic cape has soared into the RED DRAGON CENTRE in Cardiff – and it’s already turning heads! As part of a nationwide street art trail celebrating the upcoming release of James Gunn’s Superman.
Cardiff joins four other cities today in unveiling a larger-than-life Superman mural as part of an epic nationwide trail.
Designed to celebrate the release of James Gunn’s Superman, arriving in UK cinemas July 11th, each of the nine murals allows fans to step into Superman’s iconic red boots. With his cape billowing behind, the interactive artwork offers a one-of-a-kind superhero photo opportunity.
Dubbed ‘Citycapes’, the installations aim for a collective cultural moment across the 5 cities, with each artwork inviting Superman fans to step into the red boots of the Man of Steel, with his cape billowing heroically behind them. The Cardiff artworks appeared overnight on Hill Street and inside the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay as part of a UK and Ireland-wide superhero-themed street art campaign.
Designed as a public photo-opportunity and street art installation in one, the murals reflect the bold new look of James Gunn’s Superman, blending comic book energy with real-world scale. Some of the murals even include a guest appearance from Krypto the Superdog, allowing fans of all ages to interact with Superman’s most loyal companion.
In addition, each mural has a unique QR code to scan, giving visitors a chance to win an exclusive private screening of the eagerly awaited Superman, in the locations the artworks are live.
Cabinet Member for Culture, Parks and Events, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said…..
‘We are proud to be chosen as one of just five cities in the UK to host this cultural fan experience. The interactive artwork will give Superman fans old and new the chance to capture an ‘out of this world’ moment with friends and family whilst visiting the city.”
James Gunn, director of Superman added….
“Superman is a hero for everyone, everywhere. I love that this campaign brings that idea to life in such a fun and accessible way. I hope fans across the UK and Ireland enjoy becoming part of Superman’s story.”
Located inside the Centre, our Superman mural invites visitors to step into the red boots of the Man of Steel himself, with his legendary cape billowing heroically behind. It’s the perfect photo opportunity for fans of all ages!
Created by talented artists Ryan Stuart and Kyle Hill, the artwork brings Superman’s iconic look to life, blending comic book energy with street art flair.
And there’s more – make sure you scan the unique QR code during your visit for the chance to win an exclusive private screening of Superman right here at the ODEON cinema.
