Superman Experience: Defenders Unite Opens April 18 at Warner Bros. Studios

James Gunn has announced that Superman Experience: Defenders Unite opens April 18, which also happens to be Superman Day, at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.

Gunn shared the news on Threads and said the attraction was made with “a lot of love for Superman.” A trailer has also been released teasing an interactive experience where fans team up with Superman and take part in an immersive adventure using motion-based tech. Watch below.

The official description says guests will experience Superman’s world through immersive technology where they become the hero and unite through active gameplay.

What Is Superman Experience: Defenders Unite?

Superman Experience: Defenders Unite is a new interactive attraction located at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.

According to the official details, the experience lets guests join Superman on a globe-spanning adventure through hyper-realistic motion and gameplay. The active gameplay portion lasts around 25 minutes, while the full attraction runs about an hour.

After the main experience, guests can explore the Fortress of Solitude, which will feature props, photo ops, exclusive shopping, and food.

The attraction is being promoted as something families and groups can do together, with visitors stepping into the action instead of just watching it.

What To Expect

The trailer and promotional images tease a fast-paced Superman adventure built around immersion, motion detection, and 3D tech.

Some of the featured selling points include:

Fighting alongside Superman against a DC super-villain
Building your own superhero avatar
Adaptive challenges and action-based gameplay
Exploring the Fortress of Solitude after the main event

The attraction also leans hard into the idea that guests are not just spectators. The marketing pushes the message that you “become the hero” and take part directly in the story.
